Arc
Read full descriptionHide full description
Arc is a habit tracker for daily habits and goals you actually finish. Not another endless streak. You start a program, show up today, and close it. WHY ARCS WORK Most habit trackers never end. Arc does. Each Arc has a clear goal and a finish date, so your brain treats it like a real commitment — not a list you abandon in week two. Pick a program. Do a few tasks a day. Keep your streak. When life gets in the way, freezes and optional rest days keep you honest without breaking the rhythm. START WITH A PROGRAM • Winter Arc — 90 days of focus • 75 Soft — the 75-day challenge, sustainable • Dopamine Reset — 30 days less scrolling • 5AM Club — 21 quiet mornings • Book Sprint, Couch to 5K, Sober Month, 100 Days of Code • Or build your own Arc with your own tasks EVERY DAY, ONE SCREEN Today’s tasks. A streak you can see. A heatmap of the whole Arc. Progress photos that stay on your device. Optional Apple Health for steps and sleep, reminders, Home Screen widgets, and app locks until today’s work is done. Built for discipline, not dashboards. Privacy: your goals, tasks, and photos stay on your iPhone. Arc does not sell your data. Start your first Arc. Finish it. ——— Terms of Use: https://fahg-solutions.de/index.php/arc/arc-terms-of-service/
