Norse mythValhalla: Earn your seat in the hall, one ordinary day at a time.
No one is chosen for the hall. You earn the seat.
Valhalla is a habit tracker set in the Norse world. Five habits arrive each morning. The work carries you up eight ranks, from Thrall to Einherjar, the warriors who feast in Valhalla.
How a day works
Pick two of five runes to focus on. Each morning, five habits are drawn with those in mind.
Do what you can. Each one earns glory.
Glory raises your level. Levels raise your rank. Rank never falls.
Swear an oath
Pick one habit and promise to do it every day for a week. Put some of your glory on it. Keep the promise and you win it back doubled. Break it and you lose what you staked, but never your rank.
Fill the hall
Keep one rune going for seven days and a warrior takes a seat in your longhouse. There are twelve seats. Once a seat is filled, it stays filled.

Questions
Do I need to know Norse mythology?
No. The app explains every word as you go, and the habits themselves are everyday ones: push-ups, reading, sleep, a walk.
What happens if I break an oath?
You lose the glory you staked on it. Your rank stays exactly where it is.
Do I need an account?
No. Your deeds are stored on your phone and the app works offline.
Is this therapy?
No. Valhallauses behavioural activation, a method from psychology, but it doesn't diagnose or treat anything. How the method works.
