What have I done all day? We all ask it sometimes. Did It is a calm, judgement free space to record the things you did and the things you noticed today. However small. However ordinary. However fleeting. Some days that clarity alone, knowing what you actually did, makes all the difference. Some days the win is finishing a project. Some days the win is getting out of bed. Both count. With Did It you can: • Add a quick line, a photo, or a sketch • Personalise each entry with icons and colours • Import completed Reminders, or add something with Siri • Get a gentle recap reminder at the end of the day • Skip empty days when you swipe, if you'd rather not land on a blank one • Scroll back through your week, or search, to remind yourself of each and every win • Use it on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with optional iCloud sync No Did It account. No tracking. Works offline. What you record stays on your devices, and in your iCloud if you turn on sync. No tasks for tomorrow. Just a celebration of today. No history of things left undone, only a history full of your wins. Research shows that recognising and recording daily wins can improve motivation and wellbeing. When we notice what we have done, not just what we have not, our perspective changes. Each day begins empty, and you fill it with what happened. Little wins. Big wins. Everyday wins. Did It isn't a to-do list. It's your woohoo list. Start noticing what you did today.
