6 hours ago 2

Track meaningful actions with honesty, earn rewards, and build momentum—your way.

Kudos can help you track your habits without the guilt or shame. You will be able to build momentum through honest reflection and reward yourself with things that actually motivate you.

Designed for Real Brains, Not “Perfect” Ones.

Kudos is especially helpful for neurodivergent users, folks with demand avoidance, and anyone who feels boxed in by rigid systems and routines that don’t accommodate their needs and style. Whether you’re building bedtime rituals, trying to say no more often, or just want habits to feel less like homework – Kudos is here to help you keep building habits that align with your needs.

Every feature is designed to positively affect your motivation, habit building, and accountability.

Turn your everyday choices into momentum – with rewards that reflect what matters to you.

Track habits with flexible action:

  • ⭐️ Best effort
  • 👍 Good try
  • 👎 Missed habit (and that’s okay!)

Earn points toward rewards that actually mean something to you, and leave little reminders for your future self after a missed habit!

Set your own values for each habit – and watch them shiftover time.

Tasks are worth less points if you put them off!

Access a growing set of themes, sounds, and fonts, including options for color blindness and a dyslexia-friendly font!

Backed by Psychological Principles.

Kudos was designed by and for neurodivergent people – because habit tracking should support how your brain works, not how someone else thinks it should.
