Today, not forever
Start in a clean Today view. See what’s on your plate for this day only. Repeating tasks quietly show up when they’re relevant, and stay out of your way otherwise.
Gentle productivity
Organise your day.
Reflect without pressure.
Grain is a calm space to organise your day and check in with yourself – without the pressure of a hardcore productivity app.
- See what’s expected of you today – and what you actually want for yourself.
- Guided reflection in the evening keeps you honest and kind with yourself.
- No streaks. No noisy charts. Just small grains of progress.
Designed for today. Plan in the morning, reflect in the evening, and let everything in between be human.
A calmer way to keep up with your life
Grain combines a focused Today view with simple reflection. No dashboards, no gamification – just the things that matter today and a place to check in with yourself.
Expected & intended
Separate what the world expects from you from what you want for yourself. Give both space – without turning everything into an endless backlog.
Gentle reminders
Set a light morning reminder to look at your day, and an evening reminder to reflect on it. One tap from the notification takes you straight into Grain.
Guided reflection
You don’t have to know what to write. Grain asks simple, meaningful questions; you just answer. Your responses build a personal journal over time.
A journal you’ll read
Your answers are saved in a clean, chronological journal. Scroll through past days to see how your energy, focus, and priorities have shifted.
Small steps
No streaks. No pressure to be perfect. Just small daily steps that add up – and a place to notice that you’re changing.
How Grain fits into your day
Grain is meant to live quietly around your life – a gentle check-in in the morning, a friend asking good questions in the evening.
Step 1
Morning: set your day
In the morning, open Grain’s Today view. Add a few expected tasks and a handful of intended ones just for you. Close the app and live your day.
Step 2
During the day: stay grounded
Use Grain as a quiet checklist. Check off what gets done, postpone what doesn’t. There’s always another day – no punishment for changing your mind.
Step 3
Evening: reflect for a few minutes
In the evening, Grain asks you a few short questions. You answer, honestly and kindly. Over time, you’ll see patterns in what drains you, what gives you energy, and what you actually care about.
