🎯 How Does This App Work?
We help you find time to focus on your health and wellness through setting goals in the app and then letting it work in the background to log your progress and update your goals dashboard. You are sent nudges that encourage you to spend time hitting these goals.
We believe in the power of positive-reinforcement so we provide visually interesting designs, timely messaging, and BetterBolts rewards to help you stay engaged in crushing your goals!
