Deadline Dash vs Hush Habit

Deadline Dash isn't another to-do list. It's a countdown you can't ignore — and a consequence you can't talk your way out of. How it works Give yourself a task in one of three categories — Easy, Medium, Hard. The second you commit, a 24-hour countdown starts, and it lives right on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Not a reminder you can swipe away and forget. A running clock. Finish before time runs out — done. Miss it, or give up early — same result either way — and you burn one of your 3 lives in that category. Burn all 3, and the category locks. No free pass, no "try again tomorrow." You either buy your way back in, or that category stays locked. Three lives, not one Everybody misses sometimes. That's why each category gives you three real chances before anything locks — enough room to be human, not enough to stop caring. Your countdown, everywhere Live Activities keep your deadline visible on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island the whole time. Mark a task done right from the Island — no need to open the app. Add the widget to your Home Screen or Lock Screen and you'll never lose track, even after the Live Activity itself expires. Separate boards for separate lives One set of 3 categories is free, forever. Need to keep work deadlines and personal ones from bleeding into each other? Open a second or third board — each with its own Easy, Medium, and Hard, each with its own 3 lives. The Record Every task you finish or lose gets written down. Your win/loss record per category, your current streak, and — if you've lost any — the graveyard: every task you didn't finish, exactly as you wrote it, dated, struck through. Nothing to inflate your ego, nothing to hide behind. Just what actually happened. Deadline Dash is built for people who already know willpower alone doesn't work — and who'd rather put something real on the line than write another list they won't look at again.

Hush Habit is a private, local-first field journal for observing recurring routines. Define one behavior, write a working hypothesis, choose an interruption plan, and record what actually happened without streak pressure or an opaque score. PROTOCOL LAB Create a 3-to-30-day observation window with a baseline estimate, planned pause, replacement action, and reversible environment edit. Keep one protocol active at a time, review progress, and preserve completed protocols in an archive. CUE ATLAS Inspect direct counts from your saved observations: cue labels, time bands, outcomes, replacement use, observed days, and the median of urge values you entered. Every summary exposes its denominator and calculation boundary. SEARCHABLE JOURNAL Filter observations by cue or outcome, search notes and protocol names, edit records, and remove entries you no longer want. Sample records make the complete workflow reviewable from the first launch and disappear when you save your own work. SOURCE-LINKED PRACTICE DECK Browse 12 illustrated field exercises for cue snapshots, if-then plans, short pauses, replacement menus, environment edits, factual review, and bounded protocols. Five primary literature notes link directly to DOI source pages. PORTABLE, PRIVATE RECORDS Export a PDF field report, CSV observation rows, plain-text summary, or JSON workspace backup. Restore a backup by merge or replace. Optional local reminders are requested only after you enable them. No account, advertising, tracking, third-party analytics SDK, subscription, or developer-operated backend is required. Records stay in the app's local container unless you intentionally share an export. Hush Habit is a personal observation journal. It does not diagnose, prevent, or treat a medical or mental-health condition.
