## What is Visual Habit Tracker?

Build habits with a visual tracker that makes daily progress easy to see—and easier to continue. Ripples turns every check-in into a clear, color-coded picture of your routines, goals, and consistency.

SEE THE PATTERN
Use flexible calendar grids to spot streaks, gaps, and trends at a glance. Organize habits into dashboards and create a view that fits your routine.

TRACK MORE THAN CHECKMARKS
Record simple check-ins or quantities such as pages, minutes, water, distance, money, and custom units. Add a note to any entry and review your history in the Journal.

STAY CONSISTENT WITH LESS FRICTION
Set multiple reminders, check in from interactive widgets, and build Shortcuts or Siri automations for the routines you repeat every day.

UNDERSTAND YOUR PROGRESS
See current and best streaks, consistency metrics, totals, averages, and daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly charts. Compare years to understand what changed and where you are improving.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your habits and goals remain visible only to you and sync through end-to-end encrypted iCloud.

Start with one habit. Watch the pattern grow.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2026-08-01*

One of best ui i have seen in habit tracking apps it helps in keeping a track of my coding lessons but i would like
To give a feedback that make 2 widgets available in free version  one the bigger one and one the minimalist one it will really help budget conscious buyers 
Rest app is Great 
Keep doing great work!

### 4/5 — ..

*2026-06-27*

The Korean translation needs significant improvement. As it stands, it’s worse than a machine translation.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! I’d appreciate if you reach out via email (in app settings), I’d be happy to work with a native speaker to improve the translations.

### 5/5 — Great Habit Tracker

*2026-06-22*

I tried a lot of habit trackers. Others are way too expensive or overly animated and cute. This one strikes a great balance of easy function, polished interface, and a nice ripple animation. And the widgets are very well done. Highly recommended!

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 4/5 — Beautifully designed

*2026-06-09*

Updated (6/9/26)
Appreciate the updates. Keeps improving. Particularly like the new compact minimalist view. 

Few more requests:
- Time elapsed since last entry. (Relative dates)
- Photo attachments to journal entries would be a nice touch. 
- Still needs some kind of categorizing capability to filter/search in a long list or spotlight integration at least. Scrolling through a long list gets tedious when you have many things to track. 
- Reiterate the importance of an Apple Watch app to complete the experience.

Previous:
Just Needs filtering — Categories or tags (preferably) and an Apple Watch app. 

Other than that it’s quite appealing.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the detailed feedback! I’m keeping track of all feature requests, including the things you’ve mentioned. Will get to everything eventually, Apple Watch support is one of the top priorities.

### 5/5 — Really addicting

*2026-05-30*

I’m a developer so I can definitely understand the GitHub feel of keeping the streak up. Super simple and easy to use!

**Developer response:** Thank you! Glad to hear this from a fellow dev 🙌

### 5/5 — One of My Favorite Apps!

*2026-05-29*

Truly one of the most useful apps for me. I use it every single day. Reminds me of the good old days of Apps when they were useful first and foremost and not overloaded with bloat.

Edit - so happy to have compact boards now! One of the best apps keeps getting better and more useful!

**Developer response:** Thank you! A more compact layout is on my list.

### 5/5 — Actually goated

*2026-05-28*

This is by far the best habit tracking app I’ve tried. Simple, clean, customizable, and you’re able to track easily from your Home Screen with the widgets. 11/10

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 5/5 — Супер, но пока карандашом…
