45 Hard is a 45-day habit challenge. Pick your goals, log every one of them every day, and keep the streak. Miss a goal on any day and the attempt ends; a new one starts the next day, unless the challenge allows missed days or turns resets off. Alone or with friends. Start a challenge for yourself, or share one with friends and run it together: everyone sees the same board, standings and feed, and can cheer each other on. Goals that fit your life. Water, workout minutes, reading, steps from Apple Health, vitamins, a daily progress photo, or a custom goal with your own name and target. Built to be honest. A day is your local date, and you can still log yesterday until 3 in the morning. Each day's result is decided once, on the server, so a shared board agrees on every phone. Private by default. Friends see what your sharing settings allow: challenges, calendar, today's goals, history, and progress photos only if you turn them on. Anyone else sees nothing unless you turn Public profile on. Block and report from any person's screen. Delete your account and everything in it from Settings. Finish 45 days and get a completion card with your totals and your first and last progress photos, ready to share. No ads, no analytics, no tracking.
