14 Sep 2026 · Habit Tracker ($12) · buy with crypto $12 →

Shrink before you skip

'Read 20 pages' failing daily? 'Read 2 pages' succeeding daily beats it — momentum compounds, skipped days don't.

Current streak plus best streak plus weekly rate. A 5/7 week with one reset is a good week, and the scoreboard says so authoritatively.

Sample week including resets ships in the box. Habit Tracker ($12).
