## What is HABIT?

HABIT helps you interrupt unwanted habits with private, on-device planning, daily check-ins, and a growing forest that reflects your consistency.

HOW IT WORKS
Create an if-then plan for the habit you want to break. Name the trigger, choose a replacement action, and keep the plan ready when an urge shows up.

THREE TREES FREE
Your first 3 habits are free. Each habit gets its own tree, streak, check-in history, and progress. Swipe between trees and build a forest you can name.

PRIVATE CHECK-INS
Log each day with simple prompts for urge, mood, stress, slips, and notes. Your routine records stay on your device unless you explicitly choose context or attachments for Online Coach processing.

TREE GROWTH AND STREAKS
Your tree grows as your streak grows. Stage-up moments use animation and haptics so progress feels visible without turning the app into noise.

SMART LOCAL REMINDERS
HABIT avoids notification spam. By default it schedules a consolidated daily check-in reminder and, when needed, a streak-risk reminder before the day ends.

HABIT COACH
Use the local Coach for on-device guidance. When online Coach is enabled and you choose to use it, your message and only the context you select are processed through HABIT's authenticated service by Anthropic. HABIT Coach uses AI and is not a person, medical care, therapy, or crisis support. You can disable online processing in Settings and keep using the local Coach.

HABIT PRO
HABIT Pro expands your forest to 20 habit trees and adds advanced progress insights, forest personalization, and access to the online HABIT Coach subject to server-enforced monthly limits. Monthly and annual plans are available. Eligible new annual subscribers may receive a seven-day trial when the App Store confirms eligibility before purchase.

PRIVACY FIRST
After the age-and-region check, HABIT requires a verified account before opening the main app or processing a Pro purchase or restore. Your encrypted local repository is preserved while you create or verify the account; production sync remains disabled until its end-to-end encrypted recovery path is reviewed and verified. No ads. No ad-tech tracking. Purchases are verified through the app stores and RevenueCat.

HABIT is a self-guided tracking and reflection tool. It is not a medical device, therapy, treatment program, or crisis service. It does not provide medical advice or diagnoses.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-08-19*

The app has a sleek and simple design that allows you to effectively break habits all while having something fun to do in the meantime with building your forest. I love how clean the design is without feeling overwhelming or complicated. Also the straightforwardness helps you to not spend as much time thinking about a habit to break rather than working towards breaking it. Highly recommend.
