Every habit you keep becomes a card. Habit Deck is a habit tracker built like a collector's card room. Print a card for each thing you're trying to do, and play it on the days you do it. The card keeps the whole record: your current run, your best one ever, every play. ONE CARD AT A TIME No dashboards, no checklists. The whole app is one room you slide along. Swipe right to play today's card, swipe left to set it aside, tap to turn it over and read its record. RARITY FOLLOWS YOUR BEST STREAK A long streak makes the card rarer: Uncommon at 7 days, Rare at 18, Legendary at 66. An unbroken 254-day run earns Honor. Rarity never goes down. A missed day only restarts the current run, and nothing is ever taken away. NEVER PUNISHED No guilt, no lost progress. Pause a card and it freezes safely until you return. Retire a card and it rests in the binder with its full history. YOUR CARDS STAY YOURS Offline first, stored on your device. Habit Deck syncs across iPhone and iPad through your own iCloud, with an open table of as many cards and decks as you like, and every year of your history. Tiers are earned at the table, never sold. Habit Deck is a monthly auto-renewing subscription with a 7-day free trial, or a single lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew until canceled in your Apple Account settings.
