IDoneThis Software

Good way to track productivity

I needed an easy way to track and review the tasks I work on during each day. iDoneThis made it simple and easy to do this. I've shared it with my colleagues and friends as well.

Pros

It's easy to use, and I love the Slack integration that allows me to easily post what I've accomplished within Slack. The email feature and the reminders you can set are also great.

Cons

I haven't seen the app evolve in quite a while. I've been using it for

Love this!

Pros

I tend to forget what I've done on any given day; using this to keep track day to day gives me such a sense of accomplishment plus a hsistory to go back and review.

Cons

I've not experienced anything I don't like about this software...

Great concept, execution needs some work

Pros

I think the idea of IDoneThis is excellent and I love its simplicity. I've found it very helpful in keeping track of my projects and workflow.

Cons

The search function is crucial, but more often than not results in a red screen that says simply, "An error has occurred. We're sorry. An error has taken place while trying to respond to your request." I've experienced this error repeatedly over many weeks. Fix this and my review would be much more favourable.

Capture your completions

Simple and streamlined way to capture my daily thoughts and completions as well as end of week incompletions that I can mark especially. This saves me from having my own system and keeps it easily accessible and easily captured so I can focus on doing. Tracking completions for me hasn't helped me celebrate wins, notice patterns in my work and moods, and focus on doing and not on random distractions or details like many productively systems I've tried.

Pros

Easy to use and integrate with my productivity system

Cons

Really does everything I want with. I issued but if I had to say something - Don't have ways to link other productively files that I use like excel to have everything in one place.

I'm a big fan

Pros

I've used iDoneThis for a long time now, and the thing I like most is the simplicity. It allows me to keep track of what I've done in a quick and easy manner. The ability to go back in time and see what I was doing on a specific day years ago is great.

Cons

I wish I could reorder my dones on a day! There's some real functionality features that I find lacking that I think could improve the platform while still maintaining its simplicity and ease of use.

Hit or miss

I could live without it

Pros

It allows me to track my daily activities for my boss

Cons

It's not user friendly and doesn't work all the time. Plus you don't get all the notifications when others are commenting or liking your activity.

Simple, easy-to-use app to track goals completed each day

his helps me reflect on how I spent my time and plan out what I need to do next.

Pros

The software is very simple and easy to use, making it painless to track what I complete every day. This helps me reflect on how I spent my time and plan out what I need to do next.

Cons

I wish there was an iPhone app! It would also be cool to integrate with RescueTime so that my time and goal tracking is all in one place.

Collaborative project management

Pros

Simple, minimalist looking app with collaboration in mind

Cons

No free tier, only a free trial. Had to justify switching to the software without the possibility of a free option.

Keeping track of exercise

Good

Pros

Easy to enter daily log. The monthly calendar shows me how many days of the month I missed in a graphical form. I try to exercise every day but want to at least do 6 days a week. I've had a couple of perfect months so far.

Cons

I wish I could subscribe to it on my calendar app so I could easily see what I did for a given day.

Awesome product to keep track of daily dones

I have been using iDoneThis for several years now to keep track of what I’ve accomplished every day, it’s great to look back on dones from the past! It super helpful with weekly reviews to go back and see accomplishments for the week and also end of the year reviews. Highly recommend iDoneThis to anyone who wants to be more effective in life!

Pros

- Keeps track of daily dones, which are way more inspring that to-do’s
- Daily reminders with a digest of last day’s done and a done from some time in the past (week, month, 3 months, 6 months or year back) which is always interesting to look back at.

Cons

- None as of now! This is truly a remarkable tool.

A simply and elegant tool

I use it as a diary, to keep track of my productivity from day to day. It's very effective and gives me a great sense of accomplishment.

Pros

It's very simple to use and very effective in its functionality. It allows me to email in the tasks that I accomplished and to keep track of them via the calendar. I also love the reminders, included in the email, of what I accomplished on the same day weeks and months ago.

Cons

I'd love to have it as an app for my phone.

Great For Looking Back

I don't use I Done This for business but my daughter-in-law does and she's the one who started me on it. So I can't say anything about my business experience with it, but she loves it. As a personal user, I would be very upset if they discontinued the personal page, because it's like having a short journal to keep track of your life.

Pros

I have the personal version and I like that I can see that I actually accomplished something in a day. And if I need to check back on when I did something, the search feature is a great help. I Done This almost feels like an easy, short journal, helping you to remember and capture what you did in any particular day.

Cons

I've been using this about 4 years and can't say there's anything I don't like. The app was really wonky but I mostly use the web site on my computer so that didn't matter to me. Although it's nice to hear they're coming out with a new app.

I Done This for Law Firms

I love the concept and it works great for us but customer support is nearly non existent.

Pros

We can easily search action taken for a client or case.

Cons

Often it feels like there are bugs and when it is not functioning it hinders our ability to work as a team and put our best foot forward for our clients.

Makes things easy

I'm finding that often I did more than I thought in a day, and I find it extremely useful for billing. Better than my calendar.

Pros

I like that it automatically asks me to review the day and keep track of my tasks. Especially handy at billing time!

Cons

At first it was difficult to figure out how to pull up a month of Tones (for billing) but now that I've figured it out, all is well.

Perfect chance for a daily reflection

I use idonethis for many years as a daily reflection tool. Both for business and for private use. It helps me to identify patterns and to check my output.

Pros

- I could use it via email reply
- It sends me things I wrote last year
- I could export it via calendar
- It reminds me every evening

Cons

- The website interface is a little bit oldschool and slow (but I use e-mail replys anyway)

Keeping Track

I'm a musician, music therapist and writer simply keeping track of daily work. I don't work with a team, but I use 'I Done This' to note thoughts and ideas about work and life in general as well as noting the work I've done that day. It's easy to search past entries to review ideas and this takes away some of the fear of losing ideas that might have mileage.

Pros

The 'I Done This' software with its daily reminder email makes it simple to note each day what I've done, as it's easy to forget the detail in a busy life.

Cons

I use the software at a pretty basic level and there's nothing that annoys me about it.

(y)

I use IDoneThis primarily for working w/ depression. Being able to see how much or little I did on one day is motivating, as well as it is very satisfying to put something down as done, much better than creating a list of things to do.

Pros

Easy to use, can access anywhere b/c via browser, sign-in via Google.

Cons

A lot of bugs, i.e. can’t switch b/w dates sometimes. Also, there isn’t an overall view of seeing your list, unless you export. Too simple for what it is, would really like app of some sort w/ more features, such as overall view, sub-dones, re-sort by oldest, alphabetical, etc.

I Done This - My Way

I have a number of 'project' businesses which I need to keep tabs on and also schedule time to attend.

Pros

I liked that IDT created a space for me to record the achievements I had hit on a daily basis. It seemed to be a helpful tool. I probably did not explore IDT to its full potential. I'd encourage you to give it a go!

Cons

I found that IDT didn't give me the flexibility I have found with other apps. After I started to use IDT I found Wunderlist and from there I have moved to Todoist which I use in conjunction with Agenda on my MBP. This seems like my happy place.

Idiot proof

I've used it for years as a quick and easy way to record time spent on various tasks/jobs. I don't need a complex timesheet app with loads of bells and whistles, so IDoneThis is perfect for me.

Pros

Really simple to use. The email prompt is a genius idea.

Cons

Calendar view for reviewing entries is not as easy to use as it might be.

Great Way to Track Your Days

It's simple and easy to use and I like the reminders near the end of each day to go in and enter what you did for the day. I love it.

Pros

Easy way to jot down what you've done for the day. I add to it everyday. It's a great way to be able to look back and find what you did on a particular day.

Cons

There's no reordering of what you entered. I like to enter things in the order they happened, but sometimes you forget something and want to add it in later, but there isn't a way to do that without deleting stuff and adding it back.
