30toWin – Thirty Days to Make & Break Habits
30 days is a pretty common number here on Jalup. You know those monthly achievement threads we’ve been doing here since 2014? That’s 30 days of realizing your Japanese goals.
I had first gotten into 30 day challenges from a popular Ted Talk video from nearly a decade ago.
The idea is simple. Do something for 30 days, and you will change your life. This can be creating a new habit or breaking a bad one. But just do it. Don’t think about the long term – just focus on those 30 days, and watch. While there is no science that says 30 days (or the previously popular 21 days) is the magic number, it is a decent chunk of time. And by making it to 30, you have a high probability of making it for good.
I love 30 days challenges and have been doing them for years. But I wanted a better way to organize them for myself. I wanted easily viewable progress, daily reminders, and motivational images. All the apps I had found on this topic were fitness focused. Others were too general. So I decided to create my own little app for myself, solely around the 30 day challenge.
What is 30toWin?
30toWin is a small pet project of mine. An iOS app to aid in 30 day challenges. I just released it in the app store, and it is 100% free for anyone who wants to ramp up their goal setting. There is no grand vision for this app, but there are a bunch of small features that I personally want, that I plan adding over time. I thought it might help some people on this site struggling with setting Japanese goals, so here we are :)
Breaking bad habits and creating new good ones both have one thing in common – they take time and effort. But if you can keep up your goal every day for 30 days, there is a good chance you will win. That’s where we come in.
With 30toWin, you:
1. Set your goals
2. View your progress
3. Are reminded daily
4. Motivate yourself to make it to day 30
It’s not easy changing your life. We’re here to lend a hand.

All the apps I want to use are iOS, lately. It’s making me want to switch over to an iPhone.
Go for it :)
I just tried this and it’s great. I’ve put in my three goals and customized the pictures to inspire me personally. I love how clean the screen looks and how simple the app is to use. It’s not cluttered with all the extra stuff some apps have. The reminders are already keeping me on target. Thanks for giving this just in time for the new year!
Thanks! I hope you find value out of it for achieving your goals.
Looks very helpful, Adam.
Maybe we’ll see it on Android one day, kind sir?
Probably not :/ It’s really just a personal project. I mean unless it became so popular that I couldn’t ignore creating an Android version. But I don’t see that happening.
Awesome Adam. The app looks super useful. I was about to download only to realize it requires IOS 13.0 or later. Apparently my iPhone 6 is too old for that version. Thanks for sharing though!
