## What is Habit Chain?

Habit Chain follows the mindset of Jerry Seinfeld's "don't break the chain".  Decide on a habit you want to start (go to the gym) or quit (smoking), and start doing it daily!  Habit Chain is the only unforgiving app out there.  If you miss a day, your entire chain is locked, keeping you motivated to never miss a day.  How long can you go without breaking the chain?

By consistently doing an activity daily you will start to make it a habit.  Using HabitChain can help you stay motivated and track your progress along the way.  Improve your life by learning new skills and practice them daily.

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." -Aristotle

HabitChain is perfect for starting or *quitting* a habit.  Examples:
 + Tell a joke everyday
 + Read an article everyday
 + Stop smoking
 + Play the guitar
 + Eat fruit everyday
 + Go to the gym
 + Run everyday
 + Take a photograph everyday
 + Write a poem
 + Quit drinking
 + One snack a day
 + Learn a new skill
 + Learn a new language
 + Try a new craft
 + Stop eating sweets
 + The possibilities are endless

FAQ:

Once I reach my goal will I still be allowed to check-in?
    - Yes, you can keep checking in and watching your chain grow

Will my chain really be deleted?
    -  If you miss a day your chain will enter a locked state and can only be unlocked via a penalty or choosing to reset your chain.  It's harsh, but is the nature of the app

### 5/5 — Application with a beautiful and intuitive design

*2022-01-30, version 1.9*

The application is amazing!

  But I often have this situation.  When the circuit is broken, I can't restart it.  It throws me out of the app

### 3/5 — Started crashing

*2017-12-21, version 1.9*

I loved this app for a long time but lately if I break a chain the app won’t work. After I break the chain when I try to open the app it just closes immediately. Which means if I’ve got multiple chains and break one I lose them all.  Hope this bug is fixed soon.

### 1/5 — Needs updating

*2017-11-11*

The up now shuts after being open a few seconds, every single time.

### 3/5 — Calendar function

*2017-08-06*

It would be great to see a calendar view for each chain. See how long my previous chain was.
