a daily ledger. virtues minus vices. one number, every day. talyq scores what you actually did.
including the parts you don't talk about.
most apps reward you for showing up. they hide the bad days behind streaks and badges. talyq does the opposite. it tells you the truth.

subtracting a vice is worth more than adding a virtue. my month proves it. sixty-eight percent of my recovery came from cutting things out — not from doing more.
