Every morning, the exercises you completed yesterday are back to "not started". People sometimes read this as the app losing their progress. It has not. Every session you have done is kept in your history and visible to your therapist. What expires is only the day's completion status, and that is deliberate.
Each day is its own prescription
A home exercise program is written in frequency: every day, or three times a week, or twice daily for a particular stretch. Completing Tuesday's set says nothing about Wednesday's. A list that stayed ticked would be true once and misleading from then on. So in KineTrue, an exercise marked completed returns to not started once 24 hours have passed, while the session record behind it stays.
Repetition is what builds the habit
In a University College London study, 96 people each chose a new daily health behaviour and reported every day how automatic it felt. On average it took 66 days for the behaviour to feel automatic, with a range from 18 to 254 days depending on the person and the behaviour. Simple actions settled fastest; a set of sit-ups took longer than a glass of water. Missing a single day did not noticeably set people back. A fresh list each morning is the cue for one more repetition of the behaviour, which is exactly what builds the habit.
Reminders help some people, some of the time
A 2018 systematic review looked at 17 studies of reminder systems in physiotherapy, covering text messages, calls, letters, and email. Six of the 17 reported a positive effect on adherence, and most of the rest did not measure effectiveness at all. Reminders are a nudge, not a solution. What matters more is that the cue arrives and the next step is easy: open the app, the list is ready, start.
What your therapist sees
Your therapist sees a completion percentage for each assigned exercise and the full record of each session. A missed day shows as a missed day. That is more useful to them than a list that looks complete, because it tells them whether the dose, the timing, or the exercise itself needs to change.
If your plan says three days a week, the daily reset is not asking for seven. Follow the frequency your therapist set. The list refreshing is a cue, not an instruction.
