After setting tangible daily or weekly goals, Do Habits will help you track your habits and tell you when you've met your goal.

About

Reason

Features
Read full description

Reason is a habit tracker built on one simple idea: habits stick when you remember why they matter. Most trackers give you streaks and checkboxes. Reason ties every habit to the reason behind it — and to the bigger goal it's moving you toward — so on the hard days, your "why" is right there in front of you. BUILT ON HABIT STACKING Anchor each habit to something you already do ("after my morning coffee"), or chain habits together so one naturally cues the next. GOALS THAT GIVE HABITS MEANING Group habits under a central goal — with a target date or open-ended. Habits can outlive the goals that started them, so the good routines keep going. YOUR REASON, EVERYWHERE • See each habit's reason as you check it off • Reminders that carry your reason, not just a nudge • A "Your Why" widget puts your reason on your Home or Lock Screen INSIGHTS THAT ACTUALLY HELP Week, month, year and all-time reports — completion rates, current streaks, a clean chart, and a per-habit breakdown so you can see what's working. FLEXIBLE TRACKING Daily, specific weekdays, or a number of times per week. Track a simple yes/no, or a count like minutes, pages or glasses. WIDGETS Home and Lock Screen widgets for today's progress, your next habit, and your reason. Anything private can be hidden from widgets with a single tap. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your data lives on your device. No accounts, no tracking, nothing sold. Start with everything free for 14 days. Then keep going for £1.49/month or £14.99/year. --- Reason Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Your Apple Account is charged at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in your Settings. A free trial's unused portion is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
