Glowden, the app that grows with you.

Your room changes with every day you log: sport, food, vices, mood, tasks. One place that shows you how you're actually doing.

Join the beta and become the coolest version of yourself.

How many times have you promised yourself you'd start again?

How many times have you promised yourself you'd train regularly, eat better, finish what you set out to do, and a few days later, without even noticing, you were back where you started?

Plenty. It happened to me too, until I realised I had never been measuring consistency.

The problem isn't motivation. The problem is that you never see the whole picture: training lives in one app, food in another, mood in a journal you open once every three weeks, and nobody writes the vices down at all. Four apps that don't talk to each other, and not one of them tells you the thing that actually matters: how you're doing, all of it together, over the past month.

The room you live in looks like the life you're living

A cluttered mind, more often than not, lives in a cluttered room.

That's where Glowden starts. Everything you log (a workout done, an honest meal, a clean day, a bad day written down in the journal) changes the state of your room. There's no grade, no percentage, no number telling you what you're worth today: there's just a place that brightens, tidies itself, gets dirty or clouds over along with you.

It's the difference between reading a chart and opening your own front door: one you have to interpret, the other you feel in a second.

Three steps. Most days, a few taps.

  1. Log the day. What you trained, what you ate, how you felt. A tick when the workout's done, a line when you eat.
  2. The room changes. On its own, from what you logged. No score to check, no chart to read.
  3. You stop and look back. And you see how you're actually doing, not how you think you're doing.

The first day takes longer: that's when you set up your week. After that, a workout you've already planned is one tick, and a meal is the time it takes to write down what you ate.

Five things, one room

Sport

Gym, running, cycling, whatever you actually do. Exercises, sets and reps, or just distance and time. Unplanned sessions count too.

The Sport screen: a week of planned workouts, from Monday to Sunday, with rest days marked.

Nutrition

Nutrition

Meal by meal, you rate the quality in two taps. No calorie counting: that's a choice, not a gap. You don't need one more app to give you anxiety about numbers.

The Nutrition screen: four meals logged through the day, with no calorie figures anywhere.

Addictions

Addictions

Alcohol, smoking, or whatever you add yourself. A counter of the days since the last time. And two different buttons: Relapse, which starts you over without a lecture, and Craving, which resets nothing and gives you a hand at the exact moment you need one.

The Addictions screen: two clean-day counters, each with a Craving and a Relapse button.

Journal & mood

Journal & mood

As many entries a day as you want, free text, an emoji and the time. It's there to surface the patterns you can't see on your own.

To-do

To-do

The day's things, ticked off. The simplest of the five, and often the ones that explain all the rest.

All on one screen, in one database, in one room.

Not one more habit tracker. The one that holds them together.

There are great apps for training. Great ones for mood. Great ones for quitting smoking. The point is that they don't talk to each other, and the thing you'd actually want to know sits exactly in between: how your mood shifts in the weeks you really train, which day of the week you always give in, what happens to your eating when the days get heavy.

Glowden is built for people who have already tried and quit more than once. Not because they're weak, but because they have never had an honest picture of their own consistency in front of them.

One bad day doesn't erase three weeks

Some days you're low and short on motivation. And that's fine: we're not machines.

Maybe you're too tired to train. Maybe you had a beer after a heavy day at work, even though you'd promised yourself you wouldn't. Not ideal, but human.

Glowden doesn't reset anything and doesn't lecture you. The room gets a little messy, and that's it. If it was a one-off, it goes back to shining in its own time, through your effort and your consistency.

And when you've genuinely earned the break, the room goes on standby: it doesn't get worse while you step away.

Because in the end, the wealth that matters is the one inside you.

What comes after the beta

The evening report. At the end of the day the cactus tells you how it went: where you're slipping, where you're holding up, which vice is worth aiming at right now.

The correlations. “On the days you train, your average mood is higher.” “Relapses almost always happen on days when you tick nothing off.” Things none of your four current apps can tell you, because not one of them has all five together.

The cloud database. Everything you log, synced across all your devices. A new phone, a tablet, a reinstall: your history follows you, and offline stays the default.
