Did I helps you pause, reflect, and check in without pressure, guilt, or noise. Instead of rigid to-do lists, Did I lets you create simple check-ins like: • Did I drink water? • Did I take my medication? • Did I eat my veggies? • Did I lock the door? When it’s time, we’ll gently remind you. When you’ve done it, just tap “I did.” That’s it. No AI No streaks. No stress. No feeling behind. Features • Simple check-ins Create lightweight reminders framed as questions — not tasks. • Gentle notifications Get reminded softly, without aggressive alerts or constant buzzing. • Persistent reminders (optional) If something truly matters, enable a temporary persistent reminder that stays with you until it’s done — then automatically turns off. • Widgets, Lock Screen & Live Activity support Check in directly from your Widget, Lock Screen or Dynamic Island. • Minimal, calming design Built to feel quiet, warm, and easy to return to.
