Getting started
- What does Alite Growth actually do?
- It connects four things in one direction: goals you set, habits that carry them forward, progress derived from what you did, and achievements earned by that record. Reflections sit alongside, capturing what you learned. The point is that nothing is a standalone list — every habit belongs to a goal you chose.
- Do I need an account?
- Yes. Your goals, habits and reflections are personal, so they live in your own account rather than in a browser anyone could open. Signing in also means the same record follows you between your laptop and your phone.
- Will my account start with example data?
- No. A new account is genuinely empty, and the app walks you through creating your first goal. If you would rather see the shape of a filled-in account before committing, Settings has a one-click option to load an example library — and another to clear it again.
- How much does it cost?
- Growth is free to use while it is young. If a paid tier arrives it will be for capabilities beyond what is here today, and the core of what you have already built will not be taken behind a paywall.
How it works
- How is progress calculated?
- For a goal on automatic mode: 70% from the share of its milestones completed, and 30% from how consistently its linked habits have actually been kept. Goals that resist being broken down can be switched to manual, where you set the percentage yourself.
- What counts as consistency?
- How often you kept a habit when it was genuinely due, over the last four weeks. A habit set to three times a week is not penalised for the four days it was never scheduled.
- Do I lose my streak if I miss a day?
- The current streak resets, and the longest streak you have reached is kept permanently. Beyond that, nothing happens — no warning, no notification, no lost progress on the goal itself. A missed day is information, not a punishment.
- Can one habit support more than one goal?
- Yes, and it often should. A daily walk can feed a fitness goal and a clear-headedness goal at once, and it counts towards the consistency of both.
Your data
- Who can see what I write?
- Only you. Every record is stored against your user id and protected by row-level security in the database, which means the server itself refuses to return one person's rows to another — it is not a check the app could forget to make.
- Can I export everything?
- Yes, at any time, from Settings. You get a plain JSON file containing your whole record, which the same screen can import back. There is no lock-in.
- Can I delete my account?
- Yes. Settings lets you erase your entire record. To close the account itself, email us and we will remove it and everything attached to it.
- Do you sell data or run ads?
- No, and we do not have a plan under which that changes. There is no advertising network, no data broker and no third-party analytics watching what you write.
