A challenge isn't about "changing your life in a month." It's about "trying 30 days and seeing what happens." ChallengeUp is an app for short challenges: ready-made ones from 7 to 90 days, custom ones for any length. No endless "lifelong" trackers, no promises of a "new you." Just a clear format: pick a challenge, cross the finish line, see the result. WHAT'S INSIDE 10 ready-made challenges, free. From "no sugar" to "sleep before midnight," from "read every day" to "learn a foreign language." Each one comes with a clear description — what to do, why, and what to expect. Build your own in 30 seconds. Name, duration, frequency, reminders — and you're ready. No required fields, no endless setup screens. A finish line that motivates. Every challenge ends. It's not the "forever habit" that wears you out by week three. It's a defined distance with a finish — and the feeling of "I did it." Progress cards for social media. Share your wins with people who matter — close ones, friends, followers. Get support when you need it, and lock in the result by saying it out loud. The cards are drawn so they're a pleasure to share. No ads. Ever. Not in the free version, not anywhere else. ChallengeUp Plus When the free version isn't enough: — Unlimited active challenges (up to 3 in free) — Expanded catalog of exclusive challenges, with more added over time — Duration up to 1000 days — nearly three years of practice, for those who want to go long — Home screen widget — Additional colors and customization — Support for an independent dev team WHY A CHALLENGE Most habit trackers are built on the idea of a "forever" habit — you should brush your teeth or meditate every day for the rest of your life, and a single miss breaks everything. This rarely works, because the brain isn't built for infinite distances. According to Lally et al. (2009), a stable habit forms in about 66 days, not the often-cited 21. A short challenge is a way to cover that distance without burning out: with a visible finish, and the right to stop if it's not for you. ChallengeUp is an independent app. We're not building "another habit tracker." We're building the app we'd want to use for our own challenges: no fluff, no features for the sake of features, no pointless push notifications. Just what works.

Пограничное расстройство личности (ПРЛ) может существенно повлиять на жизнь человека, от тревожных мыслей и эмоций до деструктивного поведения. Без надлежащего лечения эти симптомы могут со временем ухудшиться и привести к серьезным проблемам, таким как злоупотребление психоактивными веществами или членовредительство. Данное мобильное приложение основано на Диалектической поведенческой терапии (ДБТ) — это лучший вариант для людей с ПРЛ. Он предлагает основанный на фактических данных подход к лечению ПРЛ, который направлен на то, чтобы помочь людям освоить более здоровые стратегии выживания, а также обеспечить принятие, сочувствие и понимание себя. Благодаря ДБТ Peace те люди, которые испытывают проблемы с осознанностью, с регуляцией эмоций, межличностных коммуникациях и со совладанием кризиса, смогут улучшить качество своей жизни и построить ту жизнь, которую хочется жить. Приложение направлено не только на людей с пограничным расстройством личности, оно также подойдет для людей с другими диагнозами (депрессия, биполярное расстройство, СДВГ и другие), а также для тех, кто хочет регулировать осознанность с помощью аудио упражнений. Приложение состоит из нескольких частей: Упражнения на осознанность, межличностную эффективность, эмоциональную регуляцию и стрессоустойчивость. Дневник эмоций. План безопасности с возможностью звонка психотерапевту. Статьи о пограничном расстройстве личности и ДБТ. Данное приложение не заменяет терапию, но может помочь тем, кто проходит терапию, закончил терапию или быть карманной помощью для тех, кто еще не может позволить себе полноценную ДБТ терапию.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ДБТ PEACE at none against ChallengeUp's 2. ДБТ PEACE also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 89%) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 16.0). ChallengeUp's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and ratings volume (38 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ChallengeUp holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ChallengeUp has 38 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of ChallengeUp's written reviews are positive against 100% of ДБТ PEACE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
