One question at a random moment
A few times a day, at a random moment, Momentez sends one question. You answer right in the notification: “I see” with a tap, or “Write” with a single line. Or don’t answer at all — the question simply goes away.
You choose the hours when questions may come and how many arrive a day: two by default, or one, four or six. Need quiet? Pause them.
While your mind is elsewhere
Almost half the time, our minds are somewhere else. We replay yesterday’s conversation, plan tomorrow, argue with someone in our heads. Meanwhile something good is often right here: sunlight casting patterns on the wall, a funny thing someone said, a warm cup of tea in your hands. And we miss it.
In 2010 Harvard psychologists Matthew Killingsworth and Daniel Gilbert asked 2,250 people, at random moments, what they were doing and what they were thinking about. 46.9% of the time their minds were somewhere other than the moment they were in. And in those moments people were usually less happy.
Momentez does one simple thing. A few times a day, at a random moment, it asks: “What’s good right now?” You can answer with one tap or a few words. Or not answer at all. It isn’t a test or a task — just a reason to look around for a second.
We’d like your days to have more of those seconds. We don’t promise your life will change. But the good things you notice won’t slip by: they stay with you, and in the feed on your phone.

What you notice stays
Each answer settles on the day’s arc as a glint — like the ones at the top of this page. The feed keeps your words, and the summary shows only what you found: how much you noticed and at what time of day it happens most. Missed questions aren’t counted anywhere.
You can save your notes to a text file.
No ads, no internet
Momentez has no ads, no account and no subscription. No streaks you’d hate to break. The app can’t even reach the internet: your notes stay on your phone.
The whole app is free. If it has been useful to you, you can support it with any amount — only if you like. Support Momentez
