Cookie Jar enables users to stockpile memories and journal the exciting parts of life. It’s a place for all your favorite mixed media—photos, music, voice memos, and quotes—to view in times of need. Instead of shuffling a music playlist, a user can shuffle all of their media, (cookies) from a specifically sorted list (jar). The variable reward associated with a surprise personal ‘cookie’ will hopefully give a user a quick boost in order to genuinely feel better. It’s a type of ‘anti-social’ social media, because the only person you are trying to impress is yourself. The concept is based on cognitive behavioral therapy—change your thoughts, change your mood. The goal of the application is to help combat negative thinking.
