SCIENCE-BACKED METHOD TO BUILD BETTER HABITS
Most habit trackers fail. They try to motivate you with games like streaks and trophies only to turn on you when you fall off. Building habits doesn’t have to be miserable.

60 REPETITIONS
Studies show that a new behavior needs to be repeated 60 times for it to stick. It doesn’t matter if you miss a day or break a streak. It just matters that you do it 60 times. Great habit builders learn to ignore the goal and falling in love with the journey.

WE’RE YOUR GUIDE
Every day we will help you take another step and guide you along your journey to reach 60 repetitions until you’ve mastered your new habit.

NO GUILT. NO STREAKS. NO PHONY REWARDS.
If you miss a day or two, we don’t guilt you.

JUST GOOD FUN VIBES.
Every step forward is progress.

WHAT SMALL THING YOU COULD YOU DO TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE?
Works for any habit: meditate, walk, stretch, floss, read, journal, draw, keep in touch with family, or less time on screens.

WIDGETS & REMINDERS TO STAY MOTIVATED
Track your habits on your home screen for easy access.

SKINS TO CUSTOMIZE
Skins change the whole look and feel of the app. New skins and artist collaborations released occasionally.

It’s great! A few minor tweaks would be nice though

I love the app all in all and I feel it’s the first app that has kept me honest with my habits. A few suggestions I feel would improve things much further would be: Please make it so we can switch habits by swiping let or right on most of the screen. Right now most anywhere on the screen that we touch “presses” the center checkmark button. And habits are relegated to a tiny font at the top and that’s the only spot we can switch. It would be more dynamic if the font for the habit was larger and the center button was smaller, and swiping a where else on the screen left or right would switch between habits. Likely with your brand of sleek but snappy animation. The more I think about this the more I want it.

Also it would be interesting if progress on the little figurines was lost if you break a streak. This may be extreme but it can be an optional thing.

Fantastic app with two flaws

I absolutely love the artistry and interface. One of the flaws (biggest one) is not having cross device support. I understand you’d have to have a database and hold user data for this which would cost you instead of holding all the data locally on the user’s device. I’d suggest adding another pricing tier to add this feature. I’d pay it. I use my MacBook, 2 iPads, and iPhone interchangeably and it’s frustrating not being able to track habits from different devices. Add this feature and you’ll have 5 stars. On top of being able to seamlessly track habits across devices (without having to click a button like restore), it would be great to access skins this way as well instead of unlocking them on each device. Second flaw is not having a landscape view.

Bonus extra work: create icon sets to match the artistry of the app and wallpapers. Jump onboard iOS16 developer beta and create some new Lock Screen skins. Create a daily task manager app. You’ll be making booku bucks. :) just a suggestion.

Love it!

A. The only app that isn’t going to look over my shoulder saying “whatcha doing now?” Love that.
Science based but doesn’t assume they know more than I do about which habit to start with. I love that I didn’t have to start with “drinking water” for 7 days before I could move forward.
As an easily discouraged perfectionist, I LOVE that if you miss a day (or a week) that it doesn’t become the app of shame. I never know if I should start over or quit. So I put my tail between my legs and delete it. BTW who ARE these people that start and just consistently bullet their way through a new habit and why do they even need an app for that?
True - that when I swipe right I expect to go to the last screen I was on but when my little iceberg or mountain thingy spins and flips instead I’m fine with it :-)
