Are you tired of tracking habits but never seeing results? Welcome to Compounding Habits. You may not see results in 1 week, or even 1 month. But the math guarantees you'll see an upgraded version of yourself in 3 months β€” and a transformed one in a year. THE 1% BETTER THEORY On Day 0, you are the baseline: 1. On Day 1, you show up and become 1.01. On Day 2, you improve again β€” not 1% of your original self, but 1% of your Day 1 self. Show up for n days in a row and you become (1.01)ⁿ. In other words: β€’ In 1 week β†’ (1.01)⁷ = 7% better β€’ In 1 month β†’ (1.01)³⁰ = 35% better β€’ In 3 months β†’ (1.01)⁹⁰ = 144% better (1.4Γ—) β€’ In 1 year β†’ (1.01)³⁢⁡ = 3,678% better (36.78Γ—) HOW IT WORKS Simply showing up for a habit counts as 1% better. You don't need a perfect 5-mile run or 3 hours of study. No matter the amount β€” if you show up, you have grown 1%. Each skip costs you 1% in the other direction. Your Momentum Score β€” your real compounding curve β€” is plotted live against the ideal path and the worst path. The gap between them is the point. FEATURES β€’ Track any habit with a personal "why" to stay anchored β€’ One-tap daily check-ins β€’ Live momentum graph β€” your curve vs. ideal vs. worst β€’ Calendar heatmap to visualize streaks and gaps β€’ Per-habit history and compounding score β€’ Clean, distraction-free black & white design Your 1% starts today.
