Achievements: seven milestones, and why there are so few

First Light, Riser, Steady, Master, First 100, Thousand and All-Rounder. What each one asks for, where you find them, and why none of them is for sale.

The Progress tab with the First Light, Riser and All-Rounder milestones, surrounded by trophy art

Wakeletics is coming soon to iPhone. This is how it works in the app. Until it is in the App Store, wakeletics.app walks you through all of it.

Most fitness apps hand out a badge for everything: opening the app, finishing a tutorial, being alive on a Tuesday. After a week they mean nothing. Wakeletics has seven milestones, and each one marks something you would actually be proud of if a friend did it.

The seven

First Light: your first earned morning. Everyone's first one.
Riser: 7 days in a row. The first week where it wasn't luck.
Steady: 50 mornings in total. Not in a row, just 50.
Master: 30 days in a row. A full month without one morning off.
First 100: 100 mornings in total.
Thousand: 1,000 reps verified by the camera.
All-Rounder: earn mornings with both push-ups and squats.

Some count a streak (Riser, Master), some count total mornings (First Light, Steady, First 100), one counts reps (Thousand) and one counts variety (All-Rounder). That mix is on purpose. If you break a streak, Riser and Master wait for the next run, but every morning still counts toward Steady and First 100. Missing one day doesn't undo the habit, and the milestones are built to agree with that.

The Progress tab: Level 4 with 203 points to Level 5, and the Milestones card showing First Light, Riser and All-Rounder unlocked — On ProgressMilestones live on the Progress tab, under your level. View All shows the whole set, locked ones included.

Where you see them

Progress shows your milestones under your level, with View All for the full set. A locked milestone has a padlock on it, so you can tell it apart from an unlocked one even without colour.
Morning Earned shows your next achievement after every morning, for example Thousand, with a bar showing how close you are and how many of the seven you already have.
Your share card can show the achievement you unlocked that morning, in one of its three slots.

ProgressThe calendar, your totals and stats, your level, then the milestones and recent sessions.

Nothing to claim, nothing to buy

Achievements in Wakeletics are for show, and that is deliberate:

Nothing to claim. There's no button to collect them. The app works them out from your earned mornings every time it looks, so one can never get lost or stuck as unclaimed.
Nothing to spend. They don't unlock features, give discounts or turn into currency. A milestone you could buy would mean nothing.
Nothing in Pro. All seven are free, and Pro has no extra ones. The only way to any of them is to get up.

Achievements, levels and Wake Points

Milestones aren't the only thing that grows. Every earned morning pays Wake Points. The morning itself is worth the most, reps add a little, every seventh day in a row adds a bonus, and weekly challenges pay extra. Points fill your level, which sits next to your name on every card you share.

So you get two kinds of progress. Levels move a little every morning. Milestones arrive rarely, and they mean more when they do.
