Remember sticking 30 notes on your bedroom door and tearing one off every day? The Challenge Board brings that ritual to your iPhone. PICK A CHALLENGE 7 Days Skincare. 30 Days Fitness. 75 Days Reading. Choose a length, add what you'll do each day, and your wall goes up — one note for every day. TEAR IT OFF When the day is done, grab today's note and pull. It bends, lets go, and flies off. A small, satisfying moment you'll look forward to. COMPLETION, NOT PERFECTION Did 3 of your 4 tasks? That still counts — and it's recorded honestly. Missed a day? Nothing resets. Day 13 comes after Day 12, like in real life. A LITTLE MEMORY FOR EACH DAY Add a few words ("Almost skipped it.") or a photo. Look back on your whole journey, compare Day 1 and the last day side by side. GENTLE REMINDERS One note in the morning, one in the evening at the time you choose — and nothing once today's note is torn off. ALSO • Several challenges at once, each on its own wall • Home Screen widget with today's note • Your history stays, with every note and photo • Dark Mode, Dynamic Type, VoiceOver • No account, no ads. Everything stays on your iPhone. PREMIUM Your first wall and its first note are free. Premium unlocks every day and every wall, with a 7-day free trial.
