HABIT OR DIE!!!!

Features
Read full description

Every decision to start something new carries a life within it. “HABIT OR DIE!!!!” is an app that quietly—and mercilessly—records whether that decision is still alive… or has already faded away. This is not just another checklist. When you break a promise you made to yourself, that habit dies. A silent gravestone will be placed, marking the number of days you managed to keep going—the lifespan of that commitment. ● Features & World ● Birth of a Resolution Give your new habit a name and begin recording your daily progress. ● Proof of Life Complete your task each day, and your habit continues to live. ● End and Gravestone When the record stops, the habit meets its end. It will be engraved in the graveyard as the record of your challenge. This is not a meaningless failure—it is proof that you truly tried. ● A Forbidden Choice If you absolutely cannot bear to let that resolution die… there may be an option to save it— a “false life.” So many resolutions end after only three days. Yet even while looking at the growing rows of gravestones, we still choose to begin something new. How long will your current resolution survive? In this quiet world, your challenge awaits.
