Systems, not streaks

Design the day, then let it run.

minihabits helps you keep going by building systems, not chasing habits. Each system rides a routine you already have, has a floor you can always hit, and earns momentum over time. One off day never resets you.

Design, run, tune, review

Design

Name who you are becoming, not the chore. Pick an anchor, a pattern you already repeat, and set a floor and a lift.

Run

On Today, log the floor or the lift with one tap. Both keep your momentum.

Tune

The app reads how the system actually ran and offers one gentle adjustment.

Review

Once a week, see a momentum recap, write a short reflection, and read suggestions drawn from your own data.

Momentum, not streaks

A streak punishes the day you only managed the minimum and resets to zero when life gets in the way. minihabits shows momentum over a trailing window with a resilience percentage. Showing up counts, and one bad day does not undo the rest.

Why it feels different

• Anchors: every system rides a pattern you already repeat.
• Floor and lift: a two-tier check-in, not a checkbox.
• Tune: one gentle adjustment drawn from your real behavior.
• The daily note: a Capture, Connect, Next structure linked to your systems.
• Accountability links: share a read-only progress page, no account needed.
• AI weekly synthesis: a digest that names the patterns behind your slips.
