Whether you're building a morning routine, tracking water intake, or managing ADHD — Habit Hub keeps you focused, motivated, and on track. SMART COLOR-CODED TIMELINE Your habits line up by time of day — red when needs attention, yellow when upcoming, green when done. One glance tells you exactly what to do next. No overthinking.

No other app lets you combine all three. STREAKS & TRACK RECORD Never break your streak. See your performance by week or month with a color-coded calendar. Tap any past day to update your history. Share your progress with friends. ONE-TIME TO-DOS Not everything repeats. Add quick to-dos alongside your habits — reschedule, skip, or knock them out today. One app for everything. FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING Daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, specific days — set any frequency. Multiple times a day (like "drink water 8x"). Goal-based tracking (like "sleep 8 hours"). Your schedule, your rules. HOME & LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS See your habits at a glance without opening the app. Multiple widget sizes for your home screen and lock screen. AUTOMATIC ICLOUD SYNC Your data syncs seamlessly across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Never lose your progress.
