Inspired by the end-of-day ritual some families practice—parents asking kids "So, how was your day?" at the dinner table and perhaps also serving as a kind of journal for the time-strained modern individual—Alex Fuller and Jessa Brinkmeyer created the new Highs & Lows iOS app. It allows users to reflect on the day's events, wins, and losses and record their causes. The app pulls out two simple high and low points that sum up day. Over time, say after a month, one can look back and see if there is a pattern to the predominance of ups and downs. And naturally, one can share app entries via Facebook or Twitter—delivering a more balanced recap of one's day rather than just the major highlights and lowlights we normally share.
