Presson is a minimalist daily tracker built around one question: Did you press on today? Forget elaborate habit trackers, productivity dashboards, and guilt-trip notifications. Presson asks you to rate your effort on a simple 1-5 scale and trusts you to know what counts. WHY PRESSON Most apps measure output. Presson measures effort — because some days, just showing up is the win. Build a streak that reflects your real life, not a curated highlight reel. THE 5 LEVELS 1. Switched Off — Needed the day off 2. Touched It — Did something, even if small 3. Did The Work — Made meaningful progress 4. Pushed — Really pushed through today 5. Breakthrough — One of those rare exceptional days CORE FEATURES (FREE) • One-tap daily check-in with 5 effort levels • Add a private note, photo, or video to each day • Track current and longest streaks • Connect with friends for quiet accountability • Cross-device sync via iCloud — no email, no password • Dark mode by default GO PRO ($49.99/year) • Unlimited goals, not just one • Full check-in history (free tier shows 30 days) • Detailed insights — patterns, trends, distribution • AI-personalized reminders that reference your goals • 8 themes to make the app yours • CSV and PDF export of your check-ins • Streak Freeze — protect your streak once a month • Unlimited photos and videos PRIVACY FIRST No email. No password. No social login. Your account is tied to a device ID we generate randomly. We don't track you, sell your data, or use it to train AI models. Friends only see your effort level on shared check-ins — never your notes. THE PHILOSOPHY Anti-hustle. Every step moves the needle. Resting days are valid. What matters is that you keep pressing on. Press on.
