Most people start the day with a plan and end it without knowing how much of it they got through, where the time went, or what any of it is building. Mevance answers all three — from your own record of your work.
Free for 14 days · No card required · English and Arabic
A place to write down what you intend to do today, tick off what you actually did, and see the two side by side. That is the whole of it. The plan takes a couple of minutes in the morning; closing the day takes less.
What you get back is the part nobody keeps: an honest record of your own work. Where the hours went, which projects moved, what kept slipping, and — after a few weeks — what you are quietly becoming good at. In Arabic or English, on your own or with a team.
Four steps, and only the first one needs you to type anything.
One task per line. Priority and an estimate if you want them, nothing if you don't.
It rewrites what you wrote — it never adds a task, changes the meaning, or marks anything done.
Unfinished work moves to your next working day, keeping its original date and history.
Completion, time by category and skill, and what your work is building month over month.
The daily loop is not a style choice. Each part of it is doing something that decades of published research says makes a measurable difference.
Across 94 studies and more than 8,000 people, turning a vague intention into a specific plan produced a medium-to-large improvement in whether the goal was actually reached.
This is why the day starts by writing it down, as tasks, not as a feeling.
Gollwitzer & Sheeran, Advances in Experimental Social Psychology (2006) ↗
A review of 138 experiments covering nearly 20,000 people found that monitoring progress toward a goal raises the chance of reaching it — and the effect was larger when the progress was physically recorded rather than merely noticed.
This is why closing the day writes down what happened, instead of leaving it in your head.
Only about three in ten people finished by the date they themselves had predicted. On average the work overran even their own worst case.
This is why estimate and actual are both kept, and why completion is reported three ways instead of as one flattering number.
Buehler, Griffin & Ross, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (1994) ↗
Across roughly 12,000 daily diary entries from 238 professionals, the single event that most reliably marked someone's best days was making progress on work that mattered to them — ahead of recognition, incentives or pay.
This is why the month is summarised as what your work is building, not as a score.
These are independent studies about planning, self-monitoring and progress in general. None of them tested Mevance. They are linked so you can read them and judge for yourself.
Measuring people's work is easy to get wrong. These are the choices that shape everything else.
Task count, time weighted and priority weighted are reported separately, and the product tells you which one it is leading with. A single opaque score would hide how it was made.
Finishing something unexpected is real work and appears in your reports. It does not quietly inflate how much of your plan you got through.
Visibility follows an explicit choice — yours. Private notes are never shared with anyone, under any setting, and every view of your progress is logged for you to see.
Before the daily insight comments on your completion rate, it looks at unplanned work, blockers and whether the plan was ever realistic.
