OneThing
Read full descriptionHide full description
Most productivity apps overwhelm you: tasks, projects, dashboards, notifications fighting for attention. One Thing goes the opposite way. You choose exactly ONE goal that matters to you β read 20 pages, run 2 km, meditate 10 minutes, write 500 words β and you check in every single day. The streak counts. The streak motivates. One day at a time. HOW IT WORKS β’ Set your one thing β give it a name in seconds, change it anytime. β’ Check in daily β one tap. Add a short note if you like. β’ Watch your streak grow β the number keeps you honest. β’ Share your progress β generate a beautiful share card with your day count, your goal, and a QR code friends can scan to download. β’ Get reminded before you break the chain β a local daily notification warns you when your streak is at risk. Check in, and today's reminder is skipped automatically. The app-icon badge shows the days at stake and clears the moment you check in. β’ Your data stays yours β everything is stored locally on your device. No account, no sign-up, no server, works fully offline. WHY ONE THING β’ Zero clutter: one screen, one number, one tap a day. β’ Honest design: no gamified noise, no social pressure β just you and the streak. β’ A tip jar, not a paywall: One Thing is free; an optional one-time tip supports development and unlocks nothing. A HISTORY OF STEADY IMPROVEMENT β’ v1.3.0 β Real daily "streak at risk" reminders, delivered right on time. β’ v1.3.4 β Reminder engine rebuilt as a 30-day rolling window: notifications keep working for weeks even if you never reopen the app. Streak-count app badge added. β’ v1.3.5 β Badge handling rewritten to talk to iOS directly: check in, badge gone. Instantly and reliably. β’ v1.3.6 β New home at dch.ltd (share-card QR code, support email, legal pages) and a greatly expanded FAQ, including a note on a known iOS photo-picker issue when choosing screenshots. One goal. One streak. Every day. Made with care by Dream Collection Hall LLC. Website: https://dch.ltd Β· Support: support@dch.ltd
