Pick a goal: running, reading, meditation, or create your own — set a target (21 to 365 days), and check in each day with an optional photo. HOW IT WORKS • Choose from preset habits or create a custom goal • Check in daily to build your streak • 3 automatic freezes protect you if you miss a day • Pause once per goal if life gets in the way • Track your momentum score and progress percentage WALL OF PROOF Every check-in photo becomes part of your visual album — a wall of proof that you showed up. STAY FOCUSED Focus Mode limits your active goals so you don't spread yourself too thin. WIDGETS Home screen and lock screen widgets keep your goals visible throughout the day. PRIVACY FIRST Your data stays on your device. Optional anonymous analytics are fully opt-in and never shared with third parties.
