Most productivity apps start your day with a list of things you haven’t done yet. By midnight, half the list is still there, and instead of feeling productive, you feel behind. There’s a better way to measure a day.
I built What I Did — originally named What I Did – 오늘 한 일 in Korean — as the direct opposite of a to-do list. Instead of tracking what’s left, it only records what you’ve already finished.
Why I built it
I kept opening my task manager at the end of the day and feeling worse than when I started. The incomplete items weren’t a motivator — they were just noise and guilt. What I actually needed was a place to say: here’s what I got done today, and that’s enough.
The idea is simple. Every entry you add is something you already did. There are no deadlines, no priority flags, no overdue labels. The app doesn’t judge you. It just remembers.
What it does
- Calendar-first layout — Browse by date and see at a glance how many things you logged on any given day. Scrolling back through past weeks feels like flipping through a record of real work, not a graveyard of missed tasks.
- Quick entry with optional notes — Tap the plus button, write one line about what you did, and optionally add a note for more detail. That’s the whole flow.
- Daily reminder — Set a time once and the app will nudge you each day to log before you forget. Takes about two minutes in the evening or over your first coffee in the morning.
- English and Korean language support — Switch between languages at any time without restarting the app.
- Flexible sign-in options — Log in with Apple, Google, Kakao, Naver, or email. Your activity data is stored on the server and tied only to your account. You can delete your account — and every record with it — from the settings at any time.
Who it’s for
This app is a good fit for anyone who has bounced off traditional to-do apps and walked away feeling worse. That includes students who want a running log of what they studied, freelancers and remote workers who need to reconstruct what they completed for invoicing or retrospectives, and parents who want to make visible all the household and caregiving work that usually goes unrecorded. It’s also genuinely useful during any kind of recovery or reset period — those stretches of life when small wins matter and a long task list is the last thing you need.
If you’ve ever looked back at a month and thought “I didn’t really do anything” — only to realize you actually did quite a lot — this is the app that builds that evidence over time.
Version 1.0 is available now on the App Store. If the idea of ending each day with proof of what you accomplished sounds more useful than a list of what you didn’t finish, give it a try.
