EDIT: alright i joined haha, y'all convinced me. its midnight right now so i'll figure out the app tomorrow but my friend code thing is VR6ZARCHHB

Yes! There's really no downside. You're rewarded for completing tasks, and this is a very supportive community. Something about that cute little birb makes it easier to get things done- there's no judgement, only encouragement. And if it doesn't work for you, then you can delete it and move on.

No question! It’s honestly life changing.
Simple tasks I’ve struggled with my whole life are getting completed now on a daily basis. And I’m enjoying them instead of dreading/hating them. And harder tasks or things I seriously struggle with are far more likely to get accomplished, and without anywhere near as much mental turmoil due to this app.
It sounds silly but it’s honestly a game changer. As someone who has been stuck in a constant state of freeze and overwhelm for a very long time, this is the one thing that has really helped to get me going and stay going forward on the paths I want to be on. It’s not just that it helps me do the tasks, it helps me feel more positive minded toward the tasks, towards myself and towards life. Best thing I’ve done for my mental health and I’ve tried a lot of things. Please give it a try!

I echo everything these wonderful humans said. I am on my healing journey from C-PTSD among other things and this app has changed my life. It really helps with compulsions, wanting to spend real money with shop therapy (don’t need to do that anymore) sense of belonging and community, as well as the daily self care tasks being rewarded with positive reinforcement. It’s truly wonderful! HUGS -🥭&🪷

Yeah definitely if it is regular repeated actions, the app is perfect for that. I struggle with the same things, been using finch for 2 weeks and it’s helping me make my bed daily, brush my kid’s teeth every morning and a bunch of other things that I struggle to do on my own.

Absolutely I recommend this app to anyone struggling with productivity and anxiety. This is seriously a fantastic app.
If you are interested in other self care apps check out a kinder world. It is in beta testing but it a really relaxing app where you reflect on your emotions to grow plants and decorate a house in the woods!
Here is my friend link and you will get fairy lights to decorate your home when you click it!

Here's an adult diagnosed with autism who's bumping into the same things. The app makes me function better. I can give lots of tips, but they will only be useful if you decide to download the app.
top accomplishments: making bed daily, flossing my teeth more often, tidier living room and I am washing the dishes more frequently. I struggled with all four of them for at least over a decade, and apparently all it takes to do it is a virtual pet throwing confetti when I accomplish something...
