Stop counting. Start knowing your pace.
Every habit tracker can tell you one thing: did you tick the box today? That's it. A green streak says "done" — but done relative to what?
plusMinus is built around a different question: are you on pace?
Expected vs. actual
When you create a goal, you set a target with a rhythm — 20 pages a day, 4 workouts a week, 300 total by December. From that, plusMinus quietly computes the pace you should be at by today, and compares it to where you actually are.
The result is a single, honest number:
- +147 pages — you're ahead. Bank it, keep the rep going.
- −12 hours — you're behind, and now you know exactly by how much.
A streak hides the gap. A plus-minus shows it — and a visible gap is a recoverable one.
Why this changes the game
A broken streak feels like failure, so most people quit. A negative number feels like a deficit you can close. That's a completely different emotion, and it's the difference between abandoning a goal in week three and quietly catching back up.
plusMinus even does the catch-up math for you:
- See which goals are slipping, at a glance.
- Get the exact daily amount needed to get back to even.
- Watch the number climb back toward
0, then past it.
Set one up in seconds
Pick what matters, give it a target and a frequency, and start logging — one tap, one sentence, or one message to Claude. From then on, the only thing you ever have to look at is whether you're + or −.
That's the whole game. Everything else is noise.
