Mnmlist is a habit tracker with very little in it. Add the habits you care about and tap each one on the days you do it. Today has a card for each habit with your current streak and this week. Open a habit to see its month, how this month compares with the last one, and which days of the week you do it most. The Calendar tab shows the whole year, for one habit or for all of them. Home Screen widgets show one habit or all of them: this week, a month, three months, the whole year, or today's habits in a ring. You can mark a habit done from a widget, from Control Center, the Lock Screen or the Action button, or by asking Siri. On Apple Watch, turn the Digital Crown to go through your habits and tap to mark one done. On iPad, and on iPhone Duo when it's open, your habits and the one you're looking at sit side by side. Habits sync between your devices through iCloud, and you can export them as a CSV file from Settings. Mnmlist works with VoiceOver and larger text sizes, in light and dark mode, and in 22 languages. It's free. There are no ads, subscriptions or in-app purchases, no analytics and no tracking. Inspired by Leo Babauta's mnmlist.com. If something's missing or broken, Settings › Send Feedback reaches me.
