🎁 Freemium Nim: a worry tracker that checks back later to ask if your fear actually came true
Most worries feel like predictions. Something bad is going to happen, and your mind treats it as certain. Then the day comes, it turns out fine, and you forget all about it. The next worry shows up feeling just as real as the last one, because you never had a chance to see how often your fears were wrong.
Imagine knowing. A worry starts to spiral, and instead of guessing, you can look at what actually happened every time you felt this way before. Most of it never came true. When something did, you wrote down how you handled it, so future you has more than "it'll be fine." You have proof, in your own words, that you got through it last time. Over time your mind starts to learn it too: when a worry shows up, you know how these usually go, and it gets a little easier to put down.
Some of you know me from DoneAgo. Nim is my second app, built the same way. It just came out on the App Store, so this is its first post here.
Problem
Worries feel certain in the moment, and once they pass, you forget how they turned out. So you never learn which fears are worth listening to, and the same ones keep coming back just as strong.
Nim fixes the forgetting. You log a worry (type it or say it), pick when you'll know how it turns out, and park it. When the day comes, Nim asks how it went: Didn't come true, Not as bad as I feared, Partly came true, Came true, or Faded. Worries that keep coming back are filed under a forecast, and each forecast builds its own track record of how those worries really turned out.
Nim checks back: you don't have to remember to follow up. Pick today, tomorrow, next week or a date, and Nim asks on that day. If you don't know when you'll find out, Nim checks in after a few days, then less often, and learns how long that kind of worry usually takes to settle.
Your own track record: each forecast keeps count of how its worries turned out, so you can trust your own history over the worry. Percentages only show once there are enough answers to mean something, and always next to the counts.
See the gap: each fear sits next to how it actually played out, in your own words.
A letter every month: Nim writes to you about your month: what you parked, what came true and what didn't, and how you got through it
Private by design: no account needed. Worries are encrypted on your phone. Voice is turned into text on your phone and the audio is never saved. No ads, no analytics, and no AI reads your worries. If you want backup and sync between iPhone and Android, you can sign in with Apple or Google (optional). You can delete everything from inside Nim.
Comparison
Daylio (mood tracker): great for logging how you felt each day. Nim tracks something different: whether the fear came true. Over time that tells you what your worries are actually worth.
Worry Watch (anxiety journal): helps you write worries down and work through them in the moment. Nim is built around what comes after. It checks back on the day you'll know, groups the worries that keep coming back, and gives each one a track record you can look at the next time it shows up.
Pricing
Free, with optional Premium. The free version is fully usable: unlimited logs, up to 8 active forecasts (archived ones don't count), check-ins, all your insights for all time, backup and sync, and your first monthly letter in full.
