A read that does not flatter
Fourteen questions, six areas of your life, a score out of 100. Nobody gets 100: there is always road left ahead, and it is a number.
The problem is not a lack of information.
You have read the advice, watched the videos, downloaded the trackers. What is missing is not knowing what to do: it is a reason to do it today, and something to lose if you do not.
What ARDENT does
The challenges you pick
At least three, as many as you want, across the same six areas — or your own, written by hand. From a two-minute act to the one almost nobody holds.
An avatar that looks like you
It changes shape as you level up, and its state follows your consistency. Thirty days of nothing and only a skeleton is left.
What you watch move
A hexagon of your six areas, filling in challenge by challenge. And a grid of the days you held across twelve months: the gaps show, and that is the point.
What ARDENT does not do
- No promise of results. The ninety-day projection is a projection of habits, and says so.
- No medical advice, no health diagnosis. We measure habits you declare yourself.
- No advertising, no trackers, no data sold. Your account has no email, no password and no name.
What is ARDENT, exactly?
ARDENT is an iPhone discipline app, for sixteen and over. It starts with a fourteen-question read across six areas — body, focus, mind, lifestyle, relationships, money — then you pick your own challenges across those six areas, at least three, or your own written by hand. An avatar changes shape as you level up and fades when you stop. The diagnostic is free; after that it is a subscription, with three free days on the monthly and annual plans.
Questions
- Is ARDENT free?
- No — and that answer changed on 17 September 2026: access is by subscription. The monthly and annual plans start with three free days — an App Store introductory offer, which Apple grants only once per person; the weekly plan has none. The diagnostic, the 90-day projection and the challenge catalogue are free to see; the daily loop — completing, the streak, the avatar — needs the subscription. It is collected by Apple and can be canceled at any time from your iPhone settings.
- What is the minimum age?
- Sixteen. The app checks it on the very first question, and the App Store listing is rated accordingly: some of the subjects it covers are not for anyone younger.
- What happens if I stop for a while?
- Your streak drops to zero and your avatar fades day by day. But an absence never costs you more than one level, however long it lasts, and your records stay on screen. After thirty days you retake the diagnostic and choose whether to keep your level or start from where you actually are.
- Are my answers private?
- They are stored in the European Union, attached to an anonymous account created without an email or a password. Two questions are about your health — what you smoke, what you drink: what you declare is up to you, and you can delete your account and all your data from inside the app, in two taps.
- Is there an Android version?
- Not for now. ARDENT is built for iPhone only.
