## What is Kudos Habits?

KUDOS isn’t a productivity app or to-do list. It’s a personalized framework that helps you to stay on top of the choices you make throughout your day. Kudos was designed to help you be more aware of and accountable to your daily choices and how *you* frame habits & rewards.

CELEBRATE PROGRESS in a flexible and encouraging way.

BUILD MOMENTUM at your own pace.

Celebrate every small step with POSITIVITY and PERSONALIZED REWARDS.

KUDOS IS DESIGNED BY
AND FOR NEURODIVERGENT PEOPLE

Kudos is especially helpful for neurodivergent users, ADHD and AuDHD brains, folks with Pathological Demand Avoidance (aka Persistent Drive for Autonomy), and anyone who feels boxed in by rigid systems and routines that don’t accommodate their needs and style.

DESIGNED FOR ACCESSIBILITY
Kudos was designed with options for size, font, color, sound, and support for iOS accessibility features. 
Kudos includes the Open Dyslexic font, accessible themes, and custom UI options to fit your specific needs.

DESIGNED FOR REAL BRAINS
Because habit tracking should support how your brain works, not how someone else thinks it should.

Whether you experience executive dysfunction, demand avoidance, or need more accessible tools, Kudos helps you create change with flexibility, personalization, and compassion.

FLEXIBLE & LOW PRESSURE
Kudos is designed to be quick, intuitive, and forgiving. It adapts to your natural way of thinking and working – rather than forcing you into a rigid system – making it easier to stay engaged. 

MOMENTUM > SHAME
Kudos is not built to guilt or shame you into change. Instead, it emphasizes mindfulness, positive reinforcement, and self-kindness – supporting your growth in a way that feels sustainable and encouraging.

KUDOS IS DIFFERENT:
• Complete a habit to earn points
• Redeem rewards that actually mean something to you
• Assign point values to habits and rewards based on what they’re worth to you
• Choose how well you did
    - Best effort
    - Good try
    - Missed habit (that’s okay!)
• No due dates
• No shame, just honesty & accountability
• Leave gentle reminders for your future self after a missed habit
• Access a growing set of themes, sounds, and fonts, including options for color blindness and a dyslexia-friendly font
• View your Kudos Score, track streaks and stats, and reflect on your growth
• Home screen widgets, Apple Watch support, and reminder notifications help you remain accountable to your goals wherever you are
