Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike traditional habit applications that punish you by resetting your entire streak to zero, our Streak Momentum Engine uses continuous mathematical modeling. Research from University College London proves that a single missed day does not destroy automaticity if you return to the habit on day two. Our system models your momentum buffer, encouraging resilience instead of guilt.

The AI Routine Builder implements the BJ Fogg Behavior Model (B=MAP) and Peter Gollwitzer's Implementation Intentions framework. It translates your abstract ambitions into a structured formula connecting an environmental anchor cue, a 2-minute micro-habit, a friction-reduction protocol, and an immediate dopamine reward anchor.

On the Habits Dashboard, click the "Export JSON" button to download an instant, complete snapshot of all your habits and 365-day history. You can then open the AI Habit Tracker on any other device or browser, click "Import JSON", and your entire state will be restored in less than a second. You can also export to CSV for spreadsheets.

The 21-day rule is a widespread psychological myth. In 2009, Dr. Philippa Lally published the definitive landmark study on habit formation, revealing that the true time to reach automaticity ranges from 18 to 254 days, with a median of 66 days. Very simple habits (like drinking a glass of water) take around 20 days, whereas demanding cognitive or physical routines require 60 to 90 days.
