A balance is easier to act on than a streak.
Instead of asking whether you kept a chain alive, Spark shows the relationship between what you built and how you recovered.
Spark balance
Spark is a balance for effort and rest.
Spark is the number HabitSpark uses to make your time visible. Growth adds to it, and Leisure spends it.
Free core loop. Optional Pro adds deeper review tools, Backup & Restore, custom cap, and unlimited activities.
- Growth sessions add Spark
- Leisure sessions spend Spark
- History keeps sessions visible over time
The balance stays soft.
Spark can guide the next decision, but it is not a blocker. HabitSpark never locks you out of Leisure or tells you a day is ruined.
Meaning
Spark is a cue for the next decision.
A positive balance can make Leisure easier to choose intentionally. A lower balance can suggest that another Growth session might fit first. The point is guidance, not permission.
Soft system
The balance is visible without becoming a lock.
HabitSpark does not block Leisure when Spark is low. It keeps the tradeoff visible so you can decide what kind of session makes sense next.
Real-life workflow
How this can look in a real day.
Start with one Growth activity, one Leisure activity, and a quick review of the balance afterward.

FAQ
Common questions.
Is Spark a score?
Spark is better understood as a balance cue. It helps you see the relationship between Growth and Leisure, but it is not a productivity score.
Can I still track Leisure when Spark is low?
