No streaks to break
Your points accumulate and never disappear. Missing a day doesn't erase your progress — it just means tomorrow is a fresh start.
🧠
No guilt mechanics
No red notifications, no shame spirals, no "you've missed 3 days" warnings. The app rewards showing up, full stop.
⚡
Built for ADHD brains
Minimal friction from the first tap. Gamified progress through the periodic table — dopamine you can actually feel good about.
How It Works

Four habits.
One system.

01
Check in daily
Every morning, tap to log that you showed up. That single action earns 20 points and sets the tone for the day.
02
Focus on what matters
Choose a focus preset — 10, 25, or 50 minutes — and let the timer run. Finish a full cycle and pocket 5 points.
03
Build your habit stack
Add your daily intentions. Complete them to earn 20 points each. A daily cap keeps you from burning out.
04
Watch yourself evolve
Points accumulate permanently. As you progress through eight chemical elements, new features and themes unlock.

FAQ

Common questions.

Nothing. There are no streaks in ElementShift and no penalties for missing days. Your accumulated points never decrease. When you come back, you pick up exactly where you left off.

The cap keeps the system balanced — it means you can't grind your way to the top in a weekend. It also means every day you show up is a full and meaningful day of progress, regardless of how many tasks you complete.

Choose a preset — Quick (10/2), Classic (25/5), Deep (50/10), or your own custom duration. Tap Start and focus. When the session ends, the break begins automatically and a sound marks the transition. Finishing a full focus + break cycle earns 5 points. The timer keeps running if you lock your phone or switch apps.

All your data — tasks, mood entries, focus history, and check-in records — is stored locally on your device. Nothing is sent to external servers or shared with third parties. Credentials are stored in the system Keychain.

The Retro theme unlocks at the Sodium tier (500 points) and The Grid unlocks at Titanium (2,000 points). Once unlocked, switch between them anytime in Settings. Each one is a complete visual redesign of every screen — not just a color swap.
