Tasks & daily goals
Tasks are the habits you set in My Goals. Each one can have its own repeat pattern, time-of-day reminder, coin reward, and an optional linked action (Breathe, Affirmation, Journal). Completing one task a day grows your streak.
β Adding a task
- Open My Goals β tap Add task.
- Pick a category: easy wins, movement, hygiene, nutrition, mindfulness, connection, creativity, or learning.
- Set the title and an emoji icon.
- Optionally: pick a time of day for a reminder, set times per day, link an exercise (Breathe / Affirmation / Journal), and tweak the coin reward (default 5 coins).
- Pick a repeat cycle (see below) and save.
π Repeat cycles
- Daily β every N days (default every 1 day).
- Weekly β every N weeks, with optional specific days (e.g. Mon/Wed/Fri).
- Monthly β every N months.
- Does not repeat β a one-time task on a specific due date.
Lookn doesn't show tasks on days they're not scheduled. A weekday-only task won't bug you on Saturday β and your streak still grows on weekend days as long as some other task is completed.
β Completing a task
Tap the task on Home. Your wallet gets the coin reward immediately, a haptic confirms, and the task disappears from today's list (it'll come back tomorrow if it repeats).
Tasks with a linked exercise work differently: tapping them opens the exercise (Breathe, Affirmation, Journal), and completion happens automatically when the exercise finishes.
βΆ Undo a completion
You have a 30-second window right after completion to undo. Tap the undo button β the completion is cleared, the task reappears, and coins are reversed. Only the last completed task can be undone, and only within the 30s window.
βοΈ Editing or deleting a task
Open My Goals β tap a task to edit any field (title, category, time, repeat cycle, points, icon, linked exercise). Most edits auto-save immediately.
To delete: open the task and tap Delete β confirm. It's gone everywhere β from your list, from any scheduled reminders, and from your account. Your past completion history stays.
πͺ Smart sort
Switch the sort mode to Smart and Lookn uses a bit of AI to prioritize your day. It groups today's tasks into three buckets:
- Do now β the things most likely to fit right now, based on time of day and how you've used the app before.
- If you have energy β solid second-tier picks.
- Anytime β the flexible ones that can wait.
If something stops the AI from running, Smart sort falls back to yesterday's groupings, then to a plain time-of-day sort. You can also pick Time of day or Custom ordering from the sort menu instead.
π€ Sharing a task with a friend
From a task, tap Share β pick a friend. They get an invite; once they accept, the task becomes active for both of you. A shared weekly grid shows both your completions across the past 7 days. Your individual completion still counts toward your own streak.
π¬ FAQ
How many tasks can I have?
No hard limit, but anything over 8 active daily tasks tends to feel like work instead of self-care.
What's the difference between tasks and quests?
Tasks are habits you set. Quests are challenges Lookn gives you. Tasks build your routine; quests reward you for variety and milestones.
Why didn't my streak go up after completing a task?
The streak counts days, not actions. One completion today is enough. If you already completed another task today, this one didn't bump it again β but it still gave you coins.
Can I change the coin reward per task?
Yes β open the task in My Goals and set points to whatever you want (default 5). Bigger rewards on harder tasks make sense.
