## What is Etch?

Etch is a quiet habit tracker. One tap marks the day. Over time, the marks become your rhythm.

CHECK IN WITH ONE TAP
Every habit is a circle. Tap it and it turns white. Missed a day? Step back and fill it in.

SEE YOUR RHYTHM
The Log shows the last 7 days or the last 26 weeks as a grid of dots, so streaks and gaps are easy to spot. Open any habit for its streak, best run, total, and a month-by-month calendar.

SET YOUR OWN PACE
Pick the weekdays each habit is due. Days off show as gray dots and never break a streak, and checking in on a rest day still counts.

FITS YOUR DAY
Up late? Set your day to end as late as 5 a.m., so a check-in after midnight still counts for the day before.

WIDGETS
Check in straight from your Home Screen, and see recent days at a glance, in three sizes.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no ads, no tracking
• Your habits sync through your own private iCloud
• The developer never sees your data
