What gets measured gets managed.
Halto tracks your practice so you can see your progress, identify patterns, and stay motivated. This guide explains what's tracked and how to use it effectively.
What Halto Tracks
Session Data
Every completed session records:
- Date and time — when you practiced
- Level used — which level you chose
- Duration — how long the session lasted
- Completion — whether you finished or exited early
Cumulative Stats
Over time, Halto tracks:
- Total XP — your lifetime experience points
- Total sessions — how many sessions completed
- Current streak — consecutive days of practice
- Longest streak — your record
Energy Points
Energy is a secondary metric:
- Earned per completed session/group
- Represents accumulated practice investment
- Visible in your profile
Finding Your Stats
Profile Tab

Understanding XP
What XP Represents
XP (Experience Points) measures your cumulative practice:
- More XP = more practice time invested
- Earned by completing sessions
- Higher levels may award more XP
XP Isn't Everything
XP doesn't measure:
- Quality of practice
- Relaxation during sessions
- Real-world urge control improvement
- Whether you actually needed the session
Use XP as motivation, not the sole measure of progress.
The Streak System
How Streaks Work
Current Streak: Consecutive days with at least one completed session.
- Complete a session today = streak continues
- Miss a day = streak resets to zero
- One session per day is enough
Streak Psychology
Streaks are double-edged:
Positive:
- Motivation to practice daily
- Visual reinforcement of consistency
- Gamification of good habits
Caution:
- Don't let streak anxiety cause stress
- A broken streak isn't failure
- Consistency matters more than any single streak
If Your Streak Breaks
- Don't panic — streaks break, it's normal
- Start again immediately — new streak begins today
- Reflect — what caused the miss?
- Adjust — can you prevent future misses?
- Remember — your progress isn't erased, just the streak counter
Using Data Effectively
Pattern Recognition
Look at your session history for patterns:
When do you practice?
- Morning, afternoon, or evening?
- Is there a consistent time?
- Do you practice more on certain days?
What levels do you use?
- Consistently at one level?
- Progressing over time?
- Dropping levels on certain days?
What do you notice?
- Days you skip practice = days you struggle?
- Higher levels on good days?
- usage patterns?
Setting Goals
Use your data to set realistic goals:
Daily goal: One session per day (streak maintenance) Weekly goal: 7 sessions, try to level up Monthly goal: Consistent practice, new level milestone
Progress Indicators
Signs you're progressing:
- Higher levels feel easier
- Sessions completed more easily
- Less need for SOS
- Better real-world urge control
- Longer streaks naturally

What Stats Don't Show
Real Progress
The most important metrics aren't in the app:
- Days without relapse — track separately
- Urge intensity over time — journal this
- Quality of life improvements — notice these
- Relationship improvements — pay attention
- Mental clarity — self-assess
The Intangibles
Stats can't capture:
- How much easier urges feel to handle
- Confidence in your ability to cope
- Changes in your relationship with technology
- Overall life satisfaction
Recommendation: Keep a separate journal for these intangibles.
Common Questions
"My streak broke. Am I back to zero?"
Your streak counter resets. Your progress doesn't.
All the practice you've done, capacity you've built, and neural pathways you've strengthened remain. The streak is just a number.
"How much should I practice?"
Minimum: Once per day (for consistency) Better: Once per day + whenever you have an urge No maximum: More practice = more progress
"Why didn't I get XP for a session?"
Possible reasons:
- Session wasn't completed
- App glitch (rare)
- Check session history for recording
"My stats seem wrong"
Try:
- Close and reopen the app
- Check if sessions are recording
- Contact support if issues persist
"Can I export my data?"
Check current app version for export options. Data privacy means your data stays on your device by default.
A Healthy Relationship with Stats
Stats Are Tools
Use them to:
- Track consistency
- Notice progress
- Identify patterns
- Stay motivated
Stats Aren't the Goal
The goal is:
- Better urge control
- Improved quality of life
- Freedom from compulsion
- The life you want
Stats support these goals—they don't replace them.
Balance
Too little attention to stats: Miss patterns, lose motivation Too much attention to stats: Gamification addiction, missing the point
Find the balance that serves your recovery.
Action Items
- Check your current stats — know where you stand
- Note your streak — aim to maintain or rebuild
- Review session history — any patterns?
- Set a simple goal — one session per day
- Track intangibles separately — journal your non-app progress
Your stats tell part of the story. You're writing the rest.
