Read full descriptionHide full description
Just Did is a reverse to-do list for people who finish a lot and still end the day wondering where the time went. Instead of writing tasks for later, you log what already happened: sent the email, took the walk, cleaned the kitchen, called your friend, made dinner, got through the hard thing. Tiny entries become a private daily journal of real progress and small wins. Use Just Did as a done list, daily journal, bullet journal companion, gratitude log, low-pressure diary, or simple habit tracker. Open it, tap +, write one line, and move on. What you can do: - Log completed moments in seconds - Add a Home Screen or Lock Screen widget, or a Control Center button, to log from anywhere - Log hands-free with Siri and Shortcuts: "Log a moment in Just Did" - Add photos when words are not enough - See your week at a glance: active days, themes you can tap into, and the words you keep coming back to - Browse days without empty entries getting in the way - Search your past moments - Generate private AI reflections from your entries - Protect the app with Face ID or Touch ID (widgets hide your moments while it is on) - Sync with iCloud and export a restorable backup Core text logging is free. Lifetime Supporter unlocks AI reflections, photo moments, search, iCloud Sync, and backup import/export. Just Did is deliberately not a planner. There are no future tasks, missed-day penalties, or guilt loops. It fits beside your notes, routines, self-care, and personal growth without turning reflection into homework. Privacy: Your journal stays on your device. No account is required. No ads. iCloud Sync uses your private iCloud account when enabled. AI reflections run on device on supported devices. https://sachetd.ca/apps/just-did/privacy Terms: https://sachetd.ca/apps/just-did/terms

Tela is a fast, private, offline-first workspace for notes, documents, and databases. Everything lives on your device - not on a server - so it opens instantly, works anywhere, and your data stays yours. Find anything in an instant: search looks across notes, documents, databases, rows and fields - and it ignores accents, so "cafe" finds "cafรฉ". Turn any list into a database with typed fields, add tappable URL links, then switch to a drag-and-drop Kanban board with colored columns. Write in the redesigned calm editor with headings, checklists and code. No account required.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Tela at every 4 weeks against Just Did's every 5 months. Tela also leads on device support (5 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
