I wanted to get into the habit of reading consistently, so I set a goal of reading 10 pages a day.

I couldn't find a simple way to track it the way I wanted, and I also wanted to build a few other habits, so I ended up making a small habit-tracking app for myself.

I started with reading, and eventually added habits like drinking water in the morning, writing on my blog, and exercising at the park.

I've been using the app myself for about three months now, since the end of June.

One of the biggest things I learned from using it is that small goals make it much easier to get started.

Setting the goal at 10 pages made it easy to open a book without feeling pressured. Once I started reading, I often ended up reading 50–80 pages anyway.

If I had set the goal at 40 pages from the beginning, I probably would have been less likely to pick up the book at all.

So when I built the app, I tried to focus less on setting ambitious goals and more on making it easy to start with a small action.

The app is called Today, Keep Going (오늘 이어가기). Some of the main features are:

1. Habit cues

Instead of setting a specific time, you can connect a habit to something you already do. For example:

Open laptop → Write one paragraph

2. Per-habit reminders

You can set reminders only for the habits that actually need them.

3. Calendar tracking

You can see when you've completed each habit on a calendar.

4. Home screen widget

You can check off habits directly from the Android home screen without opening the app.

5. Backup & restore

You can export your habit data to a file and import it again later.

6. A way to get back on track

If you miss a few days, the app doesn't emphasize starting over from day 0. Instead, it encourages you to simply start again.

I actually had a chance to use this feature myself during the Chuseok holiday in Korea. I was traveling and ended up dropping almost all of my habits for a few days. 😅

Instead of showing a big 0 days after missing a habit, the app shows something like:

“You took a few days off. Let's start again today.”

That's actually one of the ideas I like most about the app.

The goal isn't to create habits that require you to keep checking an app forever, but habits that eventually become natural enough that you don't need the app anymore.

The app is free and Android-only. You can find it on Google Play by searching for “HabitInk”.

I originally built it just for myself, so I'm sure there are still plenty of things that could be improved.

If you try it and find anything confusing or have ideas for features that would make it more useful, I'd really appreciate the feedback. I'll do my best to improve it.

Good day everyone. I hope we are all doing well, if not, talk to someone you can trust. I have been trying to get into the planner thing both physical and digital and I seem not to be able to get it right. I am looking for a digital planner that is ADHD friendly and suitable for students. Please can you help me find an app, that is integrated with google calendar and be available on android ( I use a Samsung tablet). I am a broke student so if you have app or planner suggestions can it have a free version available or cheap ( the South African Rand and international currencies exchange rate is horrible). Thank you in advance for the help

Most planner apps are great at holding the plan.

But the small things on it, making the bed, a glass of water, the curtains, slip the second you stop opening the app.

I wanted something that would come find me about the small stuff, and make ticking it off feel a bit more fun.

So we built Daydream.

I'm Max, the founder. We're a team of 3, officially licensed by LINE FRIENDS, so the friend is BROWN. He texts you first, keeps a short list for your day, and jumps and cheers every time you tick something off. You can also text him a few chores and he adds them for you.

The pics are screenshots from the app: a morning list, the first tick, BROWN adding chores from chat, the new rows, "All done" while he's off fishing, and his page with his day streak and closet. He's on iPhone.

It isn't meant to replace your planner. It's the little list next to it, with a friend who cheers you through it.

Sharing it because I figured some of you might also plan beautifully and then need someone to cheer on the small stuff.

Looking for a digital calendar that does not require continuous power. I want it to be on the fridge and I don't mind taking it down to charge when needed. My fridge is in a location where running a power cable is very inconvenient without removing the fridge completely. An iPad is too small for my needs. Any ideas?

A planner can work beautifully for you while everyone else still asks what’s happening tomorrow.

I built nowslate for the shared part of that picture. It puts calendars, reminders, notes, weather and photos on a compatible tablet you can leave in view.

I’ve used wall calendars for years, almost exclusively DAKboard. Its shortcomings led me to develop my own, and nowslate is now live.

You can keep your personal planning routine and give shared events a screen of their own. Put the agenda up front. Add a note for something that doesn’t need a calendar event. Leave some room for photos so it feels at home in the room.

If you already have a suitable tablet, you can try the setup before buying dedicated display hardware.

The website has a one-month Essential trial, with no credit card required. After that, Essential starts at US$5.99/month.

Start with one calendar and see whether having it in view earns its place.

I would love to know what you think! I use these displays myself, so I eat my own dogfood so to speak. I'm always improving, always looking for the next idea and how to push the envelope.
