Most planning tools are built for output. They count tasks, reward streaks, and confuse motion with meaning. We've used them. They don't make the year better — they just make you tired.
YearInReview was built for a different kind of person: someone who wants a thoughtful relationship with their year. Someone who knows that depth comes from small, consistent practice — not from another dashboard.
One loop. Reflect, plan, live, review. A weekly five-minute check-in. A daily Today surface. A year-end Wrapped that's actually worth keeping. Nothing more, nothing louder.
We're against streak shame, dark patterns, fake urgency, and the entire genre of productivity guilt. We're for white space, honest prompts, and tools that disappear when you don't need them.
If that sounds like the year you want — welcome.
