“If you want to change your life, change your routine.”

Recently, I was asked to review The Brite Productivity App and was very happy to accept.

For context, The Brite App is a productivity app and an all-in-one daily planner. Unlike Instagram influencers who preach about productivity, Brite offers a practical, user-friendly platform to enhance your efficiency.

Now, with any good review, you should know something about the person reviewing it, which, of course, means me. Personally, I’ve always been someone who can be described as organized chaos.

When I am inevitably asked the “how organized are you?” questions of the world, I would calmly say, I’m a 6 with 8 potential. I’ll get the job done, but it won’t be color-coded organized like an over-ambitious assistant — I’m pretty minimalistic in that regard. However, after using the Brite App, I can confidently say I’m a 10.

The Brite App is an all-in-one organizational app and daily planner that, if used correctly, makes it nearly impossible not to be organized. You just have to want it. And with the vast array of tools the app provides, you too can be super organized both personally and professionally.

My first impression of Brite

The thing no one tells you about getting organized and planning your life is that it forces you to come to terms with how unorganized you actually are.

Sure, we all have our routines, we all have the timer of things we need to do, constantly ticking away in our head, but to see it all in one place was jarring in the best way. Which is what Brite does — it allows you to see your day, your goals, and your habits all in one place.

My first impressions of Brite are similar to the ones I’ve had when I’ve started my book: it’s a blank canvas filled with possibilities. Brite forces you to ask the questions, “What do I want to see? What do I want to be more organized with? What do I want to measure?” and essentially gives you a workspace to dissect your life all on one screen, which is immediately helpful.

What Brite Does Well: The Best Productivity Features 2024

Brite shines… wait for it… bright in many ways. For starters, you know the expression, “There’s an app for that”?

Well, Brite is all those productivity apps rolled into one. Brite combines the best features of many apps and puts them all in one place.

Imagine a blank canvas ready to be transformed into anything you desire. Brite offers over 20 unique features within its app, empowering you to create a personalized, all-encompassing productivity hub:

· Habit tracker

· Goal Tracker

· To do list

· Meditation guides

· Budget management tools

· Mood Dairy

· Daily Note

· Photo Journal

· Project management tools — including Kanban and Eisenhower matrix views

· Ambient sounds for focusing

· and more! You can find all the features in the app.

Brite caters to the needs of any user striving to organize their life:

– Are you a calendar person who likes to see your day?

Great — Apple Calendar, Outlook, and Google Calendar sync with Brite.

– Are you a note-taker who has 2,674 random notes floating around in your phone?

You can organize your notes more easily with Brite.

– Are you someone who likes to get prompted with questions for reflection and diary work?

Brite can help you with that.

– Do you want to set the difficulty level and priority of tasks?

Brite can help you with that too.

– Or maybe you’re a writer itching to try out the Pomodoro technique — guess what?

Brite has that, too.

Essentially, Brite takes everything you’d ever want from a productivity app and puts it all in one place, so you’re not juggling different apps, which is a tremendous time saver.

Seriously, how many apps do you have floating around on your phone? With Brite, you can condense about 4 or 5 of them into one.

For example, I use their project manager feature to help keep me on track with my book and their diary features primarily because, for me, it fits my life.

Intuitive and User-Friendly Interface

Now I know what you’re thinking — an all-in-one planning tool must be complicated, right? Wrong.

Brite is very user-friendly — so much so that I showed the app to my dad, who’s 85 years old and the last person you’d call for tech help, and with some coaching, he could pick it up within 10 minutes. This man was born before WW2 mind you.

The interface is intuitive. Want to add a tool? Click edit. Want to see only certain tasks? Drag and drop or minimize them. No tech expertise is required; just follow your hunch — more likely than not, you’re going to get it right.

Instead of shuffling between multiple apps to find what you’re looking for, you can see your life at a glance anytime you want. It’s all there, laid out beautifully, saving you time and mental energy.

If you’re anything like me, someone who’s constantly juggling the clutter of life — the bills, the work projects, personal goals, household goals, health, wealth, and all the blocks that build up your life — being able to see it all in one place is immediately helpful.

My Top 3 Favorite Features

· Diary Note: Well, surprise, surprise — my favorite feature is the diary aspect. As a writer, I love diving into my thoughts, and Brite’s prompts make it easier for me to explore my mind. It’s like having a conversation with yourself without feeling crazy.

· Project Management: I also love the project management feature. I’m wrapping up my first fiction book, and Brite helps me keep everything on track. Something that I’ve truthfully been struggling with as there really are many moving parts in a book.

· Pomodoro Timer: The Pomodoro button is another favorite. This time management method is a classic for writers, and having it integrated into Brite is a huge plus.

And let’s not forget the satisfaction of completing tasks. There’s something incredibly rewarding about hitting that check-off button and watching your task get scratched off. It’s a dopamine rush I crave and actually motivates me to use the feature. Who doesn’t like scratching an item off their to-do list right?!

Why Use Brite, And What Are The Advantages?

So, the all-important question — why should you use Brite? Well, because it’s everything you want it to be and everything you don’t want it to be, which gives you an unrivaled sense of control over your life.

Final Thoughts

There’s no downside to being organized and being more productive. You never once overheard someone say, “Geeze Mary, my life really sucks after getting more organized.” Which is why it’s important and preached in self-development circles. All it takes is a bit of effort and having some tools to make it easier.

The bottom line: You bring the effort, Brite brings the tools, and you have a winning partnership.

It’s a 10/10.

Seriously. See yourself:
