Focus timer
Today's stack
Pick what fits today's energy, not what you think you should do. Even one counts as a whole day. (Each is explained below.)
A dash of gratitude
One thing you're grateful for, however small. The small ones count double. Write as little or as much as you like.
You've been here
The days you showed up, in any amount. Gaps aren't failures; they're just rest. Tap a filled day to see what you noted.
Your history is yours
Everything here stays on this device. Save a copy you can keep or print, or move it to another device. It stays readable even after the tool is updated.

How to use this
There's no wrong way. But here's what each part is for.
What a Minimum Viable Day is
Some days you have a lot to give; many days you don't, and those are the ones this is built for. A Minimum Viable Day is the smallest set of things that still make a day count: not a productive day, a nourished one. The goal isn't to fill every box. It's to notice that even one portion, even just sleep, is a whole day and not a failed one. A floor to stand on, not a bar to clear.
The focus timer
It's a Pomodoro: one stretch of protected, single-tasking attention, then a real break. The classic rhythm is 25 minutes on, 5 minutes off, and you can change both. The point isn't to grind; it's the opposite. A short block of doing one thing gets more done, and costs less, than an hour of scattered half-attention. Tell the timer what you're working on, start it, and let everything else wait until it rings. Finish a block and it checks that portion in today's stack for you.
The seven portions
Not a checklist to complete but a menu to choose from. Each is a real way to nourish a day. On a full day you might touch several; on a hard day, one is plenty.
One thing, with your full attention. A single task you give yourself to completely, even for one timer's length.
Something with no point but itself. A little spontaneous, a little silly. Not the reward for a good day; part of what makes one.
One real moment with another person, or with the world. A genuine exchange, not a scroll. A short one counts.
Move your body, however gently the day allows. A walk, a stretch, dancing in the kitchen. Not exercise to earn or endure.
A quiet moment turned inward. Notice how you're actually doing, without rushing to fix it. The gratitude line above is one way in.
Unfocused, on purpose. No goal, no screen. Let your mind wander and go nowhere. One of the things that makes a day whole.
The real rest, the one that resets everything. Protecting it isn't lazy; it's the foundation the rest stands on. Some days it's the only portion you need.
