Victories, triggers, mood, sleep
How does the Reboot Daily Check-In work?
The Daily Check-In is a short set of questions in Reboot that records your victories and setbacks for the day.
The check-in asks two questions: "Did you manage to abstain from pornography today?" and "Did you manage to abstain from masturbation today?". For each one, you choose Victory or Setback. A day with both victories is a clean day.
Check in before midnight to keep your victory for the day. The stars you earn depend on your results for the day, and the app adds them at midnight.
The upgraded check-in
With Reboot Plus, you get the upgraded check-in. After each victory or setback, it asks about your temptation level (None, Low, Moderate or High), when the temptation came, and what the triggers were. The default triggers are Anxiety, Boredom, Moodiness, Stress and Tiredness.
It also asks for your mood (Awful, Not Good, Good or Awesome) and your sleep quality on a scale of 1 to 4. Then it asks for your power moves: Workout, Meditation, Cold Shower or Reading. Only the two victory questions are required. All other questions are optional.
Missed or wrong check-ins
If you missed yesterday's check-in, the app asks you to check in for yesterday the next time you open it. You can redo today's check-in as many times as you want before midnight. The last check-in counts.
To change an older day, tap "Edit Check-In" in your profile. If you change a victory to a setback, the app removes the triggers and temptations for that day.
Custom triggers and reminders
You can add your own triggers in Settings under "Add Custom Triggers". They show in the Daily Check-In. You can also set a check-in time. The app then sends the reminder "Time for your daily check-in".
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a clean day in Reboot?
A clean day is a day with no porn and no masturbation. It is a porn victory and a masturbation victory on the same day.
What is the difference between the basic and the upgraded check-in?
The basic check-in asks only about your victories. The upgraded check-in, with Reboot Plus, also asks about temptations, triggers, mood, sleep and power moves.
Can I check in for a day that I missed?
Yes. For yesterday, the app asks you when you open it. For an older day, tap "Edit Check-In" in your profile.
When do my stars and streak update?
They update at midnight after your daily check-in.
