Habit checkboxes vs a richer Arc

Typical habit trackers stop at task completion — one habit, one checkbox, a streak. KriArc logs yes / no, number with a unit (like minutes or pages), and choice with multi-select options. Left: how you log. Right: Arc totals from Followed tags — including activities that touch several dimensions.

One habit → one checkbox → a streak

Task completion tells you whether you showed up — not what the session contained or which parts of life it shaped.

Activity → tags → Follow in Arc → trajectory

One action can carry yes/no, numbers, and choices. You Follow the dimensions that matter; Arc adds them up from what you logged.

Learning & reading

Habits: Read ✓ · Study ✓

One checkbox can’t tell fiction from an AI paper. KriArc keeps pages, topic, mood labels, and learning in the same log.
