STRIKEWHEEL

Support

STRIKEWHEEL is a start engine, not a task manager. It deals you one card, you hold to strike, and a timer runs. That's the whole app.

How do I add things?

Tap Brain dump and write one line per thought. Sorting is the app's job, not yours.

The card I'm shown isn't the one I want.

Swipe it away, left or right. That's always allowed and nothing is held against you. After a few swipes the app quietly offers you the smallest thing it has.

What is a "strike"?

Starting. You hold the button, feel five beats, and the timer lights. Every start counts for life — the number only ever goes up, and nothing in the app can reset it or break it.

What's the fire?

Tap your strike count on the home screen. The fire grows with everything you've ever started and burned. It never shrinks, never goes out, and never needs feeding.

Why are there no streaks?

Because broken streaks are the single most common reason people abandon apps like this, and almost nobody comes back after losing one. There is nothing here to break.

A card came back covered in frost.

That's The Thaw. When something has been avoided for a while, it arrives frozen. Hold your thumb on it to melt the frost, then sit with it for two minutes. Contact is the whole job — the card stays, warmer.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Everything core works with no network at all. The only feature that ever uses the internet is Smart Splitting, which is off unless you turn it on.

How do I turn notifications off?

Settings → Card Up → off. It was never more than one a day.

How do I delete my data?

Delete the app. Everything lives on your device, so it goes with it. There is no account and no copy anywhere else.
