12 CHALLENGES
Everyone makes it three days.
Day four is where it usually falls apart. 12 Challenges shows you where you stand at a glance. One tap a day, nothing more.
Not another all-in-one tracker. One method, perfected.
There are thousands of habit trackers trying to be everything at once: journal, mood tracker, coach, community. 12 Challenges does exactly one thing on purpose, the 12-challenges method: twelve 30-day goals a year. Done properly, in the style of a native Apple app.
The streak pulls you along
Every finished day fills another pearl in the chain. One glance tells you it’s worth keeping going.
What a circle is, and why you stick with it
Every challenge runs for 30 days. Every day is a circle: empty or filled, nothing in between. Tap it in the evening, done. The calendar view shows every circle of the month at a glance. The streak just counts how many days in a row you didn't miss.
Why that keeps you going is very human: once you've done 10 days in a row, you don't want to throw that away. Losing a streak feels worse than one more day feels good, so you keep tapping. And don't worry: missing one day won't ruin everything. There's a one-day edit window and an 85% threshold for that. Only Hardcore mode holds you to every single day.

Every challenge, one month at a glance
Days done, current streak, and the 85% threshold at a glance: the calendar shows you instantly whether the month is still on track.

What's the widget for?
A home screen widget shows your progress at a glance and lets you check off a challenge without opening the app. There's also a Control Center button for the same one-tap check-off. Both are optional.
