좋은 루틴을 꾸준히 달성하고 싶으나, 실행하기 힘든 사용자를 위한 앱입니다. 달성하고자 하는 루틴을 최대한 쉽게 설정하고, 루틴을 실행하기까지의 과정을 체크포인트로 세분화 하여 루틴을 생성합니다. 달성하고자 하는 요일, 시간에 알람이 울리면, 사용자는 각 체크포인트에 해당하는 사진을 찍어 앱에 게시합니다. 체크포인트를 따라 사진으로 기록하다 보면 어느새 루틴을 달성하고 있는 자신을 발견할 수 있을 것입니다. 달성한 체크포인트 사진은 히스토리 앨범에서 모아서 보며 그동안 달성한 루틴을 한 눈에 돌아볼 수 있으며, 동기부여를 받을 수 있습니다. 또한, 사용자는 루틴의 성격에 따라 각 루틴을 그룹화 하여 특정 기간 동안에는 루틴을 비활성화 해두거나 모아서 관리할 수 있습니다.
