## What is Tickmate 1?

Tickmate allows you to track any daily occurrences. It is a is a 1-bit journal, meaning each day is either ticked or not. You can track anything from habits you wish to build or break to how often you wash your hair.

Use a "reversed" track for occurrences you don't want to happen, so they're automatically ticked unless you untick them.

You can use the "allow multiple" feature to be able to tick a single day multiple times.

There are 3 sizes of customizable widgets to add to your Home Screen or Today View.

Unlock the premium groups feature to swipe between different sets of tracks, perfect to separate daily tasks from occasional occurrences.

With iCloud sync, all your data will be securely synced across all devices.

### 3/5 — Great concept, though 🫤

*2023-08-15*

I wish the app could let me choose how tracks appear on the main screen - not some limited variety of icons but actual words (ie: laundry, diary, workout, no junk food, etc etc) and/or system emojis!
