Every Day Is a New Game

DayGame was born from a simple realization: small, consistent actions compound into transformation.

After watching my mom die from dementia, I adopted her cat Bobby. He was 6.7 pounds, starving, headed to a shelter. Through daily routine—medicine, feeding schedule, consistent care—Bobby transformed. 9+ pounds. Healthy. Thriving.

That's when it clicked: progress isn't about someone else's definition of success. It's about your small daily actions, tracked honestly, building self-efficacy through mastery experiences.

DayGame is the tool I needed to survive grief. Now it's here for anyone who needs to build hope through manageable steps.

1. Build Your Algorithm

You define what a "good day" means. Not society. Not the app. You.

• Health metrics: Steps, exercise minutes, flights climbed, active energy (via Apple Health on iOS, Health Connect on Android)
• Custom sliders: Track things you want more of (water intake, reading minutes) or less of (alcohol, screen time)
• Binary toggles: Yes/no habits like "woke up early," "journaled," "called a friend"

2. Set Your Weights

Decide how much each metric matters. Sleep worth 30%? Steps worth 15%? You choose.

3. Track Daily

Takes 30 seconds. Enter your values. See your score (0-100). Did you win your day?

4. Build Self-Efficacy

Based on Albert Bandura's Self-Efficacy Theory: Mastery experiences (small wins) are the most powerful source of confidence. DayGame shows you those wins, even on hard days.
