Developer recommendations below *2023-07-30, version 1.1* I think this app serves its purpose and works quite well. I like how easy it is to set up a new habit and start tracking it day by day. It's pretty simple, and there's slight customization. I would like to see some improvement in the app's visual design. It functions well, but I prefer the calendar view to show dates and months. It would help to visualize progress if it was revealed that way. I would also like to see a scroller for each day on the home screen. It only shows the current day and the previous three days, but it would be nice to scroll through and go back in time. These features could be added to the app without removing from its unique design. Overall the app is straightforward, and it works well. It's easy to use with a creative design. Props to the developer/s. Keep working on it, and good things will come. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Great app, very simple! *2023-07-28, version 1.1* Love the design, very simple and easy to get a bird’s eye view of habits. Would love to see option to choose more colours so one can differentiate between multiple habits and also -widgets for home screen! Otherwise great app, thanks so much! ### 5/5 — Beautiful habit app *2023-07-13, version 1.1* Please never change this app, I love it so much! First of all, it’s very aesthetically appealing — uncluttered but intentional in what is there. It’s also very gentle compared to many other habit trackers — no pushy notifications & no pressure to create streaks. Just perfect for what I wanted. Thank you very much. ### 5/5 — Soothing and Comforting *2023-07-10, version 1.1* This is one of the best habit trackers I have. It is not bothering me. This is perfect for me who is someone indecisive. I want to customize and not customize at the same time. I love everything about this. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ ### 5/5 — Habit tracker comparison *2023-04-16, version 1.1* I literally downloaded like 6 habit tracking apps and I strongly prefer this one due to simplicity and design. However - my only one wish please!!!! Is create a widget version so I can see the progress visually without clicking on the app itself. If it had that it would be perfect! I’ll still try it and see how it goes without the widget! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Best in category! *2023-03-29, version 1.1* Everything what my ADD brain needs. Nothing my ADD brain doesn’t need. And perfect alignment with libre ideals! May I suggest that you make a tiny update, just so that the App Store can tout your impeccable privacy policy! ### 5/5 — review title *2023-03-27, version 1.1* This is a good and super simple habit tracker. I actually installed several habit trackers of different complexity to see what worked best for me, and this seemed to suit my needs the most. It’s a little buggy (I am actually not sure how to delete a habit…) and sometimes I end up on a screen with a giant square with uncertainty of where to go except to tap frantically, but ultimately the mild chaos of this experience is preferable to other habit tracking apps which seek to monetize my very existence. I recommend this helpful little app, it’s a good replacement for doing this in a notebook. :) ### 5/5 — In love 😍 *2023-03-24, version 1.1* I’m strongly infatuated with the tone and philosophy of this meta habit app. Will it last? I would love a feature to create a custom color set. I am highly color opinionated and while the default color packs are certain to please I could see myself desiring something visually different in the future. ### 5/5 — Great app, very simple! *2023-03-20* Love the design, very simple and easy to get a bird’s eye view of habits. Would love to see option to choose more colours so one can differentiate between multiple habits and also -widgets for home screen! Otherwise great app, thanks so much! **Developer response:** Thank you!! Widgets are top of mind, and I desperately want new color options as well. Stay tuned! ### 5/5 — PERFECT! *2023-02-15, version 1.1* It’s free. It’s got no ads. It’s got no subscriptions. It’s got unlimited habits to track. It’s minimal!! It’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a habit tracker without everything I’ve hated in a habit tracker. Sleek, multiple themes, and beautiful views. The only thing I’d change is maybe a few more pixel colors to tap through and perhaps a hex code picker to choose colors for the theme. But that would be something I’d donate $5 for! ### 5/5 — The habit tracker that works best with my brain. *2023-01-21, version 1.1* I’ve tried a lot of habit trackers. Most of them last a few weeks, tops. I’ve had this one for six months, and I’m still going strong. I find it less stressful than other trackers, from the minimalistic interface, to it only tracking a month (I find that makes it easier for me to pick my streak back up if I miss a day or two). It’s a great little app. ### 5/5 — Amazing app - so perfect *2023-01-04, version 1.1* Fit for purpose. Simple and intuitive. It’s free, but I’d pay for it. ### 5/5 — Genuinely grateful *2022-07-13, version 1.1* I haven’t been nearly as productive before I started using this app <3 thank u dev(s) for your hard work and kindness :) let me know if you have a patreon or something! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Great start *2021-04-17, version 1.1* Great start, then no updates at all. Too bad. ### 3/5 — Incorrect Dates *2025-12-06, version 1.1* Hi I just downloaded the app but I’m not able to see the correct dates for the month. The dates are starting from 18th December even though today is the 7th of December. ### 3/5 — Almost what I needed *2023-07-04, version 1.1* I keeping similar type of notes as provided in the app for a long time, but hand-drawn. It’s damn helpful for me, and I’m looking for some automation. This app looks almost like a thing, but I really lack possibly to scroll the calendar forward, so it would enable me to plan thing forward, not only keep my history track. As a fan of this type of notes I highly recommend you to add this feature, moreover it shouldn’t be complicated. ### 4/5 — Love it and use it religiously, got a bug though *2024-02-29, version 1.1* I use this app everyday but it’s starting being funny and not opening. When I click it on my home screen it just closes. Would love it if this could be fixed! ### 4/5 — Good but.. *2023-11-08, version 1.1* I like it but it doesn’t let you create an account so no way to save your statistics.. ### 4/5 — Needs a widget and custom colors *2023-08-01, version 1.1* Cool and simple app. Widget and custom colors would be great additions. ### 4/5 — How do you delete a habit? *2023-06-13, version 1.1* Love this app. Only thing that would make it better is if you could delete a habit. No idea how to do this. ### 4/5 — Good but... *2023-03-17, version 1.1* Really good and easy but it is just hard to see well with nothing outlined. If the individual squares and lines were outlined. ### 4/5 — Simple & effective! *2021-07-07, version 1.1* This is a beautiful app — simple and effective, and best of all not locked behind the dreaded subscription paywall! The only feature that I’m truly desperate to see added is customizable colors. I know this sounds strange, but certain combinations of colors make me feel ill (perhaps synesthesia-related), and unfortunately almost all of the current themes have this effect on me. A pleasing color scheme is important for an app like this since it’s something the user has to look at multiple times per day, and I think it would be possible to implement this feature without breaking the minimalist aesthetic that you’ve created. I would definitely be willing to pay for a feature like this! Other than that, wonderful concept and execution. Thank you for your hard work! ### 4/5 — Just a quick question: *2021-01-04, version 1.1* Thank you for this great app: I downloaded it today and am already loving it. Unfortunately, I made a typo when entering a new habit and can’t seem to delete the habit — could you please let me know if this is possible? Thanks again :) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Beautiful + feature request *2026-06-30, version 1.1* I love this app! Simple! Beautiful! Useful! Local first (only). It would be so incredibly useful to me if there were a way to export my data as a CSV, even if it were just a button to copy it to my clipboard so i could paste it in an email to myself! ### 5/5 — Perfect!!! *2026-05-31, version 1.1* I have tried so many habit trackers and all of them have been too much or they have costed too much money or too many ads. This app, however, has been perfect for my habits, and I love to see how the month comes together. It does so much more than apps that make you pay for subscriptions do, and it is simple and easy to use. The only thing I might suggest is a few more themes. I really like the one that seems to be in night mode or something, but a few more with duller/more muted colors would be great and more easy on the eyes. However, it’s still easy to live without these and I would happily use it with the existing themes for many more months to come. ### 5/5 — It just fits perfectly! *2026-04-23, version 1.1* Finally a tracker that gives you the freedom to create your own meaning in tasks and habits…it’s the magic solution for me. I genuinely look forward to tracking my progress every day, even on the bad days. Thank you! ### 5/5 — been using this for the last 3 years and it’s made my life better *2026-01-04, version 1.1* I never write reviews but this is one of my favorite apps i use it daily to track my habits and have made a habit of tracking my life for a while now. Just wanted to say thank you to the dev ### 5/5 — Widget Format? *2025-12-24, version 1.1* Love the simplicity of the app. Would love to see a widget version one day! ### 5/5 — Great for Minimalists *2025-04-24, version 1.1* Simplifies habit tracking down to the essentials. And it’s free! I always feel inundated by other apps bc there’s so much going on, so I come back to this app again and again because it keeps things straightforward and trackable. There could be some improvements with stats, but I’m very happy w my experience so far. Update - one suggestion. I think this would benefit from having a widget. Rather than having to tap into the screen, I’d love to see my progress from the Home Screen through a widget. It would serve as a great reminder on what habits I still would like to get done for the day. ### 5/5 — Great for Minimalists *2024-10-08* Simplifies habit tracking down to the essentials. And it’s free! I always feel inundated by other apps bc there’s so much going on, so I come back to this app again and again because it keeps things straightforward and trackable. There could be some improvements with stats, but I’m very happy w my experience so far. ### 5/5 — Love love love! *2024-06-29, version 1.1* everything i was looking for in a digital habit tracker :) It would be cool if you could see some stats, such as longest streak, but even now i love the simplicity in it. (also no ads!! perf when you're just trying to stay focused) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-12-17, version 1.1* This app is the best habit tracker I’ve used. I especially love the color palettes and the simple blocky visuals. You can also change the placements of the habits easily. If this app had a widget to show the visual squares, it would be close to perfect. I also think customizable colors instead of themes could be a cool feature, but it’s not as needed. With this app, I’m able to quickly and visually understand my personal daily trends. I genuinely believe this app will make my life better. ### 5/5 — it is simple *2023-08-29, version 1.1* i like the philosophy here: • no set instructions (though it has some handy inspiration) • both tasks and responses are completely up to the user • minimalist design • no advertisements, internet connection, nor accounts needed; nothing distracting the user from the task • no numbers, just visible pixels it is simplistic, and for the better, thanks! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
