App features
Everything in the app, and how it fits together.
YouCoach is one app for the person building habits and the coach guiding them. Here's what's inside, in the order you'll meet it.
Home
Your day in three parts.
Morning, afternoon and evening routines with the steps your coach set, or the ones you chose yourself. Tick them off, watch the bar fill, keep the streak alive.
- A greeting and the weather for where you are, so the day starts on the app, not in a spreadsheet.
- Today's progress by time of day, and a weekly streak that shows which days landed.
- A short note from your coach for the week, right under the streak.
Activities
Track it the way it actually happens.
Every activity is tracked by what it is: time, a count, a distance, a weight or body measurement, or a simple did-it habit. Start the timer, or log it afterwards.
- A timer with a progress bar, or "Log activity" for something you did already. Both count, and both are labelled honestly on the card.
- Links straight into Headspace, Strava, Kindle, Spotify, YouTube and more. Open the app, do the thing, come back and mark it done.
- Weekly schedules, custom patterns, once-off dates. Each occurrence is its own item.
Goals
Body, mind, soul, and everything else.
A goal is a target with a date and the activities that get you there. Progress builds from the activities you complete, so you never enter the same thing twice.
- Four kinds, colour-coded everywhere: body, mind, soul, other.
- Track by time, count, distance, weight or a body measurement; the app works out the direction ("down to 78 kg", "up to 20 km").
- Every activity can link to a goal. The goal's card shows how far along you are.
Reminders
Reminders, on your terms.
A reminder on your phone at the time you choose, even when the app is closed. Set them yourself, or let the activity's schedule set them for you.
- Push notifications to your phone from the browser-installed app. No app store, no separate download.
- Repeat daily, on chosen days, or once. Snooze from the notification.
- An "up in five minutes" heads-up before a scheduled activity, and a nudge if you miss it.
Journal
A line a day, or a page.
Write how the day went, add a photo, mark your mood. Look back a month later and see the shape of the week you had, not just the numbers.
- Photos are resized on your phone before upload, so entries stay quick on mobile data.
- Browse by day on the same date strip as your activities.
- Private by default. Share with your coach when you want their eyes on it.
Messaging
Your coach, where your routine lives.
Message your coach in the app. They see what's landing and what's slipping, and reply from the same screen. New messages arrive as a push and a small toast, not a lost WhatsApp thread.
- One thread per coach and client, with history that stays.
- Unread counts in the nav; read receipts for the coach.
- Coach can attach a note to the week that shows on the client's Home.
Install
