You’ve done this before. Day 1 is easy. Then you miss a day, then two, and by day 12 nobody’s counting anymore. Including you. V-click does the counting. How it works: 1. Pick a challenge and how many days it lasts: 7, 21, 30, 100. “30 days” is easier for your brain than “forever”. Not sure? Start with 7 and extend when you’re ready. 2. Tap once a day. That’s the whole job. 3. Watch the calendar fill up. The longer the row of ticks, the harder it is to break. Already started? Add the challenge by start date or by days done. V-click counts the rest. What you get: • Any daily challenge, with a metric (meditate 10 min/day) or without (just meditate) • A calendar inside every challenge • Long-press a day to log mood, an insight or a daily goal • Reminders so you don’t break the chain • A journal with every note and insight in one place • Your progress as an image with a progress bar, ready to share • A quote with a touch of humor every time you check a day. There are 203 of them. • iCloud sync between your devices Free to start. Premium unlocks unlimited challenges and your full history. Pick one challenge. Start today.
