DAILY FIVE · iOS AND ANDROID
Five things, every day, for the rest of your life.
A daily-habits app built on Dan Martell's Five Daily Non-Negotiables framework — and on the parts of behavioral psychology most habit apps quietly ignore.
$4.99/month or $39.99/year. No free tier.

The Philosophy
Every action you take is a vote for the person you want to become.
Most habit apps are built on anxiety. They nudge you, shame you, streak you, badge you, and remind you that you failed — all under the banner of "motivation."
Daily Five is built on a different premise: the person who does the work consistently is not the person with the best notifications. It's the person who has decided who they are.
Dan Martell calls them Five Daily Non-Negotiables. Five anchor habits you commit to before the day has a chance to negotiate with you. Not twelve. Not flexible. Five.
We built the simplest, quietest tool we could imagine around that constraint. Nothing more. Nothing less.
"Identity change is the north star of habit change. Every habit is a vote toward the identity you want to build."
— Atomic Habits, James Clear
The Four Screens
A complete system in four simple moments.
No onboarding maze. No settings sprawl. Four screens that handle everything — morning, execution, recovery, reflection.
Morning Ritual
Before you touch anything else, you read your five habits aloud and commit. A thirty-second ritual that sets the terrain for the day.
Five Habits Home
One screen. Five circles. Long-press to complete each habit — a deliberate gesture that asks for more than a tap. No list noise.
Recovery Screen
Missed a day. The app does not penalize you. It shows you a single screen that says: yesterday is over. Today you start fresh.
Monthly Map
A visual habit map across the month. Not a streak counter — a terrain view. You see the shape of your commitment over time.
Why It Works
Designed against the grain of every habit app you've already quit.
No streaks. No shame.
Streaks are an anxiety mechanic disguised as motivation. The moment you miss a day, the whole construct collapses. We don't track streaks. We track commitment over time.
Exactly five. Always.
You cannot add a sixth habit. You cannot mark one as optional. The constraint is the design. Five is a number a serious person can actually hold.
Private. One witness.
No social feed. No leaderboard. No sharing. The only witness to your habits is you — which is the only witness who actually matters for identity change.
Identity over outcomes.
The question is not "did you run today?" It's "are you the kind of person who runs every day?" The app is built to reinforce the second question.
Long horizon thinking.
90-day and 365-day reflections built in. The terrain of your commitment becomes visible at scale. One month looks like noise. One year looks like gravity.
Recovery built in.
Missing a day is not failure — it is part of any serious long-term practice. The recovery screen exists because the app assumes you are human, not optimizing for retention metrics.
Pricing
The price is the filter.
There is no free tier. Not because we couldn't build one — because free brings the wrong user. The right person pays for the things that matter to them.

Dan Martell's Five Daily Non-Negotiables

The question is whether you do them every day. Daily Five is the quiet anchor for people who have decided the answer is yes.
