  I have notifications disabled by default, by that I mean the moment an app requests permission I deny it, unless it’s a messaging app or something I trust etc., and if it triggers more than three requests its off my phone.

  I understand the logic of doing the streak system, keep you engaged by threatening to lose your streak if you don’t do it every day, but it’s a double edged sword.

  If I’d lost my streak though… I should just go “oh well” and call it a day/quit.

  I deleted the app when they said they were going to fire translators for AI. But I have adhd and forgot, several days, even with reminders, to do it some days… It never ended up mattering because they let me keep my streak anyway

  Most users aren’t logical or sane like you, so this notification may actually catch their eye in their notification tray with 8k other notifications from cancer apps.
