What is a happy stone?
A little gift that keeps travelling
Every stone has a unique ID, so its whole journey stays visible, from your garden to a holiday abroad.
For makers
Paint a stone that makes you smile. Register it and it gets its own ID and journey page.
For finders
Found a painted stone? Enter its ID and see where it came from. Then hide it again.
For families
One family account, everyone their own stones. From painting to finding: an outing for every age.
How it works
From paintbrush to world tour in three steps
1
Paint it & add it
Add a new stone in the app with a photo and a name. Your stone gets a unique ID, for example 7F2K. Write that on the back.
2
Leave it somewhere
Put it down in a nice spot and log that GPS location by tapping "Place stone". Its status turns to placed and it appears on the map.
3
Follow the journey
Whoever finds it enters the ID and taps "Report the find". You get a notification and see every new stop on your stone’s journey page.
