Understanding XP and Levels

Learn how Finn's XP system works and how to level up faster.

Finn's XP and leveling system turns your productivity into measurable progress. Here's everything you need to know about earning XP and climbing the levels.

How XP Works

XP (Experience Points) is awarded every time you complete a focus session. The amount you earn depends on:

  • Session duration - Longer sessions earn more XP
  • Minimum threshold - Sessions must be at least 15 minutes to earn XP

The formula is simple: focused minutes translate directly into XP rewards.

Leveling Up

As you accumulate XP, you'll progress through levels. Each level requires more XP than the last, reflecting your growing experience as a focused worker.

Your level appears on your dashboard and represents your total productivity journey with Finn - not just today or this week, but your entire history of focused work.

Maximizing Your XP

Consistency Over Intensity

Four 25-minute sessions earn more XP than one 90-minute session, and they're easier to maintain. Plus, regular sessions keep your streak alive.

Complete Your Sessions

Cancelled sessions don't award XP. If you need to stop early, try to pause instead of cancelling - you can resume when you're ready.

Build Your Streak

Daily focus sessions build your streak. While streaks don't directly multiply XP, they help build the habit that leads to more total XP over time.

Why Levels Matter

Levels serve several purposes:

  1. Progress visualization - See your productivity journey at a glance
  2. Motivation - Working toward the next level adds purpose to each session
  3. Achievement unlocks - Certain achievements are tied to reaching specific levels

Common Questions

Do I lose XP if I miss a day? No! Your XP is permanent. Missing a day only affects your streak, not your accumulated XP or level.

Can I earn XP from paused sessions? Yes, as long as you complete the session. Paused time doesn't count toward XP, but the focused time does.

Is there a maximum level? The leveling system is designed to grow with you. Keep focusing, keep earning!

Your level tells the story of your focus journey. Every session adds to it, building something meaningful over time.
