The idea of "TinyDay" is to summarize the minutiae of life and form a diary. Do you remember what you ate last week, how many cups of coffee you had this month, how many times you've been to the movies this year? Sometimes I want to keep a diary to help me remember the past, but after a few days, always give up because of trouble. "TinyDay" helps you to keep a diary via Check-In. Unlike traditional diary software, we encourage you to record your life by Check-In anytime and anywhere. Whether it's drinking coffee, eating, watching an exhibition , seeing a stray cat, or having a small emotion, you can record it. Someday in the future, when you recall these life moments, you will be glad that you have recorded Besides, we think that keeping a diary is very similar to keeping a book, so "TinyDay" also provides the function of bookkeeping.

Both are free to download. TinyDay sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and SimpleHabit sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SimpleHabit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of TinyDay's written reviews are positive against 93% of SimpleHabit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TinyDay ships an update weekly, SimpleHabit every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
