How It Works
Every day, SmallBoosts generates 3 personalised quests across different pillars. Start a timer, follow the evidence-based instructions, and claim XP when done. Your progress is tracked across a 13-week activity map, pillar breakdown, and streak counter. No gym membership, no long sessions — just consistent, small actions that compound over time.
Evidence-based by Design
Every boost in the library cites a peer-reviewed study. You can read the scientific basis, view the source publication, and explore the measured health impacts for each activity. SmallBoosts surfaces the research so you can make informed choices about your well-being routine.
