Life Progress Journal
Read full descriptionHide full description
Life Progress shows you where you are β in today, in this week, in this year, and in your life β and lets you leave a mark on the way through. Most progress apps stop at the bar. This one lets you plant a flag: how the moment feels, what you're doing, one line about it. Those marks tint your life grid, so "how has this year actually gone" becomes something you can see instead of something you guess. NOW The day fills in hour by hour. Because you've told it when you sleep, it doesn't just count the hours left β it tells you how many of them are actually yours. Days left this year, weekends left this year, and where you stand in the week and the month. YOUR LIFE One cell per year, ten to a row, so every row is a decade. Label the rows by age or by calendar year. Open a year to see its months, open a month to see its days. Any day will hold a note β a look back if it has passed, a plan if it hasn't. MILESTONES Give one an age and it lands on your timeline. Leave the age out and it becomes something you want to do, with a box to tick the day you do it. TIME BUDGET Set your bedtime and wake-up, then adjust where the rest of your hours go β and add your own categories for the things only you spend time on. See what each costs you across a whole life, and how much free time is left in yours. LOOKING BACK Averages, trend, your most common activity, the time of day you tend to feel best. Seven days, or thirty. MARKING One tap. Pick how you feel, add what you're doing and a line if you want. Build your own states and activities when the presets don't fit. Skip any of it. Nothing to configure, nothing to maintain. QUIET BY DESIGN No account, no sign-up, no server. Nothing you write leaves your device β which also means we can't read it. It never asks for your location, camera, contacts, photos, or notifications. Dark, warm light, or pure light. Erase everything in one step whenever you want.
