Loam — Calm Habit Tracker
Grow a plant, not a streak
About
This app helps you build habits gently by growing a virtual plant instead of tracking streaks. It offers privacy, no ads, and optional integration with Apple Health for automatic completion.
What's New in Loam
2.2
September 25, 2026
Thank you for reviewing Loam! WHAT CHANGED IN THIS UPDATE - Added a one-time App Store rating prompt using Apple's native API (SwiftUI's requestReview / StoreKit). No custom rating dialog, no incentive, and nothing is gated behind leaving a review. - The prompt appears at most once per install: only after the user has completed every habit scheduled for the day AND has used the app on at least 3 separate days. It shows 1.5 seconds after the sprout finishes growing, never mid-task. The system decides whether to display it and limits how often it appears. - Settings → "Rate Loam" is a permanent, user-initiated row that opens the App Store write-review page. GENERAL - No user accounts or sign-in. All data is stored locally on-device with SwiftData. - No subscriptions. The only in-app purchases are optional one-time tips ($1.99 / $4.99 / $9.99) that unlock nothing. - The Apple Watch app and complication are free for everyone. HOW TO TEST 1. Launch → complete (or Skip) onboarding to reach the Today tab. 2. Tap "+" → New Habit → enter a name, pick an icon/color/schedule → Create Habit. 3. On Today, tap a habit's "Tend" control to complete it; the sprout grows. 4. Settings → Rate Loam opens the App Store review page. (Note: per Apple's design, the automatic rating prompt does not appear in TestFlight or review builds.) PRIVACY No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. The only network activity is Apple's StoreKit for the optional tip. Forecasts run on-device with Core ML.
