Once Today - One moment. Once per day.

by•
This app only works once per day. That’s not a bug. That’s the point. Once gives you one thing per day. When you open the app you receive a single thing. Maybe a thought a word a sound a question or maybe something harder to define. After that the app locks until the next calendar day. There is no scrolling, no feeds no history and no retries. What you see is what you get. Once. Once gives you a moment, then gets out of the way. Sometimes calm sometimes uncomfortable,sometimes thought-provoking.

Hey PH 👋 Once is an experiment in restraint. Most apps try to keep you scrolling, tapping, refreshing. Once does the opposite. You open it, you get one thing for the day. That’s it. It might be a thought, a word, a sound, a question, or something harder to name. Sometimes calm, sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes thought-provoking. There’s no feed. No history. No retries. What you see is what you get. Once. After that, the app locks until the next calendar day and gets out of your way. This isn’t about productivity or optimization. It’s about creating a small daily moment and then letting you return to your life. I’m curious how this lands with you: • Does the constraint feel refreshing or frustrating? • What did you get today? Happy to answer questions and hear honest reactions.
