You become what you repeatedly do. Today's small things, repeated, compound into who you become. MyGrowth makes that visible. Instead of a to-do list you forget, you collect the statistics of your own life and watch showing up turn into progress. Track what matters, then watch it grow: - A heatmap that turns a year of effort into one honest picture - Per-habit statistics: consistency, averages, totals, days on target, best days - Streaks that understand your schedule, so a rest day never breaks them - Timers that keep running when you leave the app, live on your Lock Screen - Flexible tracking for any goal: daily, on set days, or whenever - Light and Dark themes, 25 languages, your own colors and icons on every habit Events: give every place, book, trip or concert its own color and watch a whole year of your life appear as one picture. All of your data stays on your device. No account, no cloud, no tracking. Just you and the proof that you are compounding into who you want to be. Start today. A year from now you will be glad you did. Privacy Policy: https://mygrowth.myellelab.com/en/privacy/ Terms of Use: https://mygrowth.myellelab.com/en/terms/
