Treatment Consistency Tracker

Why consistency matters more than almost anything else

Across every treatment covered on this site — minoxidil, finasteride, PRP — the single biggest factor separating people who see results from people who don't isn't which specific product they used, it's whether they used it consistently for long enough. Skipping even one or two days a week, repeated over months, meaningfully extends the timeline before you can fairly judge whether a treatment is working, and is one of the most common reasons people give up on a treatment that would have worked with better adherence. See our minoxidil timeline guide for why the early months especially reward consistency.

How this tracker works, and why it's private

Tap today's dot each day you take your treatment. Your streak counts consecutive logged days; your monthly percentage shows overall adherence for the current month. Everything is stored locally in your browser only — nothing is sent to us, there's no account, and no one else can see your data. This also means it won't sync between your phone and computer, and will be lost if you clear your browser's storage.

What a realistic adherence target looks like

Perfect 100% adherence is a nice goal but not strictly necessary — research on real-world medication adherence generally suggests that consistency above roughly 80% still produces meaningfully better outcomes than sporadic use. The goal of this tracker isn't guilt over occasional missed days; it's building enough visibility into your own patterns to catch a slipping habit before it becomes a multi-week gap that genuinely undermines your results.

Simple ways to improve your own consistency

• Pair application with an existing daily habit (right after brushing your teeth, for example) rather than relying on remembering it standalone.
• Keep the product somewhere you'll actually see it daily, not tucked away in a cabinet.
• Use this tracker itself as a visual trigger — checking in to log today's dose is a small habit that reinforces the larger one.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What happens if I miss a day — do I lose my whole streak?
A: Yes, the streak counter resets, which is intentional — it's meant to reflect genuine consecutive consistency. Don't let a reset discourage you; your monthly percentage still reflects overall adherence even after a missed day.

Q: Can I track both minoxidil and finasteride separately?
A: This version tracks one combined routine. If you want to track each separately, consider using the tracker on two different days of a shared log, or simply treat "did I complete today's full routine" as the single question.

Q: Will I lose my data if I switch devices?
A: Yes — since data is stored only in this browser, switching phones or computers, or clearing browser data, will reset your log. There's currently no account system or cloud sync.
