Yep, it's all done auto-magically by them. We didn't push it to MacOS App Store.

Then is actually only available on iPhones and iPads.

Macbooks with M1 can run those due to M1 magic, but to enable it on Intel-based Macs, the app actually has to be built for the MacOS unfortunately.

Thanks!

Opposite to many of mood journals (including Daylio), Then is about more than just mood.

First, it’s focused on understanding your emotions through your activities (i.e. there is no way to track mood without capturing what you did) and showing you correlations between them.

Second, it also allows you to capture time spent on each activity and helps you reflect on it, irrespective of the mood (we actually have some users who use Then as a time tracker alternative).

In a way, you can think of it as a tool that marries time trackers and mood journals.

No, iOS only for now. Depending on the usage, we might expand to Android and Web

The app is actually free. Only the advanced features are paywalled.

Being data nerds as well, we were scratching our own itch with Then.

We tried to add a few things to make it a part of our routine, like push notifications and homescreen widget.

But what worked the best for me personally was seeing the value (i.e insights on my activities): after that it got easier to remember to track.

One other thing was focusing only on things that mattered. At first I was trying to track every single activity every day, but then realized that things like showering didn’t really give much insight. So now I primarily focus on activities that are energy draining or which I want to be conscious about (focused work, meetings, side projects, walking, sport etc.)

oh wow, that's a lot of entries!

thanks so much for flagging!

Then is an activity and mood diary that helps you analyze how you spend your time and how things you do influence your emotions. You can easily track what you do, how much time it takes, and how it makes you feel.

Whether you choose to focus on just one activity, like time spent working, or record everything you do during the day, detailed insights will help you identify patterns and get a breakdown of positive and negative influences in your daily life. Its goal is to offer a simple, clean and calming experience to help you be more mindful about your time and emotions.

You can download it on AppStore here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/then-activity-mood-diary/id156...

All of those make a lot of sense, cheers!

That's great. You mean it from the perspective of helping people with your product, not from the perspective of helping your teammates, correct?

Hey folks!

A couple of years back I started sending a weekly newsletter all about how to build great teams and be a better leader. Teambit Digest has been going for more than 100 editions, so I wanted to share some of the best articles we’ve read so far.

Penned by researchers, founders and executives and handily gathered into seven categories, they’ll help you with clear tactical advice on how to be a better leader.

Hope you enjoy!

cool website! thanks for sharing

yep, you are right!

good point!

I guess it really depends on the environment in the team and the way you frame it though.

Hey! I’m one of the creators of Manager checklist and co-founder at Teambit.

Back in 2013, our first startup grew from 4 to 9 people in a matter of months and, as first time managers, we found ourselves completely clueless on how to best support our team.

Being a manager, especially a first time manager is tough. There are simply so many of things you need to keep in mind and so many things you just don’t know.

Manager checklist is our effort at making the weight of being a manager more bearable. You can look through it once and copy to your to do list or you can regularly come back here to check stuff, but hopefully it will help you make sure you’re supporting your reports in the best way possible.

I’m here to answer any of your questions!

Hey folks

I’m Alex, one of the creators of Manager Assessment and co-founder at Teambit.

While building Teambit, we’ve stumbled on tons of research about what makes a good leader good. But unless there is an established culture of feedback in your team, it’s hard for a leader to assess how well you are doing.

Manager Assessment is a short, research-backed questionnaire to help each team leader understand how good they are at their job and what areas they can improve.

Take an assessment, share your results and tell us what you think. We are all ears

You can read a bit more on what the assessment is based on here: http://help.teambit.io/what-research-is-the-manager-assessme...

Hey HN!

We’ve built Teambit out of frustration of how worklife is. The goal is to make a product, focused on teammates, that helps them feel engaged, recognised and clear about their career.

We are currently going through YC’s Startup School and wanted to start sharing it publicly, even if it’s still a bit rough on edges.

Would love to hear your thoughts.
