Constantly staring at endless to-do lists, seeing only what's still unfinished creates a lot of stress. Reflectured turns it around: note everything you’ve already done, whether big or small. It’s a Done List. Build yourself a positive routine that shows you what you’ve accomplished. With tags, mood tracker, reminders & templates. Gain more motivation, focus, and the good feeling of having achieved more than you thought. Help yourself reduce stress. What you can do with Reflectured: • Log activities — from “Made the bed” and “Went for a walk” to “Reached a project milestone.” Everything counts. • Add tags — organize entries with custom tags like #friends, #home, or #work. Find what matters faster. • Track your mood — note how you feel each day and see your emotional trends over time. • View your journey — get overviews by time period, tags, or moods. Spot patterns and growth. • Achievements & quotes — stay motivated with awards and daily inspiration. • Set reminders — customize when you want to reflect, so journaling becomes a habit. • Use activity templates — create templates (e.g., “Household”) to log recurring tasks quickly. Why it works: • Focus on the positive — see what you did accomplish, not just what’s left on a to-do list. • Personal & realistic — success is relative. For one person “Got out of bed” is huge, for another “Completed a workout.” Both count. • Less pressure — focus on what you can control and acknowledge progress. • Gentle routine building — just a few minutes of reflection in the evening can make a lasting difference. Reflectured can support you if you’re dealing with depression, burnout, or ADHD, by helping you view your daily life — and yourself — in a more positive way. (Note: Reflectured is a supportive tool. It is not a substitute for professional therapy.) Perfect for anyone who… • often feels they didn’t do enough • wants to boost self-worth & motivation • struggles with traditional to-do lists and wants to see more positives • wants to track mood alongside daily progress • wants to celebrate small wins and make growth visible “When in doubt, don’t look at the peak of the mountain. Look back into the valley to see how far you’ve already come.” Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
