Keep track of successful days and habit streaks, with reminder notifications to help you take the next step. ■ No. 1 Habit Building App in Japan This app is the top-ranked habit-building app in Japan across the following criteria: ① Number of total downloads publicly disclosed ② Number of documented successful habit streaks ③ Average rating on the App Store ④ Number of App Store reviews ■ Key Goals Sustained with This App 1.

Support for Setting "Continuable Goals" Recognizing the fact that motivation to sustain actions inevitably weakens over time, the app encourages setting goals that can be consistently pursued every day. It prevents the problem of setting unattainable goals driven by initial enthusiasm, thus avoiding the failure of plans. Unlike traditional to-do lists or task management tools, the app only allows you to set one goal at a time. 2. Three Seconds to Record With a simple (some might say overly simple) design, all you need to do is open the app and tap on the pie chart to complete your input of your record. You'll be greeted by cute stick-figure comments that provide encouragement every day. 3. Reminder Notifications at Best Timing If your goal is to "read a book," for example, you'll receive reminder notifications at convenient times like during your daily commute. This helps prevent any lapses in taking the necessary actions. 4. Celebrate Success at 30 Days Once you achieve your goal, you'll be celebrated with great enthusiasm. It establishes moderate milestones like a "30-day Ab Challenge" to prevent falling into a state of complacency and encourages you to maintain motivation by saying, "Let's keep going from here!" ■ Software License Agreement https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Everyone has their own unique ideals. There are various aspirations out there. However, regardless of the specific goals, it is always beneficial to acquire the "technique of consistency" in order to prevent any losses of time and enthusiasm. By relying on concrete techniques to sustain actions and develop habits, you will be able to work towards realizing your important ideals without solely relying on motivation and willpower. It will be our sincere pleasure if you acquire such skills and contribute even a little bit to your journey towards achieving your goals.
