The idea behind the app
The gaps are part of the picture
In the app and in life.
An empty space easily looks like an error. In a task list it means something is still unfinished. In many trackers it means a streak has broken. But a day is not a table that has to be completely filled in.
01What enough means here
The German word genug, like enough, names a threshold. In this app you set it yourself, habit by habit: every day, twice a week, or on Mondays and Thursdays. Seven hours of sleep, or simply a walk.
What the app does not do is turn that into a verdict on the day. A day with two checks is not a worse day than one with six. If you check nothing, nothing is reset and nothing is taken away.
02Why these seven
Sleep, movement, food, stillness, self-care, hobby and connection are ordinary parts of a day that affect one another and are easy to lose sight of when life gets busy. Genug gives them fixed places so you can see what had room.
They are not a scientific formula or a complete map of a good life. Seven is a deliberate boundary: small enough for one quick look and wide enough that a week shows more than one side of you.
- Sleep
- Movement
- Food
- Stillness
- Self-Care
- Hobby
- Connection
03A fixed frame, your own habits
The seven areas stay fixed. They give a day its breadth and every overview its shape, and they keep a list of habits from becoming seven kinds of exercise.
What goes into an area is your decision. You pick from suggestions or write your own habit, as many as you want, and you decide how often each one should happen. The app decides where to look. You decide what counts.
04The open spaces stay visible
What you check gains colour. What stays open remains an open space in the week. The app counts no streak and gives no points, and it does not turn a blank day into a zero.
When the days of a week sit beside each other, you can see which areas had room and which have grown quieter. That is not a diagnosis or an instruction. It is a picture that only you can interpret.
05Nothing to fill in later
A skipped day stays skipped. Only today can be answered, so the record stays what actually happened. There is no chain to repair, and a goal for the week starts fresh every Monday.
A week without gaps would look tidier. It would not be more honest. Genug leaves the open spaces in place because they belong in the app, and because incomplete days belong in life.
Try it without the app
Seven areas, one question
Look at the seven once today:
- Go through sleep, movement, food, stillness, self-care, hobby and connection.
- For each area, ask only: What did I do for this today?
- Leave open spaces open. Add nothing up and make nothing up tomorrow.
If three answers come, leave it at three. If none comes, leave the space open. That is all this look at the day has to do.
