check-d is a productivity app built around a simple idea: instead of managing what you haven't done yet, you log what you already finished. Every completed task is a win. check-d helps you capture those wins, reinforce the habit of finishing, and visualise your consistency over time. DONE-TASK LOGGING Tap the centre button and record something you completed. No categories, no priorities, no backlogs. Just wins, logged instantly. AI MOTIVATION Every logged win triggers a short AI-generated motivational response tailored to your preferred tone. Choose from encouraging, strict, or playful -- the AI adapts to how you want to be pushed. STREAK & XP TRACKING Build streaks by logging wins every day. Earn XP with every task and level up over time. Consistency is rewarded, not just output. PROGRESS DASHBOARD View your streak, XP progress, and historical activity across week, month, and year views. Tap any day in the activity heatmap to see exactly what you logged. DAILY CHECK-IN Reflect each day with three guided journal prompts -- a joyful moment, a lesson learned, and an emotional check-in. Select from curated tags or write your own thoughts. Entries are saved and editable from your history. PRIVACY FIRST check-d is built entirely on Apple CloudKit. Your data lives in your private iCloud database -- no account to create, no password to remember, no external servers. Your iCloud account is all you need. DESIGNED FOR iOS Clean, minimal SwiftUI interface with a floating tab bar, user-selectable accent colours, full light and dark mode support, and a subtle particle background that responds to your chosen theme. check-d is for anyone who wants to build consistency, celebrate progress, and stop feeling behind.
