The year
Every square is a day you showed up
One square a day, for a year. Nobody fills all 365, and you do not have to. The grid remembers for you, so you can see the shape of your own year instead of trying to recall it.
- 37.78×
- 1% better every day for a year
- 0.03×
- 1% worse every day for a year
- 365
- squares in a year. You choose how many go green.
An example year, not a real account.
How it works
Under a minute a day
If it takes longer than that, you stop doing it by week two.
Write down five things
Each morning, list the five things that would make today count.
Tick them off
One tap each, as you finish them. Add a time or a folder if you want.
Watch the grid fill in
Every day becomes a square. Green for the days you showed up.
The idea
What 1% a day adds up to
You can check the maths yourself. Here is what 1% a day does over 365 days, in both directions.
1% better, every day
1.01365 =
37.78×
1% worse, every day
0.99365 =
0.03×
Nobody can really measure 1% of a day. The point is to pick something small enough that you will still do it tomorrow. The hard part is day 40. Day 40 counts too.
Features
What else it does
Everything here is free unless we say otherwise.
The daily list
Five things. Not forty.
Five is enough for a normal day. It is also short enough to finish on a bad one, and finishing is what keeps the habit going. That is the free plan, and for most people it is the whole product. Pro lifts the limit for the days that genuinely need more room.
Tap once to tick a task. Today’s square turns greener as you go, so you can watch the day fill in.

Times and estimates
Know when your day will be done
Give a task a start time, a rough length, or both. The app adds up what is left and counts from right now. At 2pm it tells you about 2pm, not about this morning.
Times are optional. A task without one still belongs on the list. The app also tells you how many tasks it could not count, so the finish time stays honest.

Folders
See where your day actually went
Put a task in a folder. Family, work, a side project, whatever you like. You can make a new folder right there, without losing the task you were filing.
The list still looks like a list. You get a small folder mark on the row, and the folder name when you hover over it. Then Insights shows you which part of your life is getting your time.

History
A year of squares, and every task inside it
- Grey means you missed the day.
- Green means you showed up.
- Darker green means you did more.
The months line up, so every Tuesday sits in the same column. Tap any square to open that day.
Need more than colours? The Tasks tab lists everything you have ever written down, newest first. Search by word or by date to find any day again.

Streaks
A run worth protecting
Your streak is what gets you back tomorrow, so it is free. The reminders are free too. Forgetting is the main reason people stop.
Pro gives you 2 freezes a month for the days life gets in the way. Old days lock once they pass, so the number you see is always a real one.

The daily thought
Something worth passing on
Every morning you get a short line about slow progress. There are 366 of them, one for every day of the year.
Tap share and it turns into a card made for WhatsApp Status. You can send it anywhere your phone sends pictures.
It does not matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop.

Your record
It belongs to you, not to us
You are the only customer this app has, so there is nobody else it has to serve. Here is what that gets you.
You decide what is measured
We ask once whether we may count which features you use, and no means no — everything keeps working either way. We never see what you write down. Our cookie policy lists every cookie we use, and it fits on one screen.
Your data goes where you go
Download everything as CSV or JSON on any plan, free included. These are your days. You should be able to take them with you.
A history that keeps waiting
Cancel any time and nothing gets deleted. Come back in a year and every square is still there.
The daily habit, free for good
5 tasks a day, your streak and your reminders, with no card. The nudge that brings you back tomorrow should never cost money.
Opens fast on one bar
Everything loads from one place, and the app works offline once you install it. So it opens on the train and in a queue, which is when you actually use it.
A record you can trust
You can edit today and yesterday. Older days are locked. That way your grid shows how the month really went.
Where it comes from
Hundreds of tiny gains
Dave Brailsford took over British Cycling and went looking for hundreds of tiny gains. Better seats. Better tyres. Even better pillows for the riders to sleep on. The team went from losing to winning the Tour de France.
James Clear brought the same idea to habits in Atomic Habits. That is where most people first see 1.01365 = 37.78. Both say the same thing: how often you do it matters more than how big it is.
That is what this app is for. You can read more about it, see exactly what is free, or just start today’s five.
Questions
Before you start
What does getting 1% better every day mean?
Each day builds on the last, the way interest builds on savings. Get 1% better every day and you end the year 37.78 times better. You cannot really measure 1%. It just means something small enough that you will do it again tomorrow.
Where does the 1% better idea come from?
Dave Brailsford used it at British Cycling. He looked for hundreds of tiny gains, and the team went on to win the Tour de France. James Clear made the idea popular in Atomic Habits, where most people first see 1.01^365 = 37.78.
Why only five tasks a day?
Five fits a normal day. It is also short enough to finish on a bad one, and finishing is what keeps the habit going. Five is the free plan. Pro removes the limit for days that really need more room.
Is it free?
Yes. Five tasks a day, folders, times, your streak, reminders and the daily quote are all free, with no card. Pro adds your full history past 14 days, the insights drawn from it, no daily task limit, planning a year ahead, and 2 streak freezes a month.
What happens if I miss a day?
The square stays grey and your streak goes back to zero. You can still edit yesterday until midnight, so a task you finished at 11:55pm still counts for the right day even if you tick it at 12:05am. Pro gives you 2 freezes a month for the days life gets in the way.
How is this different from a to-do list?
This one keeps the record. After a few weeks the grid tells you more about your habits than the list does. You can search back months to find any day, and folders show you where your time went.
Does it work on a phone?
It is built for one. Add it to your phone from the browser and it works like an app, with the buttons under your thumb. There is nothing to download from a store.
Can I get my data out?
Any time, as CSV or JSON, on every plan including the free one. If you stop paying we hide your history, we never delete it. Come back later and all of it is still there.
