How YourQue works

Miss a day, keep your streak

Miss a day and your streak bends instead of breaking.

Life happens, and the app is built for it: "Yesterday got away. Streak safe." It takes two misses in a row to end one, and even then there is no alarm, just "A fresh start today." Did the thing but forgot to tap? Fill yesterday in from the habit's calendar. Come back after a real gap and YourQue says the one thing that matters: "You came back. That is the part that counts." It counts those returns all year, at the foot of Today, because coming back is the whole skill.

Habits on your schedule

Daily, every 2 to 14 days, a target of 1 to 6 times a week, or set weekdays.

Each habit is measured against its own rhythm, not a calendar someone else drew, so a Tuesday you did not run is not a miss on a three-times-a-week habit. Going away, or just having a hard week? Pause a habit for as long as you need, with no penalty. Streaks and stats wait for you. Need one day off? Skip it on purpose and it is rest, not a miss, and you can undo it the same day.

One screen, one question

Open the app and Today asks only what is due.

Tap a row and it is done. Under every habit, a plain sentence says exactly where you stand: "Done today." "Every 3 days." "2 of 4 this week." Things you do more than once a day are counted properly, tap by tap: "2 of 3 today", then "3 of 3 today. Day complete." One tap too many? Long-press to undo. A strip of the last seven days sits at the top for context; tap any day for a quick look at how it went. Drag your habits into the order your day actually runs, and, if you like, group them into morning, afternoon and evening.

Your habits, on the home screen

A widget for iOS and Android puts today's habits where you already look.

Tap a habit on the widget and it is done, without opening the app. The widget and the app speak the same sentence for the same state, so the two never contradict each other, and the widget makes no network calls at all. Free shows one habit; YourQue Full shows all of them. Tapping to complete needs iOS 17 or later; on iOS 16 the widget is read only.

Reminders that know when to stop

Reminders are off until you turn one on, habit by habit.

Set up to three per habit, at your times. Set quiet hours and nothing fires inside them. Once everything for the day is done, nothing fires at all. Snooze straight from the notification. And nothing in the app escalates: no repeat nags, no alarm about your streak, no shame in your notification tray, ever. YourQue Full adds a quiet daily briefing, one in the morning, one in the evening, either or both.

It notices how far you have come

When you create a habit, YourQue asks one optional question: "Why does this matter to you?"

One line, asked once, never nagged about. Then it waits for the moments that count. Return after a gap and your own words replace the generic ones. Three quiet milestones mark the road, each in the chain's own words: your first completion ("Actions become habits."), your first return after a gap, and your thirtieth day ("Your character shapes your destiny."). Each appears once, under the habit that earned it, with your why beside it, and a tap dismisses it. No confetti, no points. Just a line that knows what you did.

Nothing you built is thrown away

Every habit keeps a month-by-month calendar of its record.

This month and last are free; the whole history is in YourQue Full. Done with a habit? Archive it instead of deleting it. Full adds the Vault, where every archived habit keeps its lifetime record: total check-ins, first and last dates, longest streak. Full also adds Insights, which reads your history back to you: the weekday you are strongest on, your longest streak and the habit that earned it, your steadiest habits over the last 30 days, and the pair of habits that tend to happen together. Free or Full, it stays yours: export everything as a file through the share sheet, and bring it to a new phone the same way.

Postcards worth keeping

Reach a milestone and YourQue makes a small postcard you can save or share.

Streaks and months make one too, and in YourQue Full so does your Destiny: where all of this is heading, in your own words, beside the number of times you came back this year. A postcard only ever shows a win; it cannot shame anyone. No leaderboards, no comparing. Just a keepsake of a promise you kept. Classic is free. YourQue Full adds Midnight, Espresso and Linen.

Your day, planned with you

A short spoken plan in the morning, and a short close of the day in the evening.

In the morning the coach looks at your habits for today and, if you let it, the free time in your calendar, and fits them together: what goes where, and one small first step. In the evening it closes the day: what got done, and one small thing for tomorrow. A day with open habits is a normal day, and it says so. About twenty seconds each, in the language your app is set to. From your calendar, only the start and end of your free time leave your phone, never what your appointments are called.

In Coach settings you can switch on a daily notification for the morning plan, the evening close or both, at a time you choose. Tap it and the Coach tab opens.

Hold to talk, hear an answer

Say what is on your mind about your day, and the coach answers out loud.

Hold the button, or tap to start and tap to stop, and speak for up to a minute. The coach answers out loud in a few sentences. For ten minutes after you talk, your next talk carries on from that answer, so you can simply reply. It keeps a short note of your plans from what you tell it, and you can read that note or delete it in Coach settings at any time. The microphone is on only while you talk.

Your week, read back to you

A spoken reflection on your week, and a few words on the day you come back.

Once a week, a short spoken reflection on your week. With the coach on, it knows your habits by name: it starts from the one thing your week shows most clearly, such as a habit done on every day it was due or one that still needs a moment in your day, and ends with one small thing for next week, on a named day. Without the coach, it is written from counts only: your check-ins, the days you showed up, the times you came back. Either way, each one picks up where the last left off. On the day you pick a habit up again, Today offers a few spoken words, only when you tap. Choose the voice you like in Coach settings, from five, each with a sample. Every screen that speaks says so plainly: spoken by a generated voice, not a person.

Off until you turn it on

Each part sends only what it needs, only once you turn it on or ask for it, and our server keeps no copy of it.

The weekly reflection sends a short summary in counts, with the week number, a few weekday names and your app's language, and a line or two of last week's reflection so the new one can follow up. The coach sends your habit names with today's state, the times you set for them, what you wrote under Why and its short note, and, if you let it use your calendar, the start and end of your free time; the titles, places and notes of your appointments never leave your phone. With the coach on, the weekly reflection also sends your habit names and what you wrote under Why, with how many days each was due and done this week and last week and how long each has been going. Hold to talk sends your recording with the same details and, for ten minutes, your last exchange. Everything passes through our own server to OpenAI, which writes the answer and speaks it, and our server keeps no copy of it. The app tells you all of this before anything is sent. One button in Coach settings deletes everything the coach knows from your phone; your habits and their history stay.

Under every answer sits Report this answer. It sends us that answer, the reason you pick and your note, if you add one, and we keep the report for up to 90 days.
