A daily reflection app for iPhone
Your daily reflection, visible across the whole year.One check-in. One dot. Thirty seconds.
One Percent is a daily reflection app for iPhone. Record your mood, one win, one lesson, and an optional private note. Every check-in lights one of 365 dots, so you can revisit how your day, week, and year actually felt.
30 seconds a night · your goals, always in view · iPhone, widgets, Apple Watch
Keep scrolling. This is how a year feels
One check-in. One dot. One percent.
0%
January 1, nothing written yet
The math you're living
Day 1 looks like nothing.
Day 365 is ×37.8.
×1.00
day 1 of 365 · one percent at a time
That's compounding: invisible for months, then vertical. Get 1% better every single day and you end the year almost 38 times past January's version of you. The whole app exists to keep that stack where you can see it.
The system
Three numbers run the whole thing.
365
dots on one screen
You see the whole year at once: lived days in color, the rest hollow and waiting. You never lose the plot of your own year again.
1
question every morning
You wrote your goals in your own words; One Percent turns the main one into a daily question. What you promised January stays in your face in July.
30
seconds every night
Mood, one win, one lesson. The smallest evening ritual that still changes what you do tomorrow.
January 1 · you meant every word
You set goals in January. One Percent won't let you forget them by March.
Write what you're building this year in your own words: your health, a project, your people. Pick the one that matters most. One Percent builds your daily question, your recaps, your widgets and your Year Wrapped out of it.
Change a goal in July and everything recalculates. The app follows you, not the plan you outgrew.
- A daily question cut from your goal, a different angle on it every morning.
- Your plan becomes today's intentions: three at most, so you actually finish them.
- Skip one and it follows you to tomorrow. Quietly. But it follows.
22:04 · lights almost out
You already know how today felt. Say it in thirty seconds.
Five moods, terrible to great. Tap the one that's true. Then two honest lines: what went well today, what could have been better. That's a complete check-in; your dot is lit.
Got more in you? The private journal note takes the details: people, ideas, next steps, for as long as you want to write. No word counts. No audience.
Want to try the ritual before choosing an app? Start with the one-line-a-day journal guide.
- Mood, one win, one lesson, done before your tea cools.
- A private note when the day deserves more than two lines.
- Missed a night? Reopen the day and light it late. The grid forgives.
Sunday evening · week 28
Your week, written down.
One Percent reads your seven check-ins and writes the week back to you. Under the recap: your last two weeks as one breathing line, your streak, your days caught, your percent of the year. Numbers you can argue with. You'll spot the Tuesday dip before it spots you.
The recap
The wrap
Sunday · your week
Seven dots become a paragraph.
Every Sunday the recap reads your check-ins back to you: what carried you, what dragged, the line you forgot you wrote.
The 1st · your month
Thirty dots become a page.
On the 1st your month lands as one honest page: the trend of your mood, the week that hurt, the one that didn't.
Quarter's end · your season
Ninety dots become a story.
Three months, told as full-screen chapters, with your goals and your words as the plot.
December 31 · Year Wrapped
365 dots become your year.
The whole thing, wrapped: what you built, what you survived, and proof you were there for it. Written from your goals, the ones you set in January.
Day 191 · your first dot
You show up. It keeps score.
Light your first dot and First Step unlocks on the spot: “Day 191 is already on the board.” Twenty achievements sit between January and December: perfect weeks, streak medals, year milestones. One Percent hands you each one with the date you earned it.
And there's always a next one waiting quietly at the bottom of the screen. Not a nag. A dare.
- 20 achievements, each stamped with the day you unlocked it.
- Streak medals from your first check-in to your longest run.
- Year milestones (30%, 50%, 100%) worth a small celebration.
Your year, everywhere you look
The grid follows you around. That's the point.
The dots work because you keep seeing them. Put your year on every surface you already look at. Each glance is a quiet question: did you light today's dot yet?
Home & lock screen widgets
Your grid sits next to the clock. You check the time forty times a day. Now you check your year too.
Apple Watch
Check in from your wrist and carry the year as a complication. The glance-sized version of the whole idea.
Wallpaper generator
Render your dot grid as a wallpaper in your own colors. Your lock screen becomes your year in progress.
Share your grid
Export the grid as an image when a milestone deserves witnesses. 100 dots is worth showing someone.
Written for one reader: you
No account. No feed. Nobody reading over your shoulder.
Open the app and start writing: your journal lives on your phone, no sign-up between you and tonight's dot. If you turn on cloud sync, your words are encrypted on your device before they leave it. What you write at 22:04 is between you and December.
Tonight's dot is waiting.
You can't relight the ones behind you. The next one is tonight's, and it takes thirty seconds.
