What I Did is the opposite of a to-do list. Instead of tracking what you have to do, you log only what you actually accomplished each day. Every entry is a small win. [Why this is different] Traditional to-do apps track tasks you must do. When the day ends with half the list undone, you feel guilty and lose motivation. The list itself becomes a source of stress, not a tool. What I Did flips the script. You only log what you ACTUALLY DID. Every entry is a small win. Every screen is a record of accomplishment, not a punch list of unfinished work. Looking back at past days feels good, not stressful. There are no deadlines, no priorities, no "incomplete" status to nag you. The app cannot judge you. It only remembers what you got done. [Who this is for] - Anyone who feels burned out by traditional to-do apps - Students who want to track what they actually studied each day - Freelancers and remote workers who need a record of what they shipped, for billing or self-review - Parents managing the invisible work of running a household - Anyone in recovery, therapy, or rebuilding their routine — small wins matter - People who want to look back at the end of a week, month, or year and remember what they actually did with their time [How it works] - Pick a date on the calendar - Tap "+" to log what you did, in one line - Add an optional memo if you want more detail - Browse past days to see everything you have done - Get a daily reminder at a time you choose, so you remember to log [A daily ritual that takes 2 minutes] The app is built around a simple evening (or morning) habit. Right before bed, or right after coffee, open the app and log what you did. That's it. Two or three lines. After a week you have a complete picture of where your time went. After a month you have proof of how much you actually got done — even on days that felt unproductive. [What you can capture] - Work tasks shipped, problems solved, meetings held - Things studied, books read, exercises completed - Errands run, household tasks finished, meals cooked - Conversations had, emails sent, decisions made - Moments of rest, walks taken, time with family - Anything you want to remember a year from now [Key features] - Calendar view to navigate by date with at-a-glance counts per day - Quick add, edit, swipe to delete - Optional memo field for additional context - Korean and English language support, switch any time without restart - Daily reminder notifications at a time you choose - Sign in with Apple, Google, Kakao, Naver, or email - Account deletion in Settings, with all your records permanently removed [Privacy & ads] Activity records are stored on our backend, tied only to your account. Email and provider account IDs are stored for authentication. The app shows ads via Google AdMob, and the App Tracking Transparency prompt is requested for ad personalization only. We do not sell your personal data to third parties. Account deletion in Settings removes all of your records permanently — no questions asked. --- Stop tracking what you have to do. Start remembering what you got done.

See the time, hear your next step, walk out the door on time. Cuebird turns any routine (morning, lunch break, bedtime) into small, timed, color-coded steps and moves you through them automatically. Built for neurodivergent adults. Kind to every brain. HOUSEHOLDS Link the people you live with into a household. Start a routine and everyone gets a gentle offer to jump in, landing where you already are, not back at step one. Joining is one tap, and sitting one out is free: nobody is ever told either way. Be in more than one household at once, your own and the one at your mum's, and every routine says which one it came from. It is all end-to-end encrypted. DO IT TOGETHER In the same room, run a routine in step. Everyone starts on a shared 3, 2, 1, and pause, skip, or a minute back move for the whole group at once, so nobody is left behind. Near each other it is instant. Apart, it stays in sync across your household. Want your own timing? One tap, and your routine keeps going on its own. INVITE BY TEXT, OR BY QR Send someone a link. They tap it and they are in, even if your phone is closed. Together in person? Show the code on your screen for them to scan. Either way, one tap and they are in the household. TIME YOU CAN SEE While a routine runs, the whole screen becomes the current step's color. From across the room, mid-shower, without reading: blue means shower, amber means coffee. A color bar of the steps shows the shape of your time before you start. OUT THE DOOR ON TIME Set when a routine starts and when you have to be done. Cuebird shows the window, adds up your steps, and tells you plainly whether they fit. Running late? One control compresses the routine so you still walk out on time. HEAR YOUR NEXT STEP A chime marks every transition, or let Cuebird speak: "Next: Shower, 10 minutes." A 30-second heads-up warns before longer steps end. Prefer quiet? Silent mode keeps it to haptics. You can also record any step in your own voice. Recordings stay on your device and never sync. REAL ALARMS, NOT NOTIFICATIONS Give a routine a start time and days, and it rings with the system's full-screen alarm: through silent mode, through Focus, even with the app closed. Tap Start and you are already in it. BUILT THE WAY YOUR WEEK ACTUALLY WORKS One routine can ring at several times, each with its own days: weekdays at 7:00, weekends at 9:00. Your list sorts itself around today, and the Schedule view shows everything that will ring this week. IT LEARNS YOUR REAL TIMING Cuebird records every run and shows how long your routine ACTUALLY takes versus what you planned: "Morning really takes 42 minutes, not 35." Then it updates your plan with one tap. STARTING IS ONE TAP Every routine has a play button right on its card, no menus between you and momentum. For the times you do not need a whole routine, Quick Timer and Ring Me At are one tap away. NO SHAME BUILT IN Pause says "no rush." Skipping is a first-class button, and if you skip by mistake you can undo it. Need a minute back? Take one. Finishing celebrates every run, and one missed day never breaks your streak. That is what the habit-formation research actually says. Cuebird never scolds you. EVERYWHERE YOU NEED IT - Lock Screen and Dynamic Island Live Activity: glance without opening the app - Home Screen widget: start a routine in one tap - Apple Watch: your step and countdown on your wrist; pause, resume or skip from there - Siri and Shortcuts: "Start Morning in Cuebird," or run routines from your automations - Mac: runs on Apple silicon Macs too ONE PURCHASE COVERS YOUR FAMILY Family Sharing is on, so up to six family members get it with one purchase. You can also send any routine as a link, ready for their own times. ONE-TIME PURCHASE Buy it once. No subscription, no ads, no accounts, no analytics, no data collection. Your own routines sync through your private iCloud, no login ever. Households stay end-to-end encrypted, and Cuebird has no servers and cannot read any of it.
