Your complete guide to building a personal motivation vault
Cookie Jar is inspired by David Goggins' mental technique of storing your wins, motivational moments, and powerful words in a mental "cookie jar" that you can reach into when life gets tough.
Our app takes this concept digital — letting you save affirmations, tweets, and YouTube videos that you can revisit whenever you need motivation.
The concept is simple: When you're at your best, fill the jar. When you're struggling, pull a cookie and remind yourself who you are.
Cookie Jar is available exclusively on iOS. Here's how to get started:
Download Cookie Jar from the App Store and start using it right away.
Swipe through the onboarding screens to understand the core features: saving content and pulling random cookies when you need motivation.
Enable notifications to get daily reminders to pull a cookie — it's a great way to start your morning with positive energy.
There are three types of content you can save:
Write personal affirmations, motivational quotes, or reminders to yourself.
"I've overcome harder things than this." • "I am capable, strong, and resilient." • "This challenge is making me stronger."
Save inspiring tweets before they disappear from your timeline.
Keep motivational speeches, interviews, and videos that light your fire.
The magic happens when you need motivation. Tap the big cookie on the home screen to pull a random piece of content from your jar.
The randomness is intentional — you never know what you need to hear until you hear it. Trust the jar.
Cookie Jar is currently a mobile-first iOS app. However, there are ways to access your motivation on larger screens:
