Stop forcing things that drain you Motivation Streaks helps you track how your work actually feels—not just whether you showed up. Perfect for people who start lots of projects and need to separate fleeting ideas from the ones that actually light you up. Track energy, not discipline: After each session, log whether you felt motivated or unmotivated. The app shows your patterns over time with simple visual streaks and day-of-week insights. Permission to quit: When you log too many unmotivated sessions in a row, the app nudges you to reconsider. Life is too short to grind through things that don't energize you. Built for explorers: Great for people who are always trying new things—workouts, side projects, creative hobbies, learning goals. Use it to discover what actually motivates you instead of forcing perfect attendance. Features: • Simple motivated/unmotivated tracking • Streak counters that celebrate consistency • Day-of-week patterns to see when you're naturally energized • Customizable alerts when it might be time to move on • Clean, focused interface Find what lights you up. Let go of what doesn't.
