Concept Months

Each month within a season, you choose one concept to live by. A concept is a philosophy with a 4-week progressive habit plan, daily prompts, and a badge unlock condition.

How it works

  1. At the start of each month, open the Concepts page
  2. Pick one concept from the current season type (Nord or Jari)
  3. Each concept runs for 4 weeks with increasing depth
  4. Complete the month's conditions → earn the concept badge
  5. After earning all 6 concept badges → the Master badge is awarded automatically

Structure of a concept

Every concept has:

ElementDescription
SymbolA rune (Nord) or kanji (Jari) representing the concept
PhilosophyThe core idea in one sentence
Core rules3–5 pinned rules shown daily on the dashboard
4-week progressionEach week has a title, goal, daily prompt, and habit checklist
Badge conditionWhat you must achieve to earn the badge

The hierarchy

Concepts within each season follow a specific order. The 6th concept (Drengr for Nord, Sakigake for Jari) is locked until you have completed all 5 preceding concepts.

Abandoning a concept

If you start a concept month and change your mind, you can abandon it from the Concepts page. Abandoning frees the current month slot so you can start a different concept. An abandoned month does not count toward the Master badge.

Progress tracking

The Concepts page shows your progress:

  • X of 5 completed for each season type
  • Completed concepts show a "done" pill
  • Locked 6th concept shows remaining count needed to unlock
