## What is Habitly?

Every habit tracker on the App Store is just a checkbox with a streak counter behind it.
The checkbox is the problem. It costs nothing to tap, which means the streak it produces is worth exactly nothing and everyone using one of these apps knows it.

Habitly is built on the exact opposite bet: make the check-in cost effort, and the streak actually means something.
When you create a new habit, you choose exactly how you want to be held accountable. Habitly offers three strict verification methods:

- Photo Proof: Habitly generates a unique, one time code. You must take a live photo with that code visible in the frame. You cannot upload a photo from your library, and you cannot submit the same photo twice.

- GPS Check In: Confirms you are actually doing the work by verifying you are standing inside a specific map radius you drew.

- Avoidance Zones: The exact inverse of a check in, verifies that you are successfully staying out of a specific location you are trying to avoid.

- We also have a Top Notch Water Tracking System, just for you.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-17

WATER TRACKING
Your jug starts full every morning and empties as you drink. Drag it
to wherever your water actually is, no counting in your head, no
guessing. Empty the jug and the day is settled.

Pick the goal that fits you: a gallon, half a gallon, two liters, one
liter, or just a few glasses. Glasses work by the glass, tap one as
you drink it, and tap it back if you got ahead of yourself.

Drank a glass, a bottle, a big bottle? Log it in one tap and the jug
drops to match.


HOME SCREEN WIDGETS

The jug, so you can see what's left without opening the app and log
a glass straight from the home screen.

Today's contracts, showing what you've settled, what's still open, and
what each one costs you if you skip it. Check off the ones that don't
need proof right from the widget. The ones that do still need their
proof. No shortcuts.

### 1.1.5 — 2026-08-15

We continue to improve our app everyday so that we can stay up to date with the latest and greatest!
- Fixed Google Sign-In Bug (You can now sign-in using your google account)

### 1.1.4 — 2026-08-11

Fixed Photo Proof feature, it now reads your code super accurately.

When you check in with a photo, Habitly reads the one time code out of the
shot and compares it to the code you were given. If it isn't there, or it
doesn't match, the check-in is rejected. Write it clearly and keep it in
frame.
If the check can't run at all (no signal, for example), your day is left
alone instead of being marked as a miss. A connection problem should never
cost you a streak.

### 1.1.3 — 2026-08-08

Habit reminders now arrive with Habitly's own notification sound instead of the
default system chime, so you can tell them apart at a glance.

### 1.1.2 — 2026-08-07

New Icon, Profile photo bug was fixed, Sharable streak cards, minor bug fixes.
