Build habits with a companion who never judges

Life isn't a winning streak

My Own Pace pairs you with a gentle tortoise companion who helps you choose the right habits, suggests the smallest possible steps for hard days, and notices every time you show up — whether you gave it your all, did the bare minimum, or chose to rest. No streaks. No shame. Just a quiet presence that grows with you.

Our Philosophy

You've already tried the hard way

Other apps count your streaks and punish you when life gets in the way. We built My Own Pace around a different idea — a companion who meets you where you are. It helps you find the right habits, breaks them down into the smallest honest step, and grows alongside you through every check-in. Progress is never taken away. Rest is never questioned.

Progress

Progress only grows

Every check-in — full effort, bare minimum, or intentional rest — makes your companion grow. Nothing is ever lost. There's nothing to start over.

Rest

Rest days count

Choosing to rest is an intentional act. Your companion recognises that and grows from it too — because recovery is part of building something real.

No competition

No competition

No leaderboards. No comparisons. Just you, your habits, and a companion who's been with you since the beginning.

Features

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Simple, warm tools designed around how people actually build habits — with a companion who's always in your corner.

Check in

The smallest step still counts

For every habit, your companion suggests a minimum — the version you can do on your worst day. Too tired to run? Maybe just put your shoes on. Can't meditate for ten minutes? One deep breath counts. The whole point is that showing up in any form is what matters.

Friends

Friends, not followers

Share encouragement with people who matter. No public feeds, no likes, no performance — just a quiet way to let someone know you noticed them. Your friends can see that you're active, but never your specific habits or check-in details.

Insights

Gentle insights

See how far you've come without pressure. Track your intentional actions for each habit, with a clear breakdown of full efforts, minimums, and rest days — numbers that only grow.

Badges

Quiet milestones

Earn achievements for real moments — your first check-in, your first comeback after a break, showing up across different parts of your life. Not arbitrary targets. Milestones that actually mean something.

Reminders

Kind reminders

A gentle daily nudge with a warm quote to start your day. Never aggressive, never guilt-tripping. And if you don't open the app, your companion just waits.

Companion

A companion, not a coach

Sheldon grows with you and responds to every check-in. No generic advice — your companion notices your patterns, celebrates your wins, and never judges a rest day.

How It Works

As simple as it should be

No complicated setup. No overwhelming options. Just three steps to start building habits that actually stick.

1

Pick your habits

Tell your companion what matters to you. It will help you choose across six life categories and suggest a realistic schedule based on your honest capacity — not your ideal self.

2

Check in daily

Each day, tell your companion what you did — the full thing, the bare minimum, or a rest day. It responds with a short, personal observation. The whole thing takes a few seconds.

3

Watch yourself grow

Your companion evolves, badges unlock, and your intentional actions add up — one honest day at a time. There's nothing to lose and no way to fall behind.

FAQ

Common questions

Most habit apps punish you for missing a day. Your streak breaks, your progress resets, and suddenly the thing that was supposed to help you makes you feel worse. We don't do that. Here, progress only accumulates — it never goes backwards. There are no streaks. No guilt. Just you, moving forward at whatever speed feels right.
Any conscious choice you make when checking in. "I did the full habit," "I did the minimum," or "Rest today" — all three count equally as one intentional action. You showed up and made a choice. That's what matters.
Never. Not after a day, not after a week, not after three months. Everything you've built stays exactly where you left it. When you come back, you just keep going. No starting over. No reset button. That's the whole point.
Your companion grows every time you make an intentional action. Full completions and minimums count the same — both move your companion forward equally. Rest days carry a little less weight, but they still count. Your companion never shrinks, never goes backwards. Every choice you make adds up.
"I did the full habit" means you completed it as you defined it. "I did the minimum" is the smallest version you set when creating the habit — the gentlest possible version that still counts. "Rest today" means you're consciously choosing to take a break. All three are valid. All three matter.
That depends on the style you chose during setup. With Guided, your companion responds personally after every check-in with a quiet, personal observation — and the longer you use the app, the better it understands your patterns, your struggles, and what kind of support works for you. With Steady, your companion helps you set up habits and cheers you on quietly — you're in the driver's seat. You can change this anytime in Settings.
Yes. Go to Settings and you can switch between Guided and Steady whenever you want. There's no wrong choice — just whatever feels right for where you are right now.
Yes. Go to your Profile and tap Delete account. This permanently removes everything. It cannot be undone.
No. Please don't. Come back, open the app, and keep going. Your companion is still there. Your history is still there. The fact that you came back at all is an intentional action in itself. Starting over is what other apps make you feel like you need to do. Here, you just continue.
Because tortoises don't rush. They move at their own pace and they always get where they're going. Felt like the right companion for this kind of journey.
