About Momentum
Momentum is a habit tracker built on the idea that streaks punish people. Instead of resetting when a day is missed, it tallies the total amount of work you have completed, so one missed day does not turn into a broken streak, and progress remains until you come back.
You track tasks for any habit by giving each a name and marking the day done, and each task completed counts as one momentum point. Tasks have a title only, with no description, and the site suggests splitting a task that needs more detail into two. It is written for people who find streak-based apps discouraging, including neurodivergent users who feel guilty after missing a day.
The product is in early access. Joining costs a one-time $9 payment with no subscription, which includes a Discord role with priority support, early access to new features and free future updates when the price rises.
