How we designed a distraction-free planning app built around a single daily habit

Most productivity tools overwhelm users with features that get in the way of actually planning. Domani needed a focused app experience that reduced decision fatigue and encouraged one simple nightly ritual: setting tomorrow’s priorities before bed. The challenge wasn’t building another task manager — it was designing an experience intentionally constrained enough that the planning habit itself became effortless. Every existing solution on the market offered too many features, too many options, and too many reasons to stop planning and start organizing instead.

We designed a minimal interface around a single workflow — plan tonight, execute tomorrow. Every design decision was tested against whether it aided or interrupted the planning habit. The app was built for iOS and Android simultaneously using React Native, with a shared component library that ensured visual consistency across platforms. We focused on reducing the nightly interaction to under two minutes, using behavioral design principles like streaks, plan locking, and progressive disclosure to keep the experience focused without feeling restrictive.
