Did5 helps you focus on what matters by tracking just 5 things each day. SIMPLE BY DESIGN Most habit trackers overwhelm you with features. Did5 does one thing well: asks you 5 questions at the end of each day. Did you work out? Did you study? Did you work on your side project? Answer yes or no, that's it. VISUAL PROGRESS See your consistency at a glance with a color-coded calendar. The more you complete, the darker the green. Watch your calendar fill up as you build momentum. MADE FOR ADHD Built by someone with ADHD who was frustrated by overcomplicated productivity apps. No complex features, no subscription traps, no overwhelm. Just a simple tool that respects your attention. FEATURES - Choose your own 5 daily questions - Quick yes/no check-ins - Calendar view of your progress - Edit past entries if you forget - Soft, calming color scheme - Optional daily reminder notifications - Free forever WHY ONLY 5 THINGS? Focusing on too many goals leads to burnout. Five is the sweet spot - enough to make progress, few enough to actually remember. Do these 5 things consistently, and you'll get where you want to be. PRIVACY FIRST All your data stays on your device. No account required. No tracking. No analytics. Optional donations support development, but the app is completely free to use forever.
