Habit app copy we cut—and what we say instead
Copy is a feature. In habit tracking, the wrong word turns a miss into an identity attack. dailio is still in development, and we are actively editing onboarding, reminders, and empty states for a no-nonsense streak experience before we launch soon.
Phrases we sidestep
- “No excuses”—life is not an excuse; it is a constraint.
- “Crush it / beast mode”—performance theater ages poorly.
- Punitive streak language that frames you as “broken.”
What we say instead
We favor return paths: adjust the habit, shrink it, reschedule it, ask a friend, look at the week row as information. This matters for friend streaks too—friends should not receive guilt-coded prompts by default.
