Interesting concept, looking forward to see where it goes
The idea has a lot of potential. Each day, you get a new thought to ponder. Some are long, others are direct, but they all serve a purpose. The app is in early stages of development, so I have come across some bugs or quirks. It’s definitely worth checking out, if only to follow development out of curiosity for what it may turn into. However, I have enjoyed it so far and only takes a couple minutes each day, at most.

Nothing new
Nice app except the text is hard to read because of low contrast and the thoughts just recycle. There are only about 5 different ones.
Update: scrolling is now broken in the app.

Please email us at hi@onegoodthing.space with your concerns or use the report a bug option in the app for us to dive deeper on the issues you're facing. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Both issues, the contrast and the repeated thoughts, are fixed in the latest update. Every time you open the app now, you'll find something you haven't seen before.

Loving it
Thoughtful app that gives daily insights in a non-pressuring way. Looks nice and feels nice.
Amazing
The user interface, design, and concept of this app have been very well planned. The daily card is thought-provoking and always inspires me to write. The developer is attentive and helps if there's any issue. I just hope this app continues to be available. I look forward to it every day.
I actually look forward to checking it every day
Each daily thoughts was exactly what I needed that day. Many of them helped me get clarity on what I was working through. :) I think this is the first daily thoughts kind of app I integrate into my routine.
Awesome Start of my Day
This thoughtful and thought provoking app is now part of my morning routine. This has been both interesting while reading the daily entry but also I think of what I have read through my hectic day.
Especially last Monday:
“Nobody questions the busy person. Busy is the only socially acceptable addiction. It comes with praise, not intervention. But busyness is sometimes a fortress. If every hour is scheduled, there is no time for the thoughts that arrive in the gaps. No time to sit with the marriage. No time to feel the grief. No time to notice the distance between the life you are living and the life you want. The question is not whether you are productive. The question is what would surface if you stopped.”
Highly recommended!
Huge props to the developer and thank you!

Bait and switch
Promises to be free but then after a few days of use demands that you give them your email to set up an account I already said multiple times I didn’t want. My privacy is worth more to me than any value this app provides.
[Update] In response to the dev comment below, if I had wanted to have an account, I would have accepted the previous offers to set one up. For a week I had an option to decide whether I need any of the extra features (I don’t) but after a week I can’t be trusted with my choice and my access to the app is blocked unless I set up an account. Classic bait and switch. Don’t fall for it.

Response from developer
Thanks for sharing this. We understand where you’re coming from, and we’re sorry the experience felt frustrating. One Good Thing is free to use, but an email address is required so your collection can be saved securely to your account. This lets you keep your history if you reinstall the app, switch devices, or get a new phone. We only ask for what’s needed to make that work, and we take privacy seriously.
A gentle presence
It‘s a lovely gentle thoughtful start to the day - the opportunity to receive a thought and give it some consideration, or not. You are free to choose, to carry to respond or to ignore.
Inspirational
It’s a simple concept but it works. I have saved all the daily thoughts I came across so far!
A Moment of Respite
I grabbed this off of one of Reddit thinking nothing of it initially, but I make sure to check it every day now because while I’m reading the thought, it truly helps to clear the clutter that my brain puts me through all day long, even if only for a minute or two. I cannot recommend this app more than I already do.

My first card stuck with me
I wasn't expecting the very first card to catch my attention like it did. This app is amazing! So simple, yet profound! I love this app!
Love it!!
I’ve been using One Good Thing for a bit now and I actually really like it. It’s super simple, but it kinda makes you slow down and notice something good in your day, which is nice.
The app is really easy to use and not complicated at all, so it doesn’t feel like a chore to keep up with. I’ve been using it pretty regularly and it’s honestly become a small part of my routine.
If you want something chill that helps you stay a little more positive, I’d say it’s definitely worth checking out.

Fabulous App!
So simple and I love that you can let a thought go or carry it. Simple, minimalistic, and provokes thought - definitely try it out!
This one is so awesome !
It’s a quality app. So beautifully designed. Amazing work
Great concept, looking forward to more!
Really like the idea. One thought a day, no noise, no clutter. The collection feature where you can see everything you've carried is a nice touch. Would love to see it on iPad eventually. Worth trying if you want something quieter in your morning routine.
Great app for daily reflection
Wow! This app helps you learn something new every day and reflect on it. It’s a great way to start or end the day. I recommend it.
Minimalistic & Pretty app
The prompts are thought provoking and makes you reflect. This would be great for people that want to do more deep reflection but don’t know where to start.
Great
Great way to start the day or end the night with food for thought
