Nice idea + execution!

I had a Fitbit and did 10K+ steps every day for 6+ months... until the day I broke my streak.

Thanks… and… damn!

I know how that feels. I had a similar experience with closing the "rings" on my Apple Watch. Kept it up for well over a year, missed one day, and I never found consistency again!

Would love to hear about your experience once you've had a chance to try out the app (if you do.)

I don't do 10K+ steps anymore (didn't notice a big difference after doing it for 6 months, nor after stopping.) But I will try using your app to track my daily exercise routine.

I think a useful feature would be to share your momentum with others. Wordle's share feature keeps some of my family members playing every day. And it's a nice way to get free "viral" marketing ;)
