Key features
Finch
- Virtual pet companion
- Completing goals and activities earns energy that sends the bird on an adventure. It comes back with a story and sometimes a new discovery.
- Daily goals
- Set personal goals such as drinking water or making the bed and check them off through the day. New users start with a few suggested goals.
- Reflections and journaling
- Reflection prompts cover writing about the day, gratitude and how you are feeling. Finch Plus adds further prompts.
- Mood tracking and insights
- The App Store listing describes mood check-ins with trends, and insights that combine mood, journal tags, goals and quizzes.

- Breathing exercises, soundscapes and a focus timer are built in. Finch Plus expands the activity and timer options.
- Friends and good vibes
- Add friends inside the app and send them short messages of encouragement, which the vendor calls good vibes.
Life Reset
- 66-day custom program
- An onboarding questionnaire produces an assessment and a habit program built around your goals. Tasks can be added or deleted later, and their intensity, frequency and schedule adjusted.
- Daily quests, XP and streaks
- Completing daily tasks earns XP and levels. A day counts toward the streak once at least two tasks are done, and streak milestones run from 7 to 132 days.
- Hard Mode
- An optional strict mode: a missed day sends you back to Day 1, the program cannot be edited, skipping a task carries a penalty and one skip day is allowed.
- Character Mode and Season Challenge
- Character Mode turns the program into an RPG with stats, boss fights and gear. Seasons are timed leagues in which XP sets your rank on a global leaderboard.

- Built-in tools include guided meditation with an AI voice, a focus timer, book summaries, a screen blocker, a workout counter and an AI calorie tracker.
- Friends and widgets
- Invite friends by code to join the same season and follow each other's progress. Home Screen widgets keep daily quests and streaks visible when the app is closed.
