- Money Saved — Track your savings based on what you used to spend daily
- Health Recovery — Follow a science-backed timeline showing how your body heals over time
HOME SCREEN WIDGETS
Your progress, always visible. Add widgets to your home screen showing your current streak, money saved, and time reclaimed — motivation without even opening the app.
