## What is How is it??

It’s easy to forget your progress when you’re frustrated. Mood trackers aren’t reflecting the progress you’ve made and diaries need too much attention. How is it? is the quick and easy solution. Simply open, press a button and that’s it. All just happening on your device.

How is it? is a tool for it to look back, see your progress and spot patterns in your day-to-day routine.

Record your progress

- NEW: Use the Home Screen widget to quickly record on the fly
- NEW: Use the shortcut "Record an entry" in Apple Shortcuts to create automations

Reflect on it
- See your progress daily

Your data, period.
