About BrightTend: Daily Check-In
BrightTend gives you a simple morning plan and a brief evening check-in. In the morning, it shows the actions scheduled for today. In the evening, record how each one went: Did it, Some of it, or Not today. Add an optional note, tap Done for today, and move on. NO SCORES, NO STREAKS A streak can turn one missed day into a reason to stop. BrightTend doesn't rank your days or grade your week. History shows what actually happened—one quiet line per action across the month—so you can notice patterns without being told what they mean about you. BUILT TO BE SMALL One list. No folders, categories, or goals inside goals. Adding an action takes a name and the days it belongs to, with an optional reason. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No BrightTend account, sign-in, ads, tracking, or third-party analytics. Your actions, answers, notes, and settings are stored in the app's private storage. BrightTend does not upload them anywhere. The daily check-in works offline. Buying or restoring BrightTend Lifetime connects to Apple's App Store. Backup, plain-text, and PDF files are created only when you ask for them and are handed to your iPhone's share sheet. FREE TO START BrightTend is free to use with three active actions. A one-time BrightTend Lifetime purchase unlocks unlimited active actions and printable PDFs of one month or many. No subscription. ALSO INCLUDED • Search your notes • A plain-text copy of everything you've written, free • Optional morning and evening reminders, scheduled locally, never naming your actions, and easing off if you've been away • A gentle note when it's been a while since your last backup • Five text sizes in addition to your iPhone's system setting • Light and dark appearances • Archive actions without losing their history • Backup and restore using a file you control
