Direction A
A living colour field sits under everything, and content floats on frosted glass above it. The energy comes from the background, so the components themselves stay calm and legible. Same thirteen screens, same copy.
Happy comes from the field, not from decoration. Periwinkle, mint and coral bloom behind the glass and shift per screen, so no two states feel identical. Chips and milestones pick up whichever hue suits them.
The coach is a person, not an orb. The round initial badge is gone — the coach now reads as a glass capsule with a face and a name, so tapping it obviously means "talk to Ahmed."
Colour note. This direction uses the brand periwinkle as one of several blooms and puts gradients on actions, which goes beyond the one-fill-per-screen rule in the brand colour standard. That rule would need relaxing for this direction — a decision, not an oversight.
One thing to do, floating on the field. Habits sit in a glass tray below the card.
Slow on the negatives today — quality over load.
Nothing else due until your check-in tonight.
“Finish whenever you're ready — I've kept your place.”
Timeline by default, a manual Focus mode, and the come-back moment for a deferred exercise.
Slow on the negatives. — Ahmed
Last one to circle back.
One tap from the coach capsule. It invites and reflects, but never carries the instruction to act.
First run teaches the loop by running it: meet the coach, then do one real action before ever reaching Today.
“Hi Sam — glad you're here. We'll keep this simple: one thing a day, and I'm right here whenever you need me.”
Most days this takes two minutes.
We'll tell you when there's something to do.
That's a log. That's the whole loop — one tap, done.
The app is closed most of the day, so the notification is the product surface. Glass reads best here — the lock screen is the one place the wallpaper is genuinely behind it.
The quiet third surface. Momentum is accumulation, never a streak that punishes a gap — so the grid reads as warmth, not pass/fail.
“Strong on push days — let's build on that.” — Ahmed
