Red is a hand drawn habit tracker with real stakes. You want to adopt a red panda? Well the Matron wants real proof you can look after your own red panda. So keep your habits for 30 days and she’ll let him come home with you. Until then, he stays put. Red helps you keep track of the things you keep meaning to do, with a small, deeply concerned panda for motivation. ▶ Set daily, weekly or monthly habits. ▶ Check off your tasks and track progress towards weekly and monthly goals. ▶ Set reminders for the things you tend to forget. ▶ Earn Sad Bucks and buy fun customisations while he waits. New chairs, rugs, backgrounds. Make it weird. ▶ Negotiate with the Matron to change a habit or take a short break. You only get so many favours. ▶ Keep a family album of the pandas you’ve adopted... and the ones you haven’t. You only get three strikes, or the Matron takes him back. Hand-drawn characters, painted rooms, and a panda who would really appreciate you drinking that glass of water. Don’t let him down.
