Most gratitude apps want a list of three things and that's it. Gratitude Guide asks why and forces you to answer to move on. It takes longer so you take longer. What's in the app: - Three guided entries each night, with a "what" and a "why" prompt - A moon phase breathing animation between entries to slow you down - Optional nightly reminder - Optional photo on any entry - A calendar of every night you showed up - Search across all your reflections - A streak counter that forgives missed days - Logs to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes - iCloud sync between iPhone and iPad - Export everything as CSV, JSON, or Markdown — your reflections are yours Free. No ads. No forced upgrades. One $1.99 upgrade if you want customizable breathing times. Gratitude Guide is the night app in a small ritual stack. There are two others: - Waking Words — for the start of the day - Mantra Mirror — for the middle of the day You don't have to use all three. They aren't a system. They're three small things for three different kinds of moments. Some nights it will be hard to find three things. Find three anyway.

MeBeMe interrupts your scrolling with one small opportunity to be the person you want to be. Choose the identities that matter to you—Reader, Athlete, Founder, Better Friend, Homekeeper, Lifelong Learner, and more. Draw a tiny mission card and do one small thing that expresses that identity. Every completed mission is one small vote for the person you're becoming. This app reminds you to be who you are. It also helps you step toward who you want to become. No streaks. No guilt. Just one small thing. Designed to be 100% free, forever. No subscriptions. No Pro plan. No pressure. No upsells. No memberships. No paywall. No credit card. Just one small thing that helps you become more like the person you want to be. BREAK YOUR SCROLL Most apps interrupt your day to pull you back in. MeBeMe does the opposite. Choose the apps you reach for out of habit, and MeBeMe holds them back until you've done one small thing: read two pages, do four push-ups, send one thoughtful message. Then they open for as long as you choose, from an hour to the rest of the day. "Open anyway" is always there, so nothing locks you out. It's off until you turn it on. (iPhone only.) MeBeMe can also send optional notifications. Instead of another ping asking you to check your phone, you get a tiny invitation to do something actually worth doing. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose your identities. 2. Swipe between them. 3. Draw a random mission card. Most missions take between 10 seconds and 2 minutes, making them easy to do right now instead of "someday." * Complete one small action. * Repeat whenever it feels right. EXAMPLE MISSIONS * Read at least 2 pages. * Do at least 4 push-ups. * Put away at least 7 things. * Walk outside for at least 60 seconds. * Learn one new word. * Send a thoughtful message. * Stretch for 30 seconds. * Save one memorable quote. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT This app isn't trying to make you more productive. It's trying to help you live more deliberately. No streaks. No badges. This isn't a game. It helps you cast small daily votes for the person you want to become. One card. One action. Then get on with your day. FEATURES * Identity-based mission cards * Hundreds of curated missions * Randomized draws for variety * Tiny actions you can do immediately * Break Your Scroll: hold back the apps you choose until you've done one small thing * Optional notifications * Works offline * No account required * Private by default * No ads * No subscriptions * Free forever PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your information stays on your device. No account is required. No advertising. Designed to respect your privacy from the start. OUR PHILOSOPHY Goals eventually end. Identity lasts. Don't focus on reading ten books. Become a reader. Don't focus on losing twenty pounds. Become someone who takes care of their body. Small actions, repeated over time, shape who we become. Draw a card. Do one small thing.
