About

First Thingy

Most productivity apps give you more ways to make longer lists. One Thing gives you one task. Set the one thing that matters most right now. Work on it. When you're done, mark it complete. If you give up, you have to say why โ€” in your own words, saved permanently. That's it. Why only one task? Because you can only do one thing at a time anyway. The list is the lie. One Thing removes the lie. Why must you explain yourself? Because excuses are easy when no one is watching. One Thing is watching. Not to judge โ€” to help you see the patterns you hide from yourself. The Honest Record Every task you've set, completed, or abandoned lives here. No editing. No deleting. Just the truth about how you spend your time and attention. Features: โ€ข Set one active task at a time โ€” enforced โ€ข Abandoning requires a written explanation โ€ข Permanent honest record of all your tasks โ€ข Daily reminder at a time you choose โ€ข Light and dark mode โ€ข No account needed, no cloud sync, no tracking Your data stays on your device. Always.

YayMe helps you keep track of tasks, celebrate your accomplishments (especially the small daily wins) and build unstoppable momentum. Most productivity apps focus on what you haven't done yet. YayMe flips the script โ€” it's built around what you DID accomplish and helping you accomplish more. Every completed task becomes a "win," logged and celebrated so you can see your progress clearly and feel great about it. KEY FEATURES Daily Task and Accomplishment (aka "Win") Tracking Add tasks (including sub-tasks), complete them, and watch them transform into daily wins. YayMe uses AI to reframe your completed tasks into celebration-worthy wins โ€” "Walk the dog" becomes "Walked the dog." Small shift, big difference. Recurring Tasks Set up one-time or recurring tasks (daily, weekly, monthly) that automatically appear on the right days โ€” no manual re-entry needed. Set custom reminders if needed. A Dedicated "Hype Squad" Tap on the "Hype Squad" box for a more detailed personalized read on your week: what you've crushed, patterns in your work, and smart suggestions for what to tackle next. Click "Celebrate" for a fun surprise to help you celebrate your wins and put a smile on your face. Accomplishment History Browse a full log of your wins organized by week. A living record of everything you've achieved. Export win data as you like to use elsewhere too. Offline Functionality Keep adding tasks and tracking wins even when you don't have internet connectivity and YayMe will sync your online and offline data automatically. Whether you're chasing big goals or just trying to end each day feeling good about it โ€” YayMe is your daily motivation and celebration partner. Download YayMe and start winning today.
