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/

Winter separates the ones who talk from the ones who lock in. Winter Arc turns your daily discipline into a game you cannot afford to lose. Every habit you complete earns XP. Every level is proof. Every skipped day shows up on your record. BUILD THE SYSTEM Track habits across Body, Mind and Work. Tap to complete on Home, or hold for five seconds on the habit screen to make it count. No accidental check-ins. No faking it. New here? Onboarding builds a personalized starter plan from 10 habit templates so you can start grinding on day one. CLIMB FROM CHUD TO GOD XP fuels your level and your rank. There are 13 ranks across five tiers: Chud, Locked, Warrior, Master, God. Everyone starts at the bottom. Not everyone leaves. YOUR OVR DOES NOT LIE Your 1 to 99 OVR rating sits on a three-arc dial filled by your last 14 days of consistency. Show up and it climbs. Slack off and it drops. Simple. PROTECT THE STREAK A day counts when at least half your habits are done. Weekly day dots show exactly where you held the line and where you broke. SEE THE TRUTH IN YOUR STATS XP bar charts by week, month and year. A 12-week consistency heatmap. A full ranks ladder showing how far you have come and how far you have left.
