Baseline

Baseline is a discipline tracker with one organizing idea: some inputs build you, some drain you. Log both, and they resolve into a single baseline trend, a streak, and a rank you earn one held day at a time. WHAT YOU TRACK • Build: training, deep work, cold exposure, sauna, fasting windows, morning sunlight, reading • Drain: alcohol, nicotine, junk food, doomscrolling, late-night screens • Add your own inputs and set what each one is worth (Pro) HOW IT WORKS • One-tap logging: tap to log, hold to undo • Two columns, one number: build and drain resolve into a single baseline trend • Streak: consecutive days you hold your target. Miss, and it resets • Rank: a permanent ladder from Soft to Diamond, earned from total held days. It only climbs • Home screen widgets keep the number in sight PROTOCOLS Run one commitment at a time: Dry 31, Monk Mode, Dawn Patrol, The Long Haul (75 days, few finish), or build your own rules (Pro). Miss a day, the protocol breaks. Finish, and it goes on your record. THE RECORD TALKS BACK • The Debrief: a monthly after-action report. Days held, best streak, rank at close, what anchored you. Shareable • Deep reads (Pro): the drain behind your missed days, your week against your month, how one miss becomes two • The grid: every day as a square. Tap any day for its full breakdown • The guard nudge (Pro): warned before your statistically weak day BUILT DIFFERENT Most habit apps hand out confetti. Baseline keeps a ledger: two columns, one baseline, framed for discipline, not celebration. MADE FOR • Those rebuilding after cutting alcohol, nicotine, screens, or other cheap inputs • Anyone trading easy wins for earned discipline • People who want one number to move, not a spreadsheet PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no login, no cloud: everything stays on your device • Works fully offline. Export your data anytime PRICING • Free: the full core loop. Log, streak, rank, protocols, the monthly Debrief • Pro, Yearly or one-time Lifetime: deep reads, the guard nudge, build-your-own protocols, custom weights and inputs, full trend history, themes • Restore purchases anytime, no account required You quit the cheap dopamine.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ding at none against Baseline's 2. Baseline's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
