What is the Eat the Frog method?
It is a productivity approach that asks you to do the most difficult or important task first, before lower-value work can take over your day.
Questions about Rana.
Short answers to what people ask most. Anything else, write to us and a person from the team replies.
Back to RanaWhy only three tasks?
Focus is the point. You can keep up to three open tasks and one frog at a time, with or without Pro. Finish one to add another.
How do points work?
A frog is worth 50 points, plus 25 if you eat it before noon. Other tasks are worth 10. Points count after at least one minute of focus and for your first three completions each day, and your streak adds 5% per day, up to double.
What happens if I give up on a task?
You lose no points. Rana asks why it got away, gives you a tip and lets you slice it into smaller steps and try again.
What if I miss a day?
Your streak resets, but once a month a hibernation day saves one missed day for you. The pond also gets murkier the longer you go without eating a frog.
What does Rana Pro add?
Frog costumes, colours, hair, moves and pond themes, plus deeper statistics such as the heatmap and consistency graph. It never adds more tasks, and levelling up unlocks some costumes for free.
Does it sync, and does it work offline?
Your tasks and progress are saved to your account and sync across your phones and iPad. You need a connection to add or finish tasks; reminders still arrive offline.
Who can see me on the leaderboard?
Other people see only the username you pick, or a masked version of your name, with your rank and points or streak. Your email is never shown.
