Hey everyone,

I’m a solo iOS developer and recently launched my first app called Promise Today.

The idea is simple:

One day. One promise.

Instead of tracking a long list of habits, streaks, routines, and goals, the app asks the user to make one realistic promise for today, do it, and check out at night.
The goal is to help people rebuild self-trust through small promises they can actually keep.

I’m not sure if the positioning is strong enough. I’m also not sure if “self-trust” is clear enough, or if people understand the value immediately.

I’d love a brutal roast on:

1. The concept
2. App Store positioning
3. Screenshots / first impression
4. Pricing
5. Whether the app feels too simple
6. What would stop you from downloading it
7. What you would change to make it more attractive

Please be honest. I’m trying to improve it, not protect my feelings 😄

Hi everyone,

I’m a solo developer and I made Promise Today because I personally needed something simpler than normal habit apps.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/promise-today-daily-goal/id6763947052

I tried tracking habits, routines, streaks, goals… but after a while it started to feel like another thing I was failing at.

So I built the app around one simple idea:

One day. One promise.

You write one realistic promise for today, do it, and check out at night with:

Kept

Almost

Not Today

That’s it.

The goal is to slowly rebuild self-trust by keeping small promises to yourself.

Examples:

“I will walk for 30 minutes.”

“I will clean my desk.”

“I will drink water before coffee.”

It helped me think about consistency in a much calmer way, and I hope it can help other people too.

Promise Today Pro normally costs $24.99/year, but I’m giving 1 year free just leave a comment with “Promise”

I don’t have a budget for ads, so I’d honestly be really grateful for any feedback, bug reports, ideas, or suggestions.

Reviews are appreciated too, but of course completely optional — no review or rating is required to redeem the offer.

Hi

I just released the first version of my iOS app: Promise Today.

The idea is simple:

One day. One promise.

Instead of tracking many habits, routines, streaks, and complicated systems, Promise Today focuses on one small commitment per day.

The flow is:

1. Write one promise for today

2. Do it during the day

3. Check out honestly at night

4. Build a little more self-trust

Examples:

“I will walk for 30 minutes.”

“I will clean my desk.”

“I will drink water before coffee.”

At night, you check out with:

Kept

Almost

Not Today

The goal is not pressure or perfection. The goal is to help people keep small promises to themselves and slowly rebuild self-trust.

This is the first release, so I’d be grateful for any feedback, ideas, or suggestions — especially about the concept, onboarding, screenshots, and whether the app feels clear enough.

I’ll also attach a short video showing the main flow

Thanks for checking it out.
