I built a daily mission app to become 1% harder every day

Hey Indie Hackers!

After years of struggling to build discipline, stay consistent, and fight comfort, I realized that real growth doesn’t come from motivation. It comes from doing hard things, every single day—just one percent better than yesterday.

So I built StayHard — a no-excuses habit engine that forces you to get out of your comfort zone and level up daily through uncomfortable actions.

What you can do with StayHard:
- Receive 1% harder missions each day across six tracks: cold exposure, running, strength, focus, study, and early wake-up
- Track your XP, level up, keep your streak alive, and analyze your weekly growth
- Use the built-in AI coach when you're ready to give up or need a mental push
- Join leaderboards and private “crews” for friendly competition and accountability
- Rest smart: recovery days are injected automatically when fatigue is detected

This isn’t a feel-good tracker. It’s a mission. A daily war against the easy path.

I'm sharing the entire build in public here: https://x.com/bartzalewskidev

Thanks for checking it out.
