Superday

Read full description

Superday is a quiet 5-minute evening ritual that turns the mental weight of your day into calm, structured reflection. Built on proven CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) techniques, it guides you through one gentle prompt at a time — no blank page, no pressure to write an essay. Every night, move through six small steps: • MIT (Most Important Thing) — set one simple goal for tomorrow, and check off yesterday's win • Cognitive Reframing — catch a heavy thought and find a more balanced view, guided by 10+ CBT distortion templates • Keep — notice one behavior worth carrying forward • Let Go — gently acknowledge a habit that didn't serve you • Three Good Things — a validated positive-psychology practice for lasting well-being • Emotion Trash Can — write down a worry, then actively discard it. Studies show that releasing a negative thought on paper loosens its grip Why people return to Superday: QUIET BY DESIGN Short character limits keep each entry honest and finishable in minutes. Reflection isn't homework — it's a pause before sleep. SEE YOUR GROWTH The home screen surfaces past reframes, wins, and gratitudes so your progress becomes visible over time. Build a streak that rewards showing up, not perfection. PRIVATE & SAFE Your reflections are yours alone. The Emotion Trash Can is never saved to any database — what you release truly disappears. GENTLE REMINDERS A nightly nudge helps the habit stick. No streaks-shaming, no guilt — just a soft invitation to return. FREE TO START The full six-step evening review is free, forever. Upgrade to Superday Pro for cloud sync across devices, search and filter your full history, an unlimited Emotion Trash Can, custom reminder times, beautiful color themes, and weekly growth insights. End your day in peace. Reflect, reframe, and let go — five quiet minutes at a time.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Superday at none against Motivation's shown. Superday also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Motivation's advantage is chart position (#20 vs unranked) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
