Start by Noticing
Learn the basic move first — catch a moment while it is still happening. No heavy lifting yet, just reps.

- Notice When You're Here
108Moments
Notice the good that's already here.
A daily practice you wear. One theme a week, one bead at a time, all 108 by the end of the week. The beads do the counting so your phone can stay quiet.
Coming soon to iPhone and Android.
Just scanned the code on your necklace?
You are in the right place. The necklace in your hand is the tracker — 108 beads, one for each time you catch yourself this week. This page explains what to do with it, and the app is the part that tells you what to look for each day.
What it is
The necklace does the counting. Your phone stays in your pocket.
Most habit apps ask you to report back to them. This one does the opposite. You get one clear thing to watch for each week, and then you go live your day — and every time you notice it happening, you move a single bead with your thumb. By the end of the week you have gone all the way around: 108 moments you would otherwise have walked straight past.
One week
One theme. 108 beads. Seven days.
A week is one full trip around the necklace. Finish early and the extra days are yours; run long and the week waits for you.
One morning
A sentence, and 1:08 of audio.
Sixty-eight seconds on why today's focus matters and what it looks like in real life. Then the app gets out of the way until tomorrow.
How it works
Four steps, and three of them take seconds
- 01
Open it in the morning
One sentence, one theme for the week. That is the whole ask — most mornings it takes under a minute.
- 02
Listen for 1:08
A short recording on why today matters and what to watch for. Long enough to land, short enough that you actually press play.
- 03
Move a bead when it happens
Caught yourself doing the thing? Slide one bead. No phone, no tapping, no logging. Your hand keeps the count.
- 04
Close the week at 108
One full trip around the necklace is one week. Come back Monday and a new theme is waiting.
What you practice
Twelve weeks, in an order that was chosen carefully
One theme per week, each turned into something small and specific you can catch yourself doing. Most programs like this start with you. This one starts with everyone else — being generous toward other people is a much easier place to begin, and it makes the weeks about yourself land better when they come.
For Others
Point the practice at other people first. Warmth is easier to find when it is not about you yet.
- Wish People Well
- Assume the Best
- Be Happy for People
- Let People Be
For Yourself
Same moves, new target: you. By now the move is familiar, which is exactly why this comes fourth and not first.
- Talk to Yourself Like a Friend
- Cut Yourself Some Slack
- Give Yourself Credit
- Let It Be
For Everyone
Take it past your own circle — strangers, crowds, the whole world. The last day closes the circle and puts you back inside it.
- Everyone's Carrying Something
- Wish the World Well
After week twelve the app suggests a theme a week from the rotation shelf — and you can always pick your own.
Fair warning
What it deliberately isn't
Not a bead counter
The app never asks you to tap 108 times. That is what the necklace is for.
Not a guilt machine
Miss a day and nothing turns red. You can backfill yesterday and carry on.
Not a time commitment
A minute in the morning. The longer guided practice is there, and it is optional.
Not mystical
Plain English throughout. If a word would make you roll your eyes, it is not in there.
Why 108
An old number, kept for a practical reason
Strings of 108 beads have been used for a very long time, across a lot of different traditions. We kept the count because it happens to be the right size for a week: big enough that finishing means something, small enough that an ordinary person having an ordinary week can actually get there. That works out to roughly fifteen a day — but it is a soft aim, never a daily quota. You will be surprised how often you already had the moment and simply did not mark it.
Questions
The ones people actually ask
Do I need the necklace to use the app?
No. The app works on its own and you can tap a bead on screen instead. The necklace just makes the count something you feel rather than something you manage.
Is this a meditation app?
Not really. There is an optional five-to-ten minute guided practice each day if you want it, but the core of it is a single idea you carry into an ordinary day. Most people never open the long audio.
Is it religious?
No. The 108-bead necklace comes from a very old tradition and we kept the shape because it works. The language inside is plain English about attention, habits and how you treat people.
How much time does it take?
About a minute in the morning. Everything past that is optional.
What if I miss a day?
Then you missed a day. You can fill in yesterday when you open it, the week stretches to fit, and nothing scolds you. The practice is the point, not the record.
Does it work without signal?
Yes. The weekly content and audio are stored on your phone, so a plane, a trail or a dead zone changes nothing.
