## What is Yao!?

Challenge yourself today, change yourself tomorrow.

How it works
Set exactly one “Today’s Challenge” per day — tuned to a 50% success rate to keep you motivated and learning. Yao! visualizes the countdown to your deadline on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island (Live Activity), and boosts your commitment with optional community posts.

With automatic checklist suggestions and a balance (success rate) gauge, you can calibrate the difficulty of your daily goals to the sweet spot. Whether you’re pushing through hard work, regaining daily focus, or simply increasing your output, Yao! helps you keep going.

Winning is a habit. Daily challenges move your life to the next stage.

- Auto‑suggested checklists and safe phrasing for public sharing
- Countdown timer (in‑app, iOS Lock Screen widgets, Live Activity)
