A good bit for any kind of day.
A small iPhone app for noticing good things. A pebble for how you feel, one tiny thing to try, a jar for the good moments and one good news story. A minute or two, then put it down.
How’s today feeling?
- Bright
- Calm
- Tense
- Tired
- Low
One tap on Today. There’s no score and no wrong pebble, and the month slowly fills up with little faces. Today’s idea leans to suit the one you pick.
One tiny thing to try
Pour a glass of water. Breathe out slowly, three times. Put on one song. There are 150 small ideas, and Okaybit picks ones that fit the hour, the season and, if you turn weather on, the sky outside.
Do it, swap it or skip it. Nothing keeps score.

A jar for the good bits
Warm toast. A kind text. The bus driver who waited. Write it down, add a photo if you like, and drop it in. On a flat day, tap the jar and it hands one back.
Now and then a glimmer from a month or a year ago comes back on its day. When a jar is full, it goes on a shelf and a new one starts.
- Warm toast
- The bus driver waited for me
- Mum’s voice note
- Pink sky over the rooftops
- Clean sheets night
- Conkers all over the path
One good story. Then that’s it until tomorrow.
A headline, a few lines in our own words and a link to the publisher. Stories are checked for tone before they reach you, and there are three a day at most.
If one lands badly, tap This upset me and it’s gone.
Letters to future you
Write a few lines to yourself for three months, six months or a year from now, and tuck in a glimmer from today. It stays sealed on your phone until the morning it opens.
A wall of kind notes
Short notes from strangers, for whoever opens the wall next. No names, no replies, just a pebble for the ones you like. Every note is checked before it goes up, and the wall stays off until you want it.
Whoever is reading this: you made it to Tuesday. That counts.

Okaybit only goes online for the day’s stories, to report one you hide, for the note wall if you open it, and for the weather if you turn it on.
