About

Now here’s the kinda funky part: the “thank yous” are always anonymous. While anonymous thanking might seem weird at first, we think it frees people up to say “thank you” in all sorts of situations where they otherwise might not. Think of it as a new way to say thank you, not a replacement for all the other ways we say it.

We think that giving thanks without taking credit is beautiful. Most folks almost instinctively shrug off “thank yous” with “it’s nothing,” or “don’t mention it,” as if accepting the thanks would be self-indulgent or undeserved. We wanted to create a really simple way to say thanks that’s easy to give but not quite so easy to shrug off.

The more easily people can say “thank you,” the more they will feel thankful. And the more that happens, the happier we all are. So go ahead, acknowledge someone’s kindness, generosity, or general fabulousness. We’re all in this together after all.
Here's what the email looks like.

Oh yeah, you can post your thanks too. This is good for when you don’t have somebody’s email address or you are just feeling grateful for something like cold grapes or keyless door locks. This can be anonymous too or you can sign up for an account and include your name.
