The product

Habits that track themselves.

  • Visits record themselvesArrival and leave times, even with the app closed. Stops under three minutes don’t count.
  • Goals both waysMore gym, less late-night takeout: every goal is made of places.
  • Weeks, not daysWeekly targets, clear days and streaks counted in weeks, so one rest day never wipes out a month.
  • Hours and dollarsHours invested and money kept, never a score or points.
  • Groups, not trackingGroups see streaks and on-track days, never your places, visits or money saved.
  • A board for every placeSub-boards like Basketball at Eppley and Quiet Study at McKeldin, plus campus events on the map.
