Focus.

Your phase, up top#

Focus opens with your current phase, with the sub-goals that sit under it. Kata offers ten: Lose Fat, Build Muscle, Recomp, Maintain, Reset, Performance, Longevity, Comeback, Event Prep and Recovery, and you can write your own with its own line and sub-goals. It is the same phase that steers the whole app, shown here so the thing you are working toward is always one tap away. Set it here, in Settings, Phase and goals, or by telling the coach.

What you are working on#

Below the phase are your personal trackers: anything that matters to you and does not fit a meal or a lift. Stop smoking, cut sugar, meditate daily, less screen time, cold showers, quit alcohol: you name it and Kata tracks it, and the presets get you started in one tap.

Trackers that fit the goal#

Each tracker takes the shape its goal needs: a simple yes or no for a daily habit, a streak for a clean run, a countdown for a number you are bringing down, a build-up for one you are growing, or a running quantity against a target. Kata picks a sensible shape from what you describe.

Symptoms and slips are not the same#

Kata keeps a clear line between logging a symptom and logging a slip. Marking a headache is an observation, neutral, something to notice a pattern in. Marking a cigarette on a day you are quitting is a slip against a goal. They read differently, count differently and never get confused: noticing how you feel is never scored as failing.

Add, or subtract#

A counting tracker goes both ways. Tap plus to add one, minus to take one back when you miscount or change your mind. The number stays the honest running total and is always easy to correct, so one stray tap never haunts your history.

Bringing a number down#

For a reduction goal, cutting cigarettes, coffees or drinks from where you are today, Kata tracks the direction of travel. It reads your usual level as a baseline and shows how far you have come as a plain, labeled percentage ("38% below your baseline"), so a habit you are shrinking has a real measure instead of a guess.

Log it any way#

Tap a tracker to log it, or tell the coach ("meditated 10 minutes", "no cigarettes today") and it lands as a lock-in card like everything else. Trackers you keep up feed the same honest picture the rest of Kata draws from.

Weight is not a tracker#

Your weight lives in the weight system: weigh-ins build the trend, the goal gives it a direction. A tracker that counts weight like a daily amount to hit reads strangely, so Kata offers to move it: one tap sets the weight goal, archives the tracker and keeps its history.
