Good Deeds Tracker LIVE
Science-backed kindness tracking for a healthier, happier life. Build lasting positive habits with the world's most private altruism tool.
Kindness isn't just a moral choice—it's a biological advantage. Good Deeds Tracker is a friction-free application designed to help you harness the proven health benefits of altruism, backed by peer-reviewed research in neuroscience and behavioral psychology.
The Altruism Advantage
Helping others is one of the most effective ways to help yourself. Scientific studies have identified a "Helper's High"—a measurable physiological state triggered by prosocial behavior.
- Boost Your Immune System: Prosocial interventions are associated with significant improvements in health outcomes, including lower markers of inflammation (C-reactive protein) and improved immune competence.
- Reduce Anxiety and Depression: A 2023 meta-analysis showed that gratitude and kindness interventions can reduce symptoms of anxiety by up to 7.76% and depression by 6.89%.
- Live Longer: Meta-analytic research (Okun et al., 2013) found that regular volunteering reduces mortality risk by an average of 47%.
- The Multiplier Effect: Recipients of kindness are 278% more likely to "pay it forward," creating a ripple effect of prosocial behavior in your community.
Beyond the 21-Day Myth
Most habit-building advice relies on outdated myths. Science tells a different story.
Research from University College London demonstrates that forming a new habit takes an average of 66 days to reach automaticity. Good Deeds Tracker is built to support you through this entire window, focusing on consistency over perfection.
The Neuroscience of the Streak
When you track your progress, your brain's reward system—the mesolimbic circuit—releases dopamine during the anticipation of completing your daily goal. This reinforcement strengthens the neural pathways in the basal ganglia, making kindness an automatic part of your daily routine.
