Core Identity
You don't chase goals.
You become someone.
An identity is the person you're building — "An athlete", "A calm mind", "A writer". It's the foundation everything else in the app is built on. Start here.

An identity is a self-concept you're building — not "I want to run" but "I am an Athlete." That one shift changes how every habit feels: you're no longer working toward a finish line, you're proving who you already are.
Each identity has three things: a title (the "I am a…" statement), an icon, and a color. It's the top-level unit of the whole app — every habit, every vote, and every streak hangs off an identity.
You create an identity by finishing one sentence. Tap "New Identity" from the Identities tab (or set up your first one during onboarding) and a sheet slides up with a single field: "I am a…" — a Runner, a Reader, a Calm Mind.
In the same sheet you add the first habits that will prove it, then pick an icon and color to make it yours. The title can be up to 60 characters, and an identity needs at least one habit — so you declare who you are and how you'll prove it in one go.
An identity on its own is just a statement. Habits are how you back it up. Every habit belongs to exactly one identity, and a single identity can hold a whole stack of them.
When you complete a habit, you cast a vote toward its identity — a small, dated piece of proof that you showed up as that person today. The Athlete's morning run, the Reader's ten pages: each one is evidence filed under who you're becoming.
Votes don't disappear — they accumulate. Over weeks and months each identity gathers a growing record of proof, and its passport card turns that record into numbers you can see.
Two of those numbers are streaks, counted in weeks. Current is how many weeks in a row, right up to now, you've kept the identity strong; Best is your longest run ever. A week "counts" when you complete 80% or more of that identity's habits. Miss a week and Current resets — but Best stays on the card as a record to chase.
An identity you're stepping back from can be archived from its Manage sheet. It leaves your home screen and active list, but every vote, habit, and streak is preserved — restore it later from the collapsible "Archived" section and it comes back exactly as you left it.
If you're truly finished with an identity, the Manage sheet also offers Delete — a guarded option that removes the identity and all its proof for good. Archive is the gentle pause; delete is permanent.
