Page Layout

The Challenges page opens with Oxy in a focused mood and your active challenge (if any) at the top. Below that, featured challenges are highlighted in larger cards, followed by an info section explaining how challenges work. The rest of the page organizes challenges by type — daily, weekly, streak, variety, duration, and special — with completed challenges and secret challenges at the bottom.

Active Challenge

You can have one active challenge at a time. Your active challenge appears at the top of the page in a prominent card showing:

  • Challenge icon and name with an "Active" badge
  • Description of the challenge goal
  • Progress bar color-coded to the challenge, with current / target count (e.g. "3 / 7 sessions")
  • Challenge type label (daily, weekly, streak, etc.)

When you complete all goals, the challenge is marked as completed. You can also abandon a challenge through a confirmation dialog if you want to start a different one.

Challenge Cards

Each challenge is displayed as a card with 3 visual variants:

  • Compact: Smaller card used in the Stats page challenges preview section
  • Featured: Larger card with more detail, used at the top of the page for recommended challenges

Tapping any card opens the challenge detail dialog with the full description, goal requirements, reward details, and a "Join Challenge" button (or progress bar if already active).

Secret Challenges PRO

10 secret challenges are hidden throughout the app for Pro members. They appear as locked cards with a mystery icon and a short hint about how to discover them. Once you meet the secret condition, the challenge reveals itself and you can join it.

Secret challenges have unique rewards that aren't available through regular challenges, making them a special part of the Respiro experience for dedicated practitioners.

Completed Challenges

All finished challenges appear in a "Completed" section at the bottom. Each completed card shows a checkmark, the earned reward, and the option to share your achievement through a share dialog. You can revisit completed challenge details at any time.

Data & Sync

Challenge progress is saved locally and syncs across your devices when signed in via Cloud Sync. Your active challenge, progress, and completed challenges are all preserved — so you can switch between phone, tablet, and desktop without losing any progress.
