Home Screen & Daily Quests

What your Home screen shows you, how the three daily quests and their reward work, and every task that can turn up in them.

Home is the screen you land on. It's built to answer one question in about five seconds: what should I do today?

The Home screen: a 'Start today's practice' banner with the last session under it, a level ring, three daily quests, a bar chart of this week's practice, and a year-long grid of activity
Everything at a glance: what to play next, today's three quests and what they pay, this week measured against your daily target, and a square for every day you've ever practised.

Daily quests

Every day you get three small tasks, drawn at random from a big pool, with no two of them being the same job in different clothes. Finish all three and a Claim button appears.

Daily Quests
Practice for 15 minutes
Rate a Song0 / 1
Practice 3 different categories2 / 3
Complete all three to claim+10 points, +40 Fame
Tap any unfinished task and the app takes you straight to the screen where you can do it.

The tasks are things you were probably going to do anyway. They tick off automatically as you practise and log, so there's nothing to mark by hand.

Warning

The reward isn't given automatically. You have to press Claim before the day rolls over. The quests reset with a fresh set of three the next day.

Twenty-one tasks sit in the pool. Three are drawn from it each morning.

Questions people ask

I finished a quest but it still shows as incomplete

Quest progress is counted from logged sessions, so it only moves once you save the session, not while the timer is running

Can I choose my quests?

No, they're drawn for you each day. If a task doesn't suit you, skip it. Nothing is lost except that day's claim

Do quests keep a streak?

No. Only practising keeps the streak alive. Quests are a separate, single-day reward
