## What is Habit Tracker?

Ripples is an app that can help you make new habits stick and be more consistent with any goal you're working towards. It provides an easy way to check in on the actions you're tracking and then displays your progress in a calendar grid, making it easy to see patterns and potential areas for improvement.

CALENDAR GRID
It gives you a bird's-eye view of your progress, it's purely visual and intuitive. Each cell of the grid changes color depending on your activity on a specific day. It tracks either the number of times you check in or a specific amount (time, distance, calories, money, etc.) depending on your preference. Cells with higher values become more prominent. Over time you'll be able to see patterns on the grid: days when you're making a lot of progress and days when you're falling behind. This gives you data to adjust things in real life and improve.

VITAL METRICS AND ANALYTICS
For every tracked action, you can see metrics like the current and best streak, consistency score and your overall progress for a given day, week, month and year. And if you want to dive even deeper into stats, there are multiple charts and visualizations of your data that give a historical overview of the progress.

TRACKING AMOUNTS
This gives you an option to add a value and a unit to the action you're tracking. For example, you can track how much time you spent on your goal, how much money you saved or spent, or anything that requires distance, mass, calories, etc. And you can also add custom units. All visualizations for actions with amounts will adjust and take into account values that you enter: the grid will highlight cells with larger amounts and breakdown charts will also be amount-based instead of just counting the number of check-ins.

REMINDERS
For every action you track in Ripples, you can set multiple daily reminders to help you remember and build a habit. You can also set a single review reminder to go back and check in on actions you might have forgotten to track.

NOTES AND JOURNAL
You can take notes alongside every check-in when hitting important milestones or just highlighting things to look back on. These notes are organized in a dedicated Journal view where you can explore and search all your notes.

SHORTCUTS AND SIRI
You can integrate Ripples shortcuts into your automation workflows and use Siri phrases to check in on your progress.

WIDGETS
Interactive Home Screen and Control Center widgets keep important goals always in sight and let you check in without even opening the app. The widget shows the grid, the name of the action you're tracking, as well the time of your last check-in or the current amount value for the day. There are multiple widget styles to choose from to fit the aesthetics of your home screen.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN!
Habits and goals are some of the most personal and sensitive aspects of people's lives. That's why with Ripples all your data can be seen by you exclusively and leaves your devices only for synchronization via iCloud while being end-to-end encrypted. Privacy is one of the core principles and it goes across every technical or design decision during development.

### 4/5 — ..

*2026-06-27*

The Korean translation needs significant improvement. As it stands, it’s worse than a machine translation.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! I’d appreciate if you reach out via email (in app settings), I’d be happy to work with a native speaker to improve the translations.

### 5/5 — Great Habit Tracker

*2026-06-22*

I tried a lot of habit trackers. Others are way too expensive or overly animated and cute. This one strikes a great balance of easy function, polished interface, and a nice ripple animation. And the widgets are very well done. Highly recommended!

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 4/5 — Beautifully designed

*2026-06-09*

Updated (6/9/26)
Appreciate the updates. Keeps improving. Particularly like the new compact minimalist view. 

Few more requests:
- Time elapsed since last entry. (Relative dates)
- Photo attachments to journal entries would be a nice touch. 
- Still needs some kind of categorizing capability to filter/search in a long list or spotlight integration at least. Scrolling through a long list gets tedious when you have many things to track. 
- Reiterate the importance of an Apple Watch app to complete the experience.

Previous:
Just Needs filtering — Categories or tags (preferably) and an Apple Watch app. 

Other than that it’s quite appealing.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the detailed feedback! I’m keeping track of all feature requests, including the things you’ve mentioned. Will get to everything eventually, Apple Watch support is one of the top priorities.

### 5/5 — Really addicting

*2026-05-30*

I’m a developer so I can definitely understand the GitHub feel of keeping the streak up. Super simple and easy to use!

**Developer response:** Thank you! Glad to hear this from a fellow dev 🙌

### 5/5 — One of My Favorite Apps!

*2026-05-29*

Truly one of the most useful apps for me. I use it every single day. Reminds me of the good old days of Apps when they were useful first and foremost and not overloaded with bloat.

Edit - so happy to have compact boards now! One of the best apps keeps getting better and more useful!

**Developer response:** Thank you! A more compact layout is on my list.

### 5/5 — Actually goated

*2026-05-28*

This is by far the best habit tracking app I’ve tried. Simple, clean, customizable, and you’re able to track easily from your Home Screen with the widgets. 11/10

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 5/5 — Супер, но пока карандашом…

*2026-04-24, version 2.3.1*

Добавьте русский язык. Приложение отличное, в дальнейшем бы взял полную версию. Но обделили русских пользователей

### 5/5 — O melhor da Categoria

*2026-04-23, version 2.3.1*

Estou totalmente satisfeito com o App. Ele entrega exatamente o que eu procurava a anos e nunca encontrei. Com ele eu posso rastrear meus hábitos com registros precisos como, diário, data, e horário de cada checkin.

### 4/5 — I liked but…

*2026-04-16, version 2.3.1*

The app is absolutely good it’s excellent but when I make a task and I asigned a hour to remind me it dosnt send me a notification to remind me I already check everything I allow notifications I check the day the hours everything and it dosnt work for me I would like that it send my the notification because it’s abosulutely good this app maybe is a bug I would like a anwser

### 3/5 — Great App, Needs Notification Fix

*2026-04-06*

I really enjoy using this app and rely on it every day. The overall experience is great. However, I’ve noticed that notifications don’t always work reliably — even when enabled, I sometimes miss reminders or board updates. Fixing this would make the app even better.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! I worked on the notification scheduling robustness in the latest update, hope it addresses the issue you’ve mentioned.
