Overview & Getting Started

1. Core Modules Overview

Transform is a private self-help tool designed to help you reduce or stop adult content use, create breathing room during urges, understand emotional triggers, and rebuild daily habits. The app is organized into five main tabs:

1. Home (Timer & Daily Routine): Displays your live clarity timer (days, hours, minutes, seconds), daily task progress, current rank & experience points, Monday weekly summary, and quick access to the emergency toolbox.
2. Statistics (Data Analysis): Provides summary cards, a calendar heatmap, high-risk time-of-day distribution charts, trigger breakdowns, and practice history for meditation, breathing, and Kegel exercises.
3. Protection (Website & App Blocking): Adds on-device friction before opening high-risk websites or selected apps so sudden impulses do not immediately turn into action.
4. Log (Journal & Declarations): A calendar-based reflection journal where you can record emotions, review setbacks without shame, and pin personal declarations.
5. Settings (Customization & Data Safety): Manage streak goals, custom triggers, daily task templates, notifications, iCloud / Google Drive sync, and encrypted manual backup files.

Non-Medical Disclaimer: Transform is a self-guided habit management tool and is not a substitute for clinical healthcare, psychotherapy, or medical treatment.

2. Initial 8-Step Onboarding Guide

When you open Transform for the first time, an 8-step setup helps establish your personal baseline:

Parameter Breakdown:

1. Privacy & Terms Confirmation: Confirms our local-first architecture—your check-ins, journals, and trigger logs remain on your device.
2. Birth Year & Habit History: Helps you contextualize your timeline objectively on your own device.
3. Starting Date: Defaults to the current moment; you can also customize your start date anytime from the Home timer if your streak started before installing the app.
4. Winning Streak Goal: Choose your first milestone target (from 5 to 720 days, such as 7, 14, 30, or 90 days).
5. Reasons for Change: Select the core motivations behind your decision (such as better focus, healthier sleep, or deeper real-world relationships) to remind yourself during difficult moments.
6. Notification Permissions: Enable morning/evening reminders so you can build a consistent daily reflection habit.

3. Restoring Data on the Welcome Screen

If you are switching phones or reinstalling Transform, you do not need to complete the 8-step onboarding or purchase a subscription first to recover your history:

1. Restore from Cloud (“Restore from iCloud” on iOS / “Restore from Google Drive” on Android):
   • Tap the cloud restore link right below the main “Get Started” button on the welcome screen;
   • Transform will download and merge your existing cloud snapshot onto your device for free;
   • If you already have an active Pro subscription, automatic background cloud sync will also be enabled automatically.
2. Import Backup (Cross-Platform File Restore):
   • Tap “Import Backup” on the welcome screen and select your previously exported encrypted backup file;
   • Supports migrating data seamlessly between iOS and Android devices.

4. Privacy & Local-First Architecture

• Offline-First: Daily check-ins, timers, meditation exercises, and analytics work completely offline on your device.
• Zero Sensitive Text Uploads: Your personal reflection logs, custom triggers, and local website blocking checks are never uploaded to third-party servers.
• Full Data Ownership: Combine free manual encrypted backups with optional Pro cloud sync via your personal iCloud or Google Drive account.
