Nuvo helps you to reach your goals by building good habits and actually stick with them. Whether you want to read more, exercise regularly, or wind down earlier in the evening: create a habit, check in each day, and watch your streak grow. Nuvo stays deliberately simple. No cluttered menus, no gimmicks. Just you and your habits. WHAT NUVO OFFERS • No fixed schedule needed: you can build a streak without committing to a set frequency.

You decide what fits your life. • Streaks that are fair: with a weekly goal, missing a single day won't reset your progress. • Reminders exactly when you need them. One short notification at the right time is often all it takes. • Check in with Siri: just say it, no need to open the app. • Shortcuts and automations: connect your habits to real moments in your day, like getting home or finishing a workout. • iCloud sync: your data stays up to date on all your devices automatically. • Vacation mode: heading off for a while?
