Gradualist is not a habit tracker. It's a structured approach to building real capability through intentional, staged progression. Most productivity apps treat every day the same — you either check the box or break your streak. This creates anxiety, not growth. Gradualist is fundamentally different. HOW IT WORKS Instead of repetitive tasks, you build Practices. Each practice follows a structured Blueprint that defines how your habit scales over time. You start at Stage 1, master the foundation, then evolve through stages until you reach your final goal. If you miss a day, you don't lose anything — you simply resume your current stage. BLUEPRINTS & TEMPLATES Every practice is powered by one of four Blueprint types (or combined for complex needs): • Linear — Track a single metric that grows each stage. Perfect for meditation, running, or reading goals that scale gradually. • Sequential — Break a list of items into expanding chunks. Ideal for memorizing speeches, learning vocabulary, or mastering recipes. • Rotational — Rotate through themed days with targets that scale over time. Built for gym routines like Push/Pull/Legs splits. • Habit — The simplest blueprint. No numbers, no sequences — just consistency tracking for practices like journaling or stretching. Choose from curated Templates to get started instantly, or build your own Blueprint from scratch and customize it to fit your lifestyle. KEY FEATURES • Stage-based progression that compounds your capabilities over time • Four distinct Blueprint types for different kinds of growth • Curated template library to start without guesswork • Hold-to-Log gesture with progressive haptic feedback • Time-aware interface that adapts to your daily rhythm • Beautiful, minimal design with zero visual clutter • Fully offline — all data stored locally on your device • No ads, no trackers, no accounts required Compound interest applies to capabilities too. Start your journey.
