The habit tracker for ADHD brains and everyone who falls off. Miss a day and your streak survives. No guilt, no reset to zero: Alined only asks one thing, don't miss twice. Most habit trackers live and die by the unbroken streak. Miss one day and it's back to zero, and that's usually when people quit. Alined counts what actually builds a habit: showing up most days, and coming back when you don't. Good weeks, off days and fresh starts all fit. MISS ONCE? YOUR STREAK SURVIVES. Your imperfect streak forgives a single miss. Two in a row breaks it, so the day after a slip Alined simply says: don't miss twice. HARD DAY? GO TINY. Give every habit a tiny version: one page, one glass, shoes on. On a low-energy day it still counts as showing up. FELL OFF? COME BACK IN GOLD. Coming back after a break is a comeback, and it's celebrated. Comebacks are drawn in gold on your year, and Insights shows how quickly you usually return. YOUR WHOLE YEAR ON ONE SCREEN Every day of the year at a glance, for each habit and all of them together. Momentum rises when you show up and eases off when you don't, so one bad day never wipes out a good month. MEET DOT Dot is one day from your year, with legs. Dot trips, takes tiny steps on hard days and turns gold when you come back. Just like you.
