Log what you shipped.
Every day.
Post one line about something you finished, keep your streak going, and ship alongside people who notice when you don’t.
- One line a day

One line a day. That’s the whole habit.
- 01
Ship.
Log one thing you finished, in one line, past tense. Tag it with a #topic or a ◆ project, and add a screenshot if there is one.
- 02
Keep the streak.
Every day with a ship counts. Your day ends at midnight where you are, and one missed day a month is covered automatically.
- 03
Ship together.
Post to everyone, or only to your private groups. See who has shipped today, and nudge the ones who haven’t.
- 04
Look back.
Every week becomes a recap, and your profile keeps a calendar of every day you shipped.
It only takes
finished things.
No backlog, no boards, no due dates. Makeyard isn’t a to-do app — your log is a record of work, not a list of intentions. Plans are cheap. A year of small finished things isn’t.

Small private groups.
Share ships with the people you trust. The group page shows who has shipped today, and a nudge reaches the ones who haven’t.
- 02
Goals you hit together.
Ship 30 times as a group this week, ship on five different days, or make sure every member ships. Progress updates live.
- 03
A page for each thing you make.
Tag a ship with a ◆ project and it lands on that project’s page, a running changelog. Invite teammates, or keep it private.
- 04
Your week on one card.
Ships, active days and your busiest day, Monday to Sunday, for you and for each group. Flip back through every past week.
- 05
Ask people who ship.
Questions and longer posts, sorted by topic. Upvote the useful answers; whoever asked marks the one that worked.
- 06
Made for the phone, too.
A layout built for the phone, not a squeezed desktop. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app.

What counts as a ship?
Anything you finished that moved something forward: a fix, a sent email, a published post, a sketch, a hard conversation. If it’s done, it counts. If it’s a plan, it waits until it’s done.
What happens if I miss a day?
One missed day per calendar month is covered automatically, so your streak survives it. Miss a second day that month and the streak starts again from zero.
Who sees what I post?
You choose for every ship: everyone on Makeyard, or only the private groups you pick.
Is there an app?
There is nothing to download. Makeyard runs in the browser, and the phone gets its own layout rather than a shrunken desktop one — add it to your home screen for an icon and a full screen.
Do I need a group?
No. Post to everyone on Makeyard and follow the makers you like. When you want people who notice a missed day, start a private group and invite them.
