About GrowthMate
A growth routine, one tap a day — goals, habit check-ins, streaks, challenges, and a virtual pet, all in one place.
The Problem We're Solving
People set goals in January and forget them by February. They download habit apps and delete them after three days. Research from the University of Scranton finds that 92% of New Year's resolutions fail. The problem isn't willpower — it's the system.
GrowthMate combines goal setting → habit check-ins → streak accumulation → progress stats → virtual pet growth → challenge community — fusing principles from psychology and behavioral economics into a single flow.
