Timeline
The Timeline is your daily command centre. Every habit and task you've scheduled appears here in time order — making it instantly clear what you need to do, what's coming up, and what's already done.
What the Timeline shows you
-
Recurring Habits
Your daily routines — scheduled or anytime — displayed with their category colour and icon.
-
One-Off Tasks
Single-action items with their own scheduled time, distinct from repeating habits.
-
Overdue Indicators
Amber ring and highlight on any habit whose scheduled time has passed but isn't completed.
-
One-Tap Focus Launch
Habits that require a focus session show a play button. Tap to jump directly to the Focus Timer.
-
Date Navigation
Scroll back through past days to review or update historical completions.
Status management
Long-press any item for the full status menu. You can mark habits as Complete, Missed, or Pending — and undo any action at any time. Missed items break your streak; pending items don't.
Complete
Adds to streak. Green checkmark.
Missed
Breaks streak. Explicitly acknowledged.
Pending
Default state. Not yet actioned.
Focus Timer
The Focus Timer transforms habit tracking into real deep work. When you tap the play button on a habit, the timer locks in to that session — circular ring progress, countdown display, and an immersive darkened background that signals you're in work mode.
-
Circular Progress Ring
An arc timer that depletes as your session runs. Orange while active, green when complete.
-
Dashboard Cards
See what's next on your timeline while the current session runs — one tap switches to the next habit.
-
Session Completion Sheet
When the timer hits zero, a summary sheet appears to log your session and return to the timeline.
-
Pause & Resume
Pause a session mid-way without losing progress. Resume exactly where you left off.
-
Immersive Mode
The screen subtly darkens when a session is active, creating a focus-first environment.
Pattern Scout & AI Coach
The Discovery screen has two powerful AI systems: Pattern Scout helps you find and adopt new habits, and the AI Coach analyses your actual behaviour to deliver personalised weekly and daily briefings.
Pattern Scout
Type any goal, category, or lifestyle area — "Morning Routine", "Deep Work", "Fitness", "Mindfulness" — and Pattern Scout generates a tailored set of habit blueprints backed by behavioural science. Each result includes duration, category, and a personalised insight explaining why this habit matters for your goal.
Tap any suggested habit to open it pre-filled in the Add Habit sheet. Adjust and confirm — it's on your timeline.
Dynamic Pattern Packs
A scrollable horizontal grid of curated habit packs — Stoic Morning, Deep Focus, Restoration, Creative Sprint, and more. Each pack searches Pattern Scout with one tap.
AI Coach Pro Feature
The AI Coach doesn't just suggest habits — it reads your actual completion data and delivers two distinct types of coaching reports.
Weekly Executive Briefing
Every Sunday, your Coach analyses your week — wins, missed habits, momentum trends — and delivers a structured performance report with specific recommendations for the week ahead.
Morning Primer
On weekday mornings, your Coach reviews today's scheduled habits and gives you a sharp focus brief — what to prioritise, what to watch out for, and how to approach the day.
All AI coaching is for habit guidance and productivity only. It is not medical, clinical, financial, or professional advice. Always consult qualified professionals for health and wellbeing decisions.
Scout Credits
Pattern Scout uses credits for AI searches. Free users start with a small credit balance. Pro users get 10 free daily searches. Additional booster credit packs are available as one-time purchases.
Insights
Insights is your performance dashboard — a full analytical view of your habit data. It's locked behind Plus to give free users a reason to upgrade, but every metric is genuinely useful.

-
