How it works
One tick a day.
No categories, points or shops to set up. A goal, the habit under it, and the streak you don’t want to break.
1
Pick a goal and one habit
Sleep better, then lights out by 11. Setup takes under a minute.
2
Tick it when you do it
One tap. The day counts when the goal’s habits are done.
3
Watch the streak climb
Your current run and your best, and a reminder that only comes if the day is still open.
Features
Have a look inside.
A buddy who keeps you honest
Share one habit with a friend and build a streak together. They see only that habit, and you can nudge them when it’s still open. Never at night.
Time it, then tick it
Set a dial or pick a length, then start. A soft birdsong says when time’s up.
Plan the week, pick today
To-do goals: plan your week’s tasks, pick today’s each morning, and keep every due date in sight.
A coach that has read your history
Ask why a goal keeps slipping. The answer comes from your own days, and it never invents a number. Three questions free, up to five a day with Plus.
Twelve months on one screen
Every day you kept, as a dot, with a card worth sharing when it has gone well.
Widgets that already know
Momentum, Challenge and Buddy on your home screen, and with Plus, a countdown to a goal’s deadline on the home and lock screen.
Room for real life
Two streak freezes a month for the days life wins, and seven days to go back and tick what you forgot.
Made for iPhone Duo and iPad
Closed, a one-page checklist with the tabs in the side column beside the camera. Open, today’s list on the left page and your week on the right. Half folded, the two pages meet at the hinge, with nothing to tap under the crease. See it on iPhone Duo.

FAQ
Questions.
Is AscendZ free?
Yes. AscendZ is free to download and use with up to three goals. AscendZ Plus adds unlimited goals, the coach, the written reads, the morning quote and your full history, as one Lifetime payment, a yearly plan with a 7-day free trial, or monthly.
Can I build habits with a friend or an accountability partner?
Yes. Share a single habit with a buddy and you both build a shared streak from the days you each log. They see only the habit you share, never your goals or your other habits, and you can nudge them when a shared habit is still open. Never at night.
What happens if I miss a day?
You get two streak freezes a month for the days life wins, and seven days to go back and tick something you forgot. Challenges have cheat days you choose when you start.

Yes. You create a free account after a short setup, so your habits and streaks follow you between devices. You can delete it from inside the app, and everything goes with it.
