- Pick the apps that steal your time. They stay locked until you complete your daily habits.
- Every habit pays: finish a fast +30 min, log a workout +30, hit your calorie target +30, hit your water goal +15.
- During a fast, or once you're over your calorie budget, your chosen food-delivery apps lock too.
- Which apps you lock never leaves your device. And if your subscription ever ends, everything unlocks automatically.
FASTING
- Set a fasting window, like 16:8, or any schedule you want. A live timer counts down while you fast, a timeline shows what your body is doing as the hours pass, and you can see your last few days at a glance.
WORKOUTS
- Log a workout and get an automatic calorie burn estimate. Steps count too, and can add to your daily calorie budget if you choose to do so.
NUTRITION
- Take a photo of your meal and get a calorie and macro estimate. Or scan a nutrition label, scan a barcode, or just describe what you ate in a sentence. Every meal breaks down into ingredients you can edit by hand.
HYDRATION
- Set a daily water target and log a glass or a bottle in a single tap, in millilitres or ounces. Undo a mistake just as fast, and watch the day fill up.
STAY ACCOUNTABLE
- Start a chat and bring your friends along the ride. Share your progress daily to keep each other serious.
PROGRESS OVER TIME
- Charts for weight, fasting hours, workouts, and calories, plus trends, averages, and your on-track rate, so you can see how things are trending, not just today's numbers.
