## What is Hero habits?

Hero is the habit tracker that keeps it simple and keeps you honest.

Pick one habit. Show up every day. Watch your streak grow.                                                                                                              
   
Whether you're building something new or breaking something old, Hero tracks both DO and AVOID habits so every kind of consistency counts. Check in daily, hit milestones at 7, 30, 100, and 365 days, and see exactly how consistent you've been with a full calendar history.

Now with friends. Follow people you trust, cheer their check-ins, and let accountability do what willpower can't. Your feed shows what the people you follow are building and they can see yours, unless you keep a streak private.

No cluttered dashboards. No overwhelming features. Just you, your habits, and a streak worth protecting.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.1 — 2026-08-03

Hero Habits — what's new since v1.3.0 (now 1.3.1)

Streak Rescue at check-in. If a streak is about to break, you're now offered a rescue before it breaks (not just after) — bridges the gap, keeps pending Hero Energy, and earns the day's HE in one atomic action.

Feed & charging improvements. Broken streaks in the Feed now show a clear "N days ago" badge instead of a charge button. Charging a friend's streak is capped at 50 HE/day per streak, enforced server-side and shown as a fill bar. The daily quote card now has a resilient fallback so it never goes blank if the schedule runs dry.

Navigation redesign — tab bar simplified from 5 tabs to 3 (Streaks / Feed / Superpowers):
- Superpowers got promoted to its own tab
- Search moved into the Feed header
- Profile and Settings are now reached via header icons (avatar / gear) instead of dedicated tabs
- Home renamed "Streaks" with a flame icon; header redesigned with a bigger HE badge
- The daily quote card now collapses to a slim "Daily Wisdom" bar after you dismiss it, and re-expands the next day
- Feed charging got a visual upgrade — the burst-per-tap effect was replaced with a sparkle riding the charge bar's fill edge

Bug fixes. Fixed a crash when opening/closing the daily quote card on newer iOS/Android builds (a New Architecture animation timing issue), and cleaned up the Profile header (bookmark icon relocated, removed a double-padding gap under the title).

### 1.3.0 — 2026-07-14

Hero just got a lot more social - and a lot more forgiving.

Cheer on your friends - with real impact
In the Feed, tap and hold the charge button on anyone's streak to send them Hero Energy. The more you send, the bigger the boost they receive. It's the best way to help the people you follow keep their momentum going.
