Reminders, streaks & rewards

Nudges that know what you already did.

The reason food diaries fail is almost never the diary. It is the Tuesday you forgot, then the Wednesday, and by Friday there is nothing worth opening. usnapit's reminders exist for that gap and nothing else - and every one of them is written and scheduled on your phone. No push server, no notification token, nothing about what you eat leaving the device to decide when to buzz you.

A streak you cannot lose by lunchtime

The count is worked out from the log itself, so an unfinished day is never a broken one - today is still today until it is over. Log at 11pm and the run is intact. Most streak counters break the moment they are wrong about a single day; this one cannot drift, because it is not a counter.

And a freeze for the day life happens

Every seven days of your longest run earns a freeze, up to two saved. Wake up to a blank yesterday and usnapit offers to spend one on it and keep the run going. A streak that shatters on a single hospital visit or long-haul flight teaches you that logging is fragile - which is the opposite of the thing worth learning.

Milestones off the trend, not the scale

"First kilo down" appears when your smoothed trend crosses it - not when one light morning says so and the next heavy one takes it back. Shown once, when you next open the app, in the unit you actually think in, and tied to your body rather than to how much you used the app. It needs a weight goal to measure against.

Coins, tiers & badges

Paid for turning up. Never for eating less.

Every day you log, every weigh-in, every run you keep earns coins. Nothing in the app pays out for a lower number on the scale or a smaller number on the plate, and nothing you unlock changes a figure the app tells you. The currency is for showing up, because showing up is the whole game.

Coins, with the receipt

The Rewards screen shows every line of how you earned them - days logged, weigh-ins, runs kept, a health connection made - and how many days each came from. A balance with no account of where it came from invites exactly one question, so the answer is on the screen.

Five tiers, one medal

Bronze at 250 coins, Silver at 1,000, Gold at 3,000, Platinum at 7,500, Diamond at 10,000 - from coins earned over your lifetime, so spending never demotes you. Your medal sits beside your profile picture on Home, and goes on your share card if you want it there.

Themes to spend on, badges you cannot buy

Five hundred coins unlock a new color theme for the whole app. Badges - 30 days logged, a 14-day run, a goal you set and reached - are earned and only earned. A badge is a claim about what you did, printed on a picture you send to other people, and a claim you can buy is not a claim.

Reach the weight goal you set yourself and the app says so - once, with fireworks, and a diamond that no amount of coins can buy. Coins start from your first logged meal, not from history imported from a health app, so nobody arrives on day one already Gold.

Sharing

Share the run, not the weight.

The last 7, 30 or 90 days as one picture

One tap turns a stretch of logging into an image for a group chat or a story: the longest run inside it, how many of the days you turned up, and a pip for every day. Everything else is a switch, and every switch is off - average calories, weight change, active calories, protein, goal progress, your tier medal, a goal reached. Turn one on and it stays on for next time; turn none on and the card says only that you kept going.

That default is deliberate. A screenshot outlives the conversation you send it to, and travels further than you expect. How consistently you logged is the part worth sharing; what you weigh is nobody else's business unless you decide otherwise. The image is made on your phone and handed straight to your own share sheet - it never passes through us. On iPhone the address travels beside the picture as a real link; on Android the card carries a QR code, because a picture in a group chat is only pixels.

A reminder that has read your log

The lunch reminder simply does not arrive if lunch is already logged, and the one that does carries the number you would have opened the app to see: what you have left today.

Your week, when there is a week to look at

On the last evening of your week - Sunday, or Saturday if you start weeks on Sunday - and only if you logged at least four days. A summary of two remembered days is not a summary; it is a scoreboard for the days you happened to feel good about.

Asked for later, never on day one

Your phone allows one permission prompt per install. usnapit spends it after you have logged a few meals and there is a habit worth protecting, rather than on a launch screen with nothing behind it.

The two recurring reminders - meals and weigh-ins - are off until you turn them on. The weekly nudge and the streak warning are on, and every one can be switched off individually under You › Reminders. The streak warning needs a run of at least three days before it has anything to protect. Milestones appear in the app when you open it rather than as a notification - they are noticed while you are reading the trend, not pushed at a locked phone. None of it is behind the subscription.
