How Winlo Works

A weekly habit competition with your friends — consistency, points, and a reason to win.

The goal

Get better, together.

  • Winlo is a weekly habit competition with your friends.
  • Stay consistent, earn points, and finish at the top of the leaderboard.
  • Leagues can have up to 12 members.
The rhythm

Weekly schedule

  • Each competition runs Monday through Saturday.
  • You can join a competition any time before Wednesday.
  • Habits can be edited Sunday through Tuesday.
  • You can only log today's and yesterday's habits.
  • The week results are finalized on Sunday at noon Pacific Time.
  • Sunday is a day to rest, reflect, and prepare for next week.
The format

What you track

  • Each week includes 3 habits, 2 avoids, and 1 weekly challenge.
  • Admins define the habit bank — the set of habits and avoids you choose from.
  • Members can suggest new habits, but they require admin approval.
  • Habits and avoids are tracked daily.
  • The weekly challenge is completed once per week.
The scoring

Points

Habit 15 pts
Avoid 10 pts
Weekly challenge 100 pts
Daily consistency bonus 5+ habits/day
  • Hit 5 or more habits in a day to earn a daily consistency bonus.
What you play for

Incentives

Admins choose the league's incentive structure.

Bragging Rights

Compete for the leaderboard and weekly wins.

Custom Prize

The admin sets a non-cash prize — like coffee, choosing the next challenge, or donating to a cause.

The trust

Honor system

  • Winlo relies on honest tracking.
  • Only mark something complete if you actually did it.
  • The purpose is accountability, not perfection.
Staying in the game

Participation

  • You must be active to be included in the weekly rankings.
  • You can choose to sit out a week if you need a break.
  • Join on Monday or Tuesday and you can play, but you'll be inactive that week and not ranked.
  • Season eligibility is based on how many weeks you are active.
The long game

Seasons

  • A Season is an optional long-term competition that runs alongside the weekly game.
  • Seasons can last 4, 8, or 12 weeks.
  • Everyone gets one bye week — your lowest week is dropped from your Season score.
  • Season rankings are based on your average weekly points during the Season.
  • Like the weekly game, Seasons can play for bragging rights or a custom non-cash prize.
Running the league

Admins

  • Admins manage league settings.
  • Admins can edit the habit bank and weekly / season prizes.
  • Admins can assign other members to be admins.
  • Admins can mark members active or inactive if they forget to set their status.
