life is not a
straight race track.
tinyexp turns your days into tiny experiments — small, time-boxed commitments you actually keep. No streaks. No guilt. Just footprints on a map that only you can draw.
today
“I will sketch for 5 minutes, for 3 days”
“One tiny step is still a footprint.”
the philosophy
goals are a bad map for a curious life.
Neuroscientist Anne-Laure Le Cunff proposes something lighter than SMART goals: a PACT — a tiny, time-boxed experiment you run on your own life.
Purposeful
Meaningful to you — not to your feed.
Actionable
Doable today, with what you already have.
Continuous
Repeatable, small enough to refuse nothing.
Trackable
One binary answer: I went, or not yet.
Streaks & guilt
Rest stops as data
A missed day is never a broken chain — it is information about the terrain.
Rigid life scripts
Curiosity as compass
Drop The Sequel, The Crowdpleaser and The Epic. Follow what pulls you.
Outcome obsession
Process over outcome
You commit to the walking, not to the finish line you cannot control.
Linear ladders
Widening spirals
Each closed cycle opens a bigger one: 3 days → 14 → 100 → a living legacy.
inside the app
a companion, not a tracker.
Everything is built around one loop: commit small, walk it, reflect, then steer — persist, pause, or pivot.
The Fog-of-War map
Every experiment is a land with a winding trail. Each footstep lifts the fog; the next land waits beyond it.
Voice-first capture
Say a messy thought out loud. Tiny untangles it into a field note, tiny prep steps and a ready-to-run PACT.
A notebook per land
Day-by-day pages you can search by keyword, tag or a date range — your journey, legible at a glance.
The Spiral Path
Initiator → Explorer → Pioneer → Creator. Lands flourish when you tend them, and fade when you do not.
Kairos Moments
Short guided pauses — breath, tea, a reset walk — that open the right-moment instead of the clock.
Guided Trails
Multi-day trails that teach the method itself: one 1-minute read plus one tiny step a day.
Journey calendar
A month of footprints, rest stops and closed cycles — tap any day to reread what happened.
Curiosity attractors
Tiny notices the themes you keep circling back to, and points at what quietly matters to you.
meet tiny
the little dot that walks beside you.
Tiny never scores you and never counts chains of days. It asks the right question at the right moment — inside a lesson, inside a stuck experiment, inside a pause — and keeps your map while you live your life.
the loop
four moves, then it widens.
Unlearn the old scripts
Swipe The Sequel, The Crowdpleaser and The Epic into a black hole — plus anything of your own you want to release.
Wake the curiosity compass
Speak or type what makes you curious right now. Tiny turns it into one small PACT you can start today.
Walk it, one footstep a day
Answer a single binary question inside your Kairos window. Rest stops count as data, never as failure.
Close the cycle & steer
Reflect in 3 minutes — plus, minus, next — then persist, pause or pivot. A wider land opens.
the spiral path
you don’t climb. you expand.
Finish a cycle in full and the land levels up — unlocking longer, braver journeys. Neglect it and it quietly fades back. Reach Creator and an experiment can graduate into a scheduled part of your life.
“Closing a cycle isn’t an ending — it’s steering.”
the source
built on a book worth reading twice.
tinyexp is an independent companion inspired by Tiny Experiments: How to Live Freely in a Goal-Obsessed World. Every concept in the app links back to the idea it came from — so curiosity always has somewhere deeper to go.
“I loved this profound, practical, and generous book.”
