Problem this solves

  • The "not starting" cycle.
  • Inconsistent daily execution.
  • "I will start tomorrow" behavior loop.
  • Identity-based consistency, not just distraction blocking.
Rule: 1 session/day

Clear personas

Built for users who need a daily execution system, not a complex productivity suite.

Remote developer

  • Needs one deep focus block per day.
  • Uses consistency for sprint and feature delivery.

Student

  • Exam periods need sustainable pace.
  • "Even 1 session" rule lowers overwhelm.

Side-project builder

  • Builds momentum with one evening session.
  • Progress stays visible through streak + challenge.

ADHD-leaning user

  • Simple rule instead of heavy planning.
  • Streak-at-risk warnings trigger action.

Feature scope (7-day launch)

Single goal: tie "1 session per day" to a streak and keep the user going for 30 consecutive days.

Feature 01

Session completion

Preset duration picker: 30 / 60 / 90.

  • Start session -> choose duration -> mark done.
  • Multiple sessions/day accumulate minutes.
Feature 02

Streak engine

Single source of truth from daily records.

  • Daily completion exists -> streak increments.
  • Missed day resets unless freeze saves it.
Feature 03

Heatmap

GitHub-style last 30 days with today status.

  • Completed days clearly marked.
  • Frozen days get their own state.
Feature 04

Routine mode

Set preferred time and receive local reminder.

  • One-tap actions: Done / Skip.
  • Quick completion updates record immediately.
Feature 05

30-day challenge

Track Day 1-30 progress with X/30 completed.

  • Daily marker view for challenge status.
  • Completion state shown at finish.
Feature 06

Basic stats

Weekly total and longest streak.

  • Minutes/hours summary only.
  • No complex graphing.
Feature 07

Paywall + freeze

Free users get core streak and heatmap.

  • Pro unlocks freeze, advanced stats, widget, custom length.
  • Unlimited challenges for Pro users.

Core logic (backend-free)

Source of truth

  • `DailyRecord(date)` with completed, minutes, freezeUsed.
  • `UserPlan` with `isPro` and `freezeBalance`.
  • `Routine` with `timeOfDay` and enabled state.

Streak computation

  • Streak is derived from record chain.
  • Do not store streak as one mutable number.
  • Show "streak at risk" when day is nearly over.

Out of scope

  • No social features or leaderboard.
  • No distraction blocker.
  • No multi-device sync in v1.
  • No detailed journaling.

Risks and release checklist

Risks

  • Market is crowded: messaging must stay identity-first.
  • Notification reliability can affect retention.
  • Freeze may feel like cheating if framed incorrectly.

Release checklist

  • 3-screen onboarding: rule, preset, routine.
  • Crash-free + timezone testing before launch.
  • Paywall copy focused on streak protection.
  • Restore purchases verified.
