Start lighter

Begin with ship one improvement.

The starter version begins at 2 days/week. You can add the other habits after the first one feels repeatable.

Automatic check-ins

Connect on iPhone when you are ready.

Automatic options use Apple Health. Apple Watch and supported workout apps can contribute qualifying workouts after they sync to Apple Health. Manual check-ins always remain available.

Make it your routine.

Choose the starter version or the full plan before anything is added to Main Character.
