Best simple habit tracker
I’ve used pretty much every habit tracker out there (most recently Streaks). They’re all bloated with features I don’t need and incentivize streaks, which are useful short-term but shouldn’t be the sole focus.
Logger’s beauty is in giving you a simple visualization of your day - week - month - year. Skipped a day? Doesn’t matter - your week / month / year is still all green. It helps you build momentum and visualize consistency over chasing streaks. The simplicity of it is beautiful.
Small wish list
- I’d love more widget options, both the smallest type and the largest one.
- I’d love a way to hide habits (without deleting them) Especially for negative habits, I may not want to have them front and center if I open the app or share with other ppl.

Dark patterns for payments
The app is good and all, but if you use it too much then you have to start paying for it and by use it too much I mean, simply checking boxes, not a number of habits or tracking, but total number of checks is paywalled.
This is completely a dark pattern as it gates the core functionality of the app. Nothing premium.

Simple and effective
I stumbled upon this app on Twitter right around the start of the new year and thought I’d give it a try to keep up with my habits.
I’ve tried many habit tracking apps before. This one is different. It doesn’t try to do too much, and it stays out of your way. The focus is on exactly what it should be - your habits - without any distractions. In fact, it’s the only habit tracking app that has actually turned into a daily habit itself.
I spend most of my time in the week view mode and once in a while look at the month and year views for perspective. I also reframed bad habits (red) into good habits (green) and strive to have a screen full of green each week. It reminds me of the Github contribution graph. I use it to follow the two-day rule, which is to never skip two days in a row.
As far as the few people here who are salty about paying $2.99 per month, that’s a personal decision. For me, so far at least, it’s the best $3 I spend each month and has had an outsized impact on my life. I also think that people who spend time and effort to create products and services for the benefit of others should not be expected to work for free. I’m happy to buy this developer (whoever they are) half a cup of coffee each month as thanks for making this app.

Simple yet data rich, but the pricing kills it
Really like the simplicity and design of the app. Completion visibility by day, week and month for trends looks like just what I want as I’ve started and rarely stuck with other habit tracker apps. It’s new and a little rough around the edges, but promising.
It’s just the pricing that’s just too high. I’m not averse to paying for software (subscribed to Creative Cloud, 1Password, Bear, Strava, Spotify, Dropbox off the top of my head) and I certainly don’t think it should be free. But $30 a year or $90 lifetime is just hard to swallow. $10 a year, sure?

Solid app but the subscription feels unnecessary
Really enjoyed this app but was disappointed to realize it required a subscription. For the functionality being offered, I would happily pay a reasonable one time fee but $90 or $3 a month is too much.
