Your whole year fits on one screen. A simple grid of dots. See how short it is. That's your year - 365 dots, each one a day you get exactly once. Present Day is not a habit tracker. It's not a journal. It's just proof you showed up. -- HOW IT WORKS Each day gets one question: did you show up? If yes, tap the dot. It's yours. Set your pillars - the 2 or 3 things that make a day count. Physical health. Family time. Deep work. Creative practice. Whatever "showing up" means for you. Check in on them. That's it. -- FOCUS SESSIONS Start a focus session and watch dots fall like sand through an hourglass - each one a minute of deep work, claimed. Built on the Pomodoro method, but it feels like presence, not a countdown. Choose your duration (5, 15, 25, 40, or 60 minutes), pick your pillar, set an intention, and begin. -- YOUR YEAR ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Put your year where you can't ignore it. Multiple widget sizes fit any home screen layout. Lock screen widgets keep the grid visible without even unlocking. Night mode dims everything down for late check-ins. Watch it fill, week by week. -- DESIGNED FOR PRESENCE 365-dot year grid - your whole year at once Daily pillar check-in - show up on your terms Focus sessions with hourglass animation Widgets in multiple sizes for home screen and lock screen Night mode for late-night glances Themes: Midnight, Paper, Ocean, Sunset, Cyber, and make your own Customizable dot shapes and styles No social features. No streaks to break. No guilt. Just you and your year. -- Present Day won't remind you to drink water. It won't gamify your morning routine. It just asks one thing: were you here today?
