Yagyesh Bobde

Founder, Grateful'

Founder of Grateful'. Writes the site's research glossary from primary sources — no clinical qualifications claimed; every psychological claim on the site links to the study behind it.

## What I do claim

I build [Grateful'](/en-GB), a gratitude journal for iOS, and I write everything published here — the [blog](/en-GB/blog), the [research glossary](/en-GB/glossary) and the [prompt packs](/en-GB/prompts). The experience behind the writing is a developer's: I read the primary literature on gratitude, memory and mood because I have to decide what the app should actually do with it, and then I write down what the papers say.

## What I don't claim

I am not a psychologist, therapist or clinician, and nothing here is treatment advice. Where a study is small, old or contested, the page says so instead of turning it into a promise. If you are dealing with something serious, talk to a professional — an app that asks you to write down three good things is not a substitute for one.

## How a page gets written

The standard the glossary is held to, and the reason the pages read the way they do:

*   Every glossary entry links to at least one real, findable study. Citations are checked against PubMed or the publisher's own DOI record before the page is published — never written from memory, which is how plausible-sounding references that do not exist get published.
*   Findings are described without overstating the evidence the paper provides. A single lab experiment is introduced as a single lab experiment.
*   Definitions are one sentence. If a term needs three sentences to define, the entry is wrong about what the term means.
*   Pages carry the date they were published and the date they were last reviewed, so you can see how out of date what you are reading is.
*   Nothing about your journal entries feeds into any of this. What the app stores is set out in the [privacy policy](/en-GB/privacy-policy).

## Corrections

If a citation on this site is wrong, misattributed or overstates what a paper found, I want to know and I will fix the page. Email [contact@bobdeyagyesh.in](mailto:contact@bobdeyagyesh.in) with the page and the problem. Corrections change the review date on the page.

## The app

Grateful' is free on iOS. It asks for three good things a day, keeps them private to your account, and is built around the research the glossary describes — [three good things](/en-GB/glossary/three-good-things), [the peak-end rule](/en-GB/glossary/peak-end-rule) and [negativity bias](/en-GB/glossary/negativity-bias).
