What it is

Each day, Deedbell calls you to one good deed: a small, concrete act of giving, meant for others, the world, or yourself. Keep it in mind through the day, or let a bell call you back to it. What you do with it is yours.

The premise

Most of what we're offered for a better life turns us inward: count your streaks, stay plugged in, retreat into comfort. Deedbell leans on an older idea, one that shows up in nearly every tradition people have kept: we are shaped by what we give.

Keeping it free

Deedbell has no investors, no tracking, and no ads. If you have the means and wish to help cover the costs of keeping it running and free for everyone, you can support it as a benefactor.

Deedbell is made by Calin. Thoughts, a deed to suggest, or a bell that misbehaved: calin@deedbell.com

Your deeds stay yours.

The app

Deedbell for iPhone and Apple Watch collects nothing. Your themes, your bells and the day's deed stay on your devices, and bells notify you from the phone itself, not from a server. There is no account, no tracking and no ads.
