I Done This

Avantages

I use IDoneThis for both personal and professional reasons. I spend a few minutes every night entering the highlights of my day. I include trips I take that I can use for mileage reimbursement. It also helps me remember when I went to an appointment, or took care of a grandchild, or went to a particular event. I love it!

Inconvénients

I don't have any complaints. I would like to be able to easily capture all my calendar entries as an ongoing diary of my life. I know you can download it to an excel file, which is fine. But, if there were a way to have them compile a monthly/yearly day-by-day account that I could save in a pdf or print, that would be cool. But, I'm happy with what I have.

Avantages

- 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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

As a knowledge worker, I would often look back on the week and feel like I hadn't gotten anything done. IDoneThis helps me track what projects I've worked on as well as all of the other daily tasks that get thrown in. IDoneThis is easy to use, easy to access, and I really like that you can enter dones and to-dos manually, as well as via email reminder.

Inconvénients

I like the calendar feature, but don't like that I can't click between dates or see, overall, what I've done in a length of time. I have to click on each individual date to see what I've done for the day and that can be quite slow and cumbersome.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

Great simple tool for tracking work and projects. Simple reporting on what has been done. Great mobile app for iOS (only version I've used).

Inconvénients

Set up and initially very manual. Once activities entered are repeated, it is substantially easier to track.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

Helps team members understand the daily plight of their coworkers. Helps us celebrate small wins across the team. Keeps a record of our team progress over time. Allows new team members to integrate into our culture quickly. Holds each other accountable for getting tasks complete. Fosters transparency and open culture, no closed doors.

Inconvénients

The software interface is radically simple. you enter your done's, hit enter, done. The admin interface could use some work. Billing and plan updates are not overly easy to manage. Reporting is very limited, especially when you want to report one individuals done's over time. Also a challenge to report team done's over time. would like to see more graphical data visualization for our ongoing work.

Avantages

Our team is pretty much spread throughout the world and in different time zones. Since we have implemented this platform, it has helped everyone not only stay informed, but what had been accomplished and what still needs to be done. Having everything transparent, teammates are able to see what is still on our plates and help out if they think they can.

Inconvénients

The only thing I have to say that is negative about this is the design. It can be at times a little hard to navigate and it is not very intuitive at first. Once you learn how to navigate within the app, it's easy, but initially is a bit hard

Avantages

The clean interface and the ability to track down when I did what I did. Sometimes it feels good to go back and see what I did on a certain day 3 years ago :-)

Inconvénients

The lack of a mobile app. Sometimes it helps to go to the mobile and type out something which I can't in this case.

Avantages

My favorite aspect of this tool is that not only help you to have an overview of the projects/tasks your teams are working into, but it allows you to have a full view of the daily obstacles the team members have during their day to day work. Many other platforms are very good is project planning but fail in implementing a feature that accounts the unexpected tasks of the day to day, which part part of the work of fast moving industries of today. This fast sharing of the status of the work allows you to be more connected to the team and issues to be solved faster

Inconvénients

Trial period is extremely short as it is just 3 days. To have a good understanding of the potential of the tool and the benefits that can bring to the team, a normal team would need at least from a week to 10 days of trial

Alternatives envisagées 

Avantages

The daily emails so that can respond with dones allows me to easily track my daily activities and log them so that can review monthly.

Inconvénients

They have had periodic bugs with replies not being caught by the system. Also I would like to be able to print a monthly report to place in files. But the only option is a csv export.

Avantages

Daily automatic reminder and daily digest of the team activities

Inconvénients

A bit pricey, specially for the plus and enterprise plans.

Avantages

Easy, lovable, does exactly what it should. The like feature as well as comments is super cool!

Inconvénients

We need a mobile app for iOS & Android.
We need faster UI performance (I'm using the Electron App for MacOS).

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

I use this system for tracking income and travel as well as accomplishments. I usually use the 'reply' function on the evening email, and it is fast and simple and stored where I can access it. The fact that I can go to my calendar and search for specific keywords allows me to coordinate information easily and verify dates when necessary.

Inconvénients

The only complaint I have ever felt is when I get distracted and don't complete the daily list.
Needing to catch up with three or four days of neglected iDones is 100% my own fault, and I find it sufficiently onerous that I don't neglect it for longer periods.

Avantages

Keeping the history of all 'dones'
Keeping the team in sync every day
Replying via email
Ability to interact via likes and comments

Inconvénients

Email reply not always work - some times it skips some of the 'dones'
Daily email digest design should be more compact
Likes are not being notified
When adding a comment if the main 'doer' replies to the comment the commenter doesn't get notified unless it was tagged.
The price is too high for the type of service it offers
The UI is slow when filtering by my own 'dones' and they are displayed as a long list instead of groups by date (so I can easily identify what I did each day and paginate through that)
The option to set the digest/reminder time for each member seems to be no longer available in a central

Avantages

Easy to share events and thoughts quickly and in real time.

Inconvénients

The comments area is porly designed. No edit capability and it clearly gets no attention from the designers. Actually, from a manager’s view point, the comments area is the most important. Even for a sales team, a sales person often reaches out for ideas fro the team and those ideas are very difficult to share. It seems as though the designers do not see the value of comments. I have complained about this issue for 3 years now with absolutely no result and certainly no improvement. Because of this I would be reluctant to recommend the use of this program.

Avantages

This is a stellar way to keep track of what you've gotten done which is particularly helpful when preparing for a performance review. I love the feature that looks back in time although i wish that it would look back longer than a year to see what i was doing at that time.

Inconvénients

the typing is a little clunky and editing of an entry can be a pain.

Avantages

You can use hashtags to help organize for later searching/aggregating.

Inconvénients

I don't have any complaints, actually! You get a lot with the free version.

Avantages

This is an easy tool to use to view my teams accomplishments and doings. From this information I can leverage or assist on projects for which they are tasked or completed. I can communicate to my team my daily accomplishments, and share any future planning. The comments help as I can gauge what others may think and get feedback.

Inconvénients

Comments can't be deleted. Let's have some fun with emoticons or similar items.
Might be a bug but I added some accomplishment somewhere in the middle of the night(11pm?-1am?) and it appeared on the wrong day.

Avantages

Our tasks and goals are completely transparent now, and we can respond to other people's items, ask questions, and offer suggestions and help. As a team leader who works remotely, I feel more connected to my team members and I have a better handle on their pain points - and I can celebrate their successes, as well. IDoneThis allows me to be in the loop on things that I might otherwise miss.

Inconvénients

It duplicates tasks and I'm not sure how to clean that up. On the day the tasks are scheduled, my to-do list looks fine. But when I review a previous day (or when the summary is emailed to me) I often see a long list of duplicated tasks.

Avantages

This is a great modern way of tracking our team's progress in tasks & projects. Great productivity tool and affordable pricing.

Inconvénients

I don't think there is anything we dislike about IDoneThis. It's all good, we will keep using it for sure!

Avantages

Writing about your work is one of the best ways to keep your work tangible and to be able to hit your goals. IDoneThis makes it incredibly easy to keep an ongoing log of your work, and also to keep a better big picture view of things.

Inconvénients

It seems pretty basic. It used to have some more tools for visualizing your work over time, but they removed all of those some time ago, and it's basically just a calendar now.

Avantages

So easy to use for me and the Team. I can assign tasks and watch as they get completed

Inconvénients

Waiting for the mobile app on November 1

Avantages

I really do love this app - it's easy to add accomplishments in, big or small, and it allows me a chance to reflect on my week. It also helps me create weekly and monthly reports, as I can scan through and pinpoint bigger achievements I'd like to manually add to my report.

I also love the Slack integration. I don't even have to login to I Done This to add dones to my list!

Inconvénients

There's have been bugs that have prevented us from logging dones. I think things look good now, but when they crop up, the team has to manually log their dones, and when it's back up, we have to backfill them. It's not ideal, but understandable as long as it's corrected quickly. :)

Avantages

This service makes it EASY to track every little task and project I complete. I've been using it for six years. That means if I'm doing first quarter planning, I can go back and look at what I did the first quarter the last few years and see what I can repeat and how I can build on the past. The more you advance in your career, the less you can rely on your memory. iDoneThis does the remembering for me. I often forget my accomplishments, but iDoneThis lets me go back and reflect and see how I've grown. All I have to do is reply to an email iDoneThis sends me every day, and it enters my completed tasks for me. If you don't track what you've done, it's almost as if you didn't even do it. iDoneThis adds tremendous value because it tracks and helps you measure your progress. I recommend this to anyone who will listen.

Inconvénients

Would be nice if I could figure out how to integrate my calendar with iDoneThis.

Avantages

Simple to perform the basic task of recording what you've done, easy to switch between dates, clear view of colleagues day

Inconvénients

Lack of sharing, linking and flagging facilities which reduces the potential benefit of this as a commsvtool, makes it seem more like a means of supervision

Avantages

I've been an iDone this user for years, and it lets me keep track of the small wins day to day to keep my project motivation up, and also show progress over weeks, months and years.

Inconvénients

I wish I could embed photos or video directly in my "done" lists, so I can go back and use them in social media posts later.

Avantages

I love the concept. This is a beautiful tool for anxiety management.

Inconvénients

Nothing, this is a great tool. *********

Avantages

I am able to have a daily record of important (and some not important) items that occur in my life. I am able to access the program easily and record an item. I'm also able to edit an item thereby following to a conclusion or correction. I also appreciate the search function in which I am able to find occurrence(s) that happens years ago.

Inconvénients

I am unable to sync with my iphone or ipad.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

The concept is great for remote teams: in place of a daily standup, have a clear way to log what you did each day. This is useful even for people to do individually for themselves to help keep track of where their day went, but becomes especially useful for transparency in remote teams. There are also some nice mechanisms for feedback/encouragement through the ability to "like" coworkers items.

Inconvénients

The email digest is pretty useless in its current form, which was one of my favorite parts of their pre-redesign service. And the main site could be much faster... needs some serious optimization. And more focus/love could be given to integrations.

Avantages

How easy it is, and how you can jump ahead in the calendar (my boss likes when we post all our accomplishments for the week only on the Fridays. Jumping ahead allows me to add throughout the week so I don't forget anything.)

Inconvénients

How when you're typing something long, the beggining of the message disappears and you can't see it without having to arrow upwards.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

Does what it is supposed to in general...

Inconvénients

Wish had better options for being notified... if I do comment on someone's done, I would expect to at least have the option to be notified to any responses on that 'thread' (rather than remind folks to add an @mention).
Reminders are also a bit too quick to disappear for folks not updating (for example when on vacaction, one would have to get back and reset reminders...).

Avantages

Super easy to use, friendly UI, customer service reliable even though the chat is not a chat

Inconvénients

No systematic invoice when buying, I have to request it each time, for a B2B this is not good.
We need an app to track on the go
Integration in sfdc for metrics
I want to have 2 to 3 customize able fields

Avantages

I like the new platform vs. the one I used in 2014-2016, being able to load goals and check them off is a feature I find really beneficial. Training a new employee to use Idone is more than simple. If they have ever used a social media platform, they can navigate this one just as easily.

Inconvénients

I don't have any dislikes, I really like Idone.

Avantages

It's extremely easy to use. At 4 p.m., I get an email that asks me about my dones. All I have to do is take 30 seconds to reply. From doing this, I have years of records of things I've done that are easily searchable, that I otherwise may have forgotten. Sometimes I open the website and directly type my dones.

I use my records to plan ahead, pad my bio, and also to celebrate the depth and breadth of what I've done in a given amount of time. It's like a tree is falling in the forest, and now everyone can see it!

Inconvénients

Sometimes I desire more functions, like tracking my time spent on tasks. But maybe the benefit of not having this is iDoneThis' simplicity.

Avantages

It's easy to use. There's almost no learning curve. The email reminder feature is really great, you don't need the app open all the time, just read your emails. I like that you can add tasks and done status manually, and the communication with the team is really fast. The feature to reply the email reminders is great as well, so you don't have to open the app all the time.

Inconvénients

The free trial is really short, I can't test the app in only three days. It's not affordable, I think it should be cheaper. The chrome extension is not updated at all. Some junk/spam mail after registration.

Avantages

It turned into a very useful habit, every day I actually look back on the day and think about what I did and how I did it. It also works as a personal journal, that let's me look back at what I got done on any given date.

Inconvénients

Can't turn off daily digests, as an individual user (no team).
No Android app (that I know of).
The ToDo functionality I never got to use.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

I love that with a single email I can keep track of everything I have done in the day and searching for something it's simple as putting a word or going to a specific date in the calendar online.

Inconvénients

It's simple, the best thing and the most intriguing thing because any change would make it a bit better but would also be a con.

Avantages

Easy to use in email. Inside the tools I use already and easily customizable. I also love how nimble the interface is.

Avantages

The ease of the daily email response system. Without that I probably wouldn't have stuck with it for so long.

Inconvénients

I'm just a personal user and don't care about the team features so I wish I didn't have to see them. I understand that's the direction of the company though so it doesn't bother me too much.

Avantages

It is simple, clean user interface, and does the job I want reliably and without fanfare.

Inconvénients

This may be a reflection on me, but it does what I want it to and nothing more.

Avantages

trying to think of something, coming up blank

Inconvénients

very limited features
very limited in what you can edit
default for adding a new item is "done" and not "to to"
the reminder emails get annoying real fast and should be combined into 1
customer service is not great
tried to use this with my team at work and they were sort of horrified by the name of the product

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

The API and command line utilities are really great.

Inconvénients

I'd like them to merge my PRs and deploy a new ruby gem.

Avantages

No bells and whistles and easy to use. You get onto the site, input your data, and you're done.

Inconvénients

I can't compare it to other software, but I find I Done This quick and efficient.

Avantages

Multiple formats allow users to submit items "done" no matter where they are in the project via email and web. Very easy to use!

Inconvénients

The email digests automatically stop if not opened after a period of a few days. This is inconvenient when taking an extended vacation or stepping away from email for a bit. I'm positive that I would be more comfortable referring if the site was called ididthis.com instead of idonethis.com
