### 5/5 — Loving the app

*2026-08-02, version 1.2.2*

I have only been using this app for the past two weeks but love it already. I was using BeOrg before but the todos therein got in the way of my habit todos. I couldn’t recommend this enough

### 4/5 — Love this app!

*2024-09-20, version 1.2.2*

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.

### 5/5 — Great! Would love some widgets though ;)

*2024-09-10*

I use Widgets quite allot. Saves me from going the extra step of opening the app. The less friction the better.

### 5/5 — The only habit tracker that’s worked for me

*2024-07-09*

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!

### 5/5 — Quite nice

*2024-07-02*

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

### 4/5 — It simply works.

*2024-06-15*

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.

### 5/5 — Wonderful design choices make this app a joy.

*2024-04-22, version 1.2.2*

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.

### 5/5 — New to habits

*2024-03-24, version 1.2.2*

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

### 5/5 — Plain text is king

*2023-10-14*

syncing can be set up through the „import“ option

### 5/5 — Simple and Effective

*2023-08-27*

A very sleek app. It’s uncluttered and minimalistic interface leads to a very unobstructed user experience.
I previously had another habit tracking app that while also a good app had simply too many features and got me configuring the app more than tracking habits.
Org-mode integration is also a plus 🦄

**Developer response:** Much appreciated. Glad to hear it. Thank you.
