Built on implementation intentions
Implementation intentions link a trigger to a response before either happens: "if X occurs, then I will do Y." You decide during a calm moment, not in the middle of the urge.
If/Then Habits builds the whole app around that one mechanism. Write the pairing, rehearse it, then check whether you followed through.
Morning rehearsal, evening check-in
Each morning, you rehearse your active habits: the if/then pairing repeated right after you write it, while it's fresh. Each evening, you report whether the trigger happened and whether you followed it.
The record stays honest because the app asks every day, not once a week when you happen to remember.
Identity mastery
Every habit you keep counts as a vote toward a broader identity, like "The Calm" or "The Disciplined." If/Then Habits tracks the tally, so you watch the identity take shape instead of a streak number resetting to zero.
