Progress isn’t surfaced
Home screens rarely show a monthly reading count; users have to dig into stats pages, which weakens day-to-day motivation.

UI tends to be rigid or overcrowded. Hard edges, dense lists, and harsh contrasts make long sessions feel tiring.
Reviews break flow
Writing a reflection usually opens a web view or another app. Result: thoughts get lost, and the habit stalls.

Soft & calm visual language
Rounded cards, warm neutrals, friendly whale motif—accessible and calming.
Reviews built-in
