Introduction:
Paper is powerful—but sometimes, the support of a digital tool makes all the difference. That’s why we’re building the Bean-by-Bean App. In this blog, we’re taking you behind the scenes to share the why, the how, and the what’s next of our app journey.
Why the App Exists
The Bean-by-Bean Action Journal has already transformed the way people approach personal growth—one small, consistent step at a time. But what if you had a gentle digital guide that reminded you to show up, helped track your rituals, and celebrated your progress along the way?
Enter the Bean-by-Bean App.
We designed it to complement the physical journal, not replace it. The app offers:
- Gentle habit reminders
- Daily journal prompts
- Progress tracking
- Streak counters and affirmations
It’s not about doing more—it’s about staying aligned with what matters.
From Page to Pixels: Our Design Journey
Our app design is rooted in simplicity and beauty—just like the journal. We listened closely to early journal users and community members. Here’s what they asked for:
- A clean, calming interface
- A sense of daily accomplishment
- Optional nudges to help stay consistent
So we mapped out every page of the journal and translated it into a digital flow. Our team focused on making sure every screen feels like a breath of fresh air.
App Features to Look Forward To Here’s a preview of what’s coming:
- Daily Journal Prompts – Match the printed journal or use the app as a standalone guide.
- Habit Tracker – Visual streaks that grow each time you show up.
- Affirmations + Ritual Reminders – Optional notifications to keep you grounded.
- Progress Dashboard – See how far you’ve come, bean by bean.
You’ll also be able to favorite your best days, track specific goals, and set gentle time anchors for morning and evening rituals.
How We Used the Journal to Build the App
The coolest part? We built the app using the Bean-by-Bean method.
Instead of sprinting toward a deadline, we broke it down into:
- Day 1: Define the goal
- Week 1: Research user feedback and common needs
- Week 2–4: Small daily actions—wireframes, copywriting, user testing
- Daily journal check-ins to keep our mindset clear and aligned
We stayed rooted in our own tools—and it made the entire process feel less chaotic and more joyful.
