Formly is a habit tracker for people who want to actually keep their habits, not collect points, decorate avatars, or feed a virtual pet. It's quiet, fast, and built around a single idea: show up today. โ€”โ€”โ€” WHAT YOU GET - A clean Today view. Your habits, your streaks, one tap to tick. - Calendar at a glance. Every perfect day, every miss, visible at a tap. - Smart Stats. Weekly trends, perfect-day counts, consistency by habit. - Journal. A private space for notes, reflections and goal-setting, organised the way you think. - Friends and Group Challenges. Run 75 Hard, 75 Soft or build your own challenge with up to 10 friends.

X-of-Y done, fills as you go. - Streak milestone celebrations. 7, 14, 30, 50, 100, 365 days, each one earns its own moment. - Universal Clipboard pairing.

Most apps start with what you should do. Changed starts with who you are. YOUR MENTAL STATE FIRST Changed does not hand you a routine. It reads where you are โ€” your energy, your stress patterns, your emotional baseline โ€” and builds your daily practice from that foundation using AI. Not a template. Not a program. An AI system that adapts to you. YOUR ARCHETYPE. YOUR PATH. During onboarding, Changed's AI maps your psychology and assigns you an archetype โ€” Warrior, Sage, Rebel, or Mystic. Your tools, your prompts, your tone โ€” everything aligns to how you actually process the world. FIVE MODES. ONE APP. Changed has five AI-adaptive modes that reshape how the entire app feels and works: Truth Mode โ€” maximum clarity, no excuses, no softeners Awareness Mode โ€” gentle observation without judgment Shadow Mode โ€” explore what you have been avoiding Fork Mode โ€” clarity when you are facing a real decision Continuity Mode โ€” accelerate when things are finally working YOUR FULL TOOLKIT Daily reflection with AI-adaptive prompts Cognitive reframing โ€” CBT-based exercises powered by AI Emotion Compass โ€” map emotional patterns over time Journal with adaptive prompts Crisis Kit โ€” grounding tools for hard moments Future Self visualization Daily challenges and insight cards Micro wins Levels and achievements THIS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE Changed is for the person who has read the books, downloaded the apps, and still feels like they are performing growth rather than living it. If you want a checklist, this is not it. If you want to know yourself better than you do right now โ€” download Changed.
