Frequently asked questions
Common questions about tracking habits.
- Who is this habit tracker best for?
- Main Character is best for people who want a small set of meaningful habits, quick check-ins, and progress they can review without maintaining another dashboard.
- Can I track habits in more than one way?
- Yes. You can check in directly inside Main Character or use an X post as your check-in, then review streaks and consistency in one place.
Why we built this
Built from real frustration.
Hi, I'm Gabe. I've tried dozens of habit apps over the years and hit multiple 1,000+ day streaks, but I still struggled to find a tool that fit how I actually live and work.
I once tracked daily product usage by committing to GitHub and using the contribution graph as my streak system. It worked because the progress was visible, simple, and hard to ignore.
We built Main Character to recreate that clarity with less friction, whether you check in privately or post on X. Everything now lives directly inside the product.
The goal is still the same: reduce the friction, keep the receipt, and make consistency easier to trust.
