UPDATE: 🏆 New in 6.4: Progress-Based Achievements (see below)
Breakthrough 6.2 introduces Achievements, a powerful new feature to reward user progress, increase motivation, and boost engagement inside your app. As a partner, you can fully customize the achievement experience to match your brand and community goals.
🌟 What Are Achievements?
Achievements are milestone-based rewards users unlock as they engage with your app. From maintaining a streak to completing courses or joining the community, achievements provide positive reinforcement and a sense of accomplishment.
🎯 Where Users See Achievements
Profile Tab: A new Achievements section shows all available and earned achievements, grouped by category (Streaks, Courses, Community).
Achievement Detail Page: Tapping any achievement opens a screen showing its name, criteria, and status (locked/unlocked).
Pop-up Modal: When a user unlocks an achievement, they see a celebratory pop-up with:
The achievement name and icon
A short description
A “Share” button to post on social media
🛠 What You Can Customize
In the Partner Portal, you’ll find a new section under App Settings for Achievements where you can:
Upload a custom icon (or use a system-generated one)
Edit the achievement name
Add a short description
Configure the unlock condition (for course completion only)
Customize the success message title and description shown in the pop-up
Archive an achievement (deleting is not supported to preserve user data)
🔐 Note: If no icon is uploaded, a default one will be applied based on your app branding.

🏆 New in 6.4: Progress-Based Achievements
You can now reward your users based on the number of sessions completed or total time spent in the app — introducing Progress-Based Achievements!
This is a powerful new way to celebrate user consistency, deepen engagement, and build long-term habit formation in your app.
What Are Progress-Based Achievements?
Previously, achievements in your app were only available for streaks or one-time milestones. With this new feature, you can now:
Track total number of sessions completed (e.g. Complete 5 sessions)
Track total minutes spent in the app (e.g. Complete 120 minutes of content)
This gives your users visible goals to work toward — and keeps them coming back for more!
✨ Why This Matters
This update gives you more flexibility to design personalized, motivating experiences for your users.
✅ Track progress over time — not just streaks
✅ Reward users for showing up consistently, even if not every day
✅ Reinforce core programs by aligning achievements to them
✅ Create a sense of accomplishment and momentum
You can even stack multiple achievements to build a full recognition system in your app — just like in popular wellness products like Headspace, Peloton, and Calm.
🛠 How to Set Up Progress-Based Achievements
💡 Note: This feature is available in Breakthrough version 6.4 and above.
To add a progress-based achievement:
Go to the Partner Portal → App Settings → Achievements
Click Add Achievement
Set the Type to Progress
Choose a Sub-Type:
Session = number of completed sessions
Minutes = total time spent in content
Set the Condition (e.g. Complete 5 sessions)
Upload an icon (PNG, 300x300px, transparent background)
Add a title and short description
Click Add
📸 Here’s what that looks like in the Portal:
We recommend adding at least 2–3 progress milestones for each major program or content flow (e.g. 3 sessions, 10 sessions, 30 minutes, 100 minutes) to build in motivation and habit reinforcement.
NOTE:
Achievements are only available if your app is running version 6.2 or higher. If you're on an earlier version, please contact us to upgrade.
