Done is the daily micro-win journal that takes 3 seconds to log, builds real momentum, and rewires your brain to notice the good stuff. No pressure. No judgement. Just you and your wins.
How it works
No complex forms. No habit matrices. Just one question answered in seconds — with an optional mood check-in if you want the data.
What went right today? Big or tiny — finishing a report or drinking a glass of water both count equally.
Pick an emoji. Type a line. Hit log. The whole thing takes less time than unlocking your phone.
Your archive of wins grows. Your streak climbs. Your brain starts looking for wins throughout the day.
The science
Decades of research in positive psychology and neuroscience back up what Done is built on.
Acknowledging a small win triggers the same reward pathway as a large achievement. Harvard neuroscientist Teresa Amabile calls this the "progress principle" — small wins have an outsized positive effect on inner work life.
Amabile & Kramer, 2011 — Harvard Business ReviewParticipants in Seligman's landmark study who wrote down three good things each day for just two weeks reported significantly higher wellbeing — and the effect persisted for six months after the study ended.
Seligman et al., 2005 — American PsychologistPhillippa Lally's UCL research found the average time to make a new behaviour automatic is 66 days — not the myth of 21. Done's streak system is built around this window, giving you visible progress exactly when motivation dips.
Lally et al., 2010 — European Journal of Social PsychologyGratitude journaling for as few as five minutes a day measurably reduces cortisol (your stress hormone) and increases self-reported resilience. The key finding: brevity doesn't reduce effectiveness — it increases consistency.

Done strips journaling down to its essential core. No feature creep. No bloat.
See consecutive days logged stack up. Miss a day and the streak resets — the honest accountability system that actually motivates.
Your last 30 days of wins are always free. Scroll back on a bad day — it's instant evidence that you're doing better than you think.
Tag each win with an emoji that captures the mood. Your archive becomes a colourful, scannable timeline of moments.
No social feed. No sharing. No comparing. Your wins are private and securely synced to your account. Done is a journal, not a performance.
Set a daily nudge at your perfect time. Done notifies you gently, never nagging — just a quiet "hey, anything good happen today?"
Unlock the full experience — unlimited history, voice wins (60 s audio), your personal mood story, and a monthly streak freeze. Cancel anytime.
What people say
"I've tried every journal app. Done is the only one that stuck because it asks for so little. Three weeks in and I actually look forward to it."
"On bad days, scrolling my win archive is better than therapy. I see 47 days of proof that I'm not failing — I just forget the good stuff."
"My therapist suggested gratitude journaling. I tried five apps. Done is the one that doesn't feel like homework. My 63-day streak is proof."
Free forever. Takes 3 seconds. No excuses.
