Love this app!

Incredibly simple, and does its job quite well. I think the only things I would ask for is to be able to sync using iCloud, and to have prevention habits (e.g., don’t bite nails). You can export the underlying data as an org file, but that can be a hassle if I wanted to manage my list from multiple places.

Thanks for the review! You can already sync via iCloud with: 1. Menu -> Export (save habits to desired iCloud directory) 2. Menu -> Import -> Open in-place It’s somewhat experimental, so please back up from time to time.

The only habit tracker that’s worked for me

The title says it all. I’ve tried a lot of different habit trackers but I’ve never stuck with one until now. I’ve always been turned off by storing that data in the cloud so I really appreciate this app storing my data on my phone. Also love to support a developer bringing Org Mode to iOS. Well designed, simple and effective software!

Quite nice

A simple straightforward and, most important, open format habit tracking app. Great app.

It simply works.

Love using orgmode on desktop, this fits nicely. Elegant UI, simple interface. Imported my habits.org file, no issues. If there could be a feature for Files.app integration to sync with cloud services like Syncthing, it would be perfect.

Wonderful design choices make this app a joy.

This is exactly what I want in a habit tracker. The data is in an open format (org mode!). The repeating times are flexible. If I miss a specific time, I can still complete it before it recurs. It syncs with whatever backend Files supports. It’s absolutely perfect.

I wonder if changing a specific habit’s frequency could have a more elegant solution. Right now it warns you that it might affect how it is tracked. I don’t have a great solution to this UX problem. But it’s still a place where some clever ideas could make things just a bit better.

Glad you find it useful! Tell your friends ;-) Re: frequency change, the challenge it’s mostly about recalculating streak. If you’re not too worried about potentially losing some of the streak, you’re fine.

New to habits

I’m new to habits but what a great way to try with no overhead but great comfy features.

Simple and effective

No clutter really effective app. Great execution.

Response from developer

Thank you. Glad to hear it’s effective for you.

Was good. Now spewing propaganda

You’ll know it when you’ll see it. Previous review was removed.

Response from developer

Looks like a bot of sorts leaving an unjustified review. This app does not send any messages to users, let alone propaganda. Please don’t harm my app with this review.

Simple, text file based 💜

I love the simple, no bells, no whistles interface. Marking a habit as done is easier than skipping it, as it should be. Because it uses a text file I can use Scriptable or Pyto to create my own widgets. Thank you!

Simple and effective habit tracker

Does everything I want it to
