What is The Pixel Challenge?
The Pixel Challenge is a Chrome extension that transforms your New Tab page into a personal habit tracker. Each day you complete your goal, a pixel lights up on your dashboard, visually representing your progress over time. The tool encourages consistency through streaks: consecutive days of completion build your streak, while a missed day resets it to zero.
Designed for personal growth, The Pixel Challenge lets you set a specific goal and choose a challenge duration of 30, 100, or 365 days, with the option to customize the length. The extension is highly customizable, allowing you to hide elements and set background images. A PRO version offers multiple challenges, mobile access, dark mode, and device syncing for a fee.
