Blueprint

Intensity: Gentle

Rewards First: Points Earned and Points Lost

12 items13 October 2026

  • Consequences

Structure that runs mostly on points. Daily habits earn points, a miss costs them, and five rewards give them weight, from choosing the film to an evening off protocol or a whole weekend you plan. A repeated miss means an early night. Rewards need Premium.

Needs Premium: the five rewards, the punishment, the penalty points on the two rituals, and the set time on the morning check-in. On the free plan, points still add up and missed tasks still cost points, but there is nothing in the app to spend them on, and the check-in comes in as one daily check-in at any time of day.

For couples who want rewards to carry most of the weight. In the first week, read the points term together, finish the chore that has waited too long, and start the nightly gratitude line. The first reward is in reach within a few days. The bigger ones carry real weight: a task you choose yourself, an item struck from your list, an evening off protocol. After two weeks, look at what got bought, and change the price of anything nobody is saving toward. A miss costs points, and a repeated miss in the same week means an early night. Either of you can pause the whole setup at any time.
