No idea why. Still walking. Trudge is a habit challenge for people who quit after one bad day. Pack up to 3 small rules, then walk a Trudge toward the Mountains, one day at a time. Miss a day? It's a storm, not a reset. You never start over. Winter Trudge runs Oct 1 – Dec 31. Starting late? Fine. Day one is whenever you start. Or begin a 30-Day Trudge on any day of the year. ON THE TRAIL • Footprints: hold the button to leave today's footprint. A real thud, real haptics, one day closer to the Mountains. • Storms: a missed day is logged "STORM — SHELTERED". No red X, no guilt, no reset. • Comebacks: your first day back is stamped "BACK ON THE ICE" and earns double Aura. • Pack light: 3 small rules, not 10. "After coffee, I read 10 pages." • The Pledge: sign it, let a witness co-sign, seal it with Addie's footprint. • The Trail: every day of your Trudge on one map, leading to the Mountains. • Postcards: a 9:16 share card for every day, plus a cinematic cut. • Field Report: your week on one page. • Season recap: your footprints, comebacks and Aura, zero resets. • Widgets: your trail, an interactive footprint button, and Day X/92 on the Lock Screen. HOW IT WORKS 1. Tell Addie, a penguin with somewhere to be, what stopped you last time. 2. Pack up to 3 rules and seal the pledge. 3. Leave today's footprint. It takes 10 seconds. FREE, FOR REAL Tracking, footprints, widgets and postcards are free: one Trudge, up to 3 rules, every storm and every comeback. TRUDGE PRO (OPTIONAL) • Progress photos: a Day 1 vs Day N compare card • Comeback Coach: suggests a smaller rule after two storms • Up to 5 rules, and up to 5 Trudges at once • Postcards without the watermark • Alternate app icons Pro comes as an annual subscription with a 7-day free trial, or a monthly subscription.
