How much have you actually grown? Now you can see it. Abilit isn't an app that hoards todos. It makes your growth visible. You get 12 points a day, so you focus only on what truly matters. The moment you finish a task, a bead is born and settles into your gemstone. When a quarter ends, the beads harden into a layer. Layers stack into your own growth rings. The vague "I worked hard today" becomes growth you can actually see. No ranks, no grades. The only comparison is yesterday's you. How your growth becomes visible • Gemstone: finished tasks become beads that grow into one stone. Color is the ability, size is the points • Ability levels: completions build experience and levels, with no cap • Growth curve: the arc of each ability, drawn as a chart • Discovery: every quarter, 90 days of your records tell you who you were • Lenses: see the shape of your time in a calendar and a 24-hour spiral • Widgets and menu bar: check tasks right from your home screen or menu bar • iCloud sync: continue seamlessly between iPhone and Mac Privacy Your task titles and ability names stay on your device and in your personal iCloud. They are never sent to our servers. Abilit Plus (monthly or yearly subscription, or one-time lifetime purchase) All monthly and quarterly lookbacks, gemstone replay, weekly templates. Every future Plus feature is included. Subscription details • Abilit Plus Monthly: renews every month • Abilit Plus Yearly: renews every year Abilit Plus Monthly and Yearly both start with a 7-day free trial for first-time subscribers. Your Apple Account is charged when the trial ends, or when you confirm the purchase if you are not eligible for the trial. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you turn off renewal at least 24 hours before the trial or the current period ends. You can do that anytime in your App Store settings. Lifetime access is a one-time purchase, with nothing to renew.
