## What is Nested?

— Meet the nested habit —

Nested habits are grouped within a goal, so your tracking can reflect the way you actually live.

Say your goal is to work out three times a week. Sometimes you run and sometimes you go to yoga. Nest Run and Yoga under Workout, and doing either one counts as completing a workout.

Or set a goal that requires every nested habit. Your Nighttime Routine includes Take Vitamins, Wash Face, and Read. The routine then only checks off once you've completed them all.

Nested habits give you the flexibility to track different ways to reach a goal or every step required to complete it.


— Keep a journal —

Add a journal entry to any habit to capture your thoughts, reflections, or progress. Every entry collects in the Journal tab, a searchable archive of everything you've written. Try Daily Gratitude, Goals for the Week, or Book Review.


— Streaks that forgive —

Miss once and your streak holds: a daily habit forgives a day, a weekly habit forgives a week. Going on vacation, or home sick? Pause the habit and your streak survives on purpose.


— Nested does not collect your data —

We collect nothing. There are no accounts, servers, analytics, ads, or third-party trackers. Everything you create in Nested lives locally on your device and personal backups.

### 5/5 — Perfect Habit Tracker!

*2026-10-18*

FINALLY!! I’ve been begging for a habit tracking app like this that has this kind of functionality for “nesting” smaller components of my habits/routines/goals, etc within my broader category headings. It’s so much more useful and practical for the way my calendar and to-do lists actually work in the real world. The timelines are also much more accurate than in other apps since it allows for each of the various components of a habit to overlap and operate across different time intervals. Super clever design.

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

*2026-10-15*

Amazing app! Easy to use, uncluttered, and versatile. Also I love that it’s private and all the data is on my iPad. It feels great to track my goals just the way I want.
