Tadpole
Read full descriptionHide full description
Tadpole is a calm challenge tracker that measures consistency, not streaks. Miss a day and you don't start over. Tomorrow's a fresh page. Start a challenge: 30 days of running, 90 days of reading, a month without alcohol, daily guitar practice. Then answer one question each day: how did today go? DONE, PARTIAL OR MISSED One tap is enough. Did some of it? Log Partial. It counts for half, because something beats nothing. Forgot? You can still log yesterday until midnight. SEE YOUR PATTERN Every challenge gets its own calendar. Day by day the grid fills up, and you see when it went well, when it didn't, and that you kept going. CONSISTENCY, NOT PERFECTION Your consistency score shows how often you really showed up. Next to it: done, partial and missed days, your best streak and how far along you are. A TIMER WHEN YOU WANT ONE Give a challenge a timer, from 5 minutes to 2 hours. When time's up, the day is logged as Done. A Live Activity keeps it on your Lock Screen. LIFE HAPPENS Sick or away? Move a day, up to three times a week. That day becomes a rest day and doesn't count as missed. TOGETHER WITH FRIENDS Start a group challenge and invite friends straight from the app or with a code. Everyone logs their own day. You see each other's days and who's most consistent so far, and you can cheer each other on. When it ends, you get the results together. A CALM FEED Follow friends you know. Share a milestone or a result with photos or a short video, and give a cheer. Only people you approve can follow you, and every challenge stays private until you share it. LOG FROM YOUR LOCK SCREEN Widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen show today's challenges and how far you are. Log Done, Partial or Missed without opening the app. ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app shows today's challenges. Log with one tap and keep an eye on your day with a complication. QUIET REMINDERS Set a reminder per challenge. Days you've already logged are skipped. Gentle nudges come at most once in the morning and once in the evening, and you can turn each kind off. MORE WHEN YOU WANT IT Add a note, a photo or a number to any day: pages read, kilometres run, minutes practised. Or keep it to one tap. SHARE YOUR PROGRESS Turn a challenge into a clean story or sticker and share it anywhere, or straight to Instagram Stories. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads, no tracking. Personal challenges need no account and stay on your iPhone and Apple Watch. Friends, groups and the feed are optional and use Sign in with Apple.
