Rytmo Habit Tracker

Features
Read full description

Rytmo helps you build good habits – without stress, without clutter. Check off what you did today, watch your streaks grow, and let Rytmo notice the patterns in your routine. Many habits even check themselves off. HABITS THAT CHECK THEMSELVES OFF • Apple Health: steps, distance, calories and exercise minutes complete your habit automatically – and the widget fills up as you go • Screen Time: 10 minutes in your language or learning app counts as done • QuickMath: finish your daily math goal and the habit ticks itself off • Calls: call Mum straight from Rytmo – it counts once you've talked a minute HABITS FIRST, SCROLLING LATER Lock distracting apps like Instagram or TikTok until your habits are done. They open again by themselves once you're finished. Need a moment? Take a 5-minute break or unlock for the day. Uses Apple's Screen Time – Rytmo never sees what you do in other apps. ANY RHYTHM YOU LIKE • Every day, on chosen weekdays, or every few days • Once a week or once a month – any day you like • Count up to a goal, like 8 glasses of water • Built-in timers for quick habits like a 1-minute plank • Streak freezes cover the odd missed day, and you can pause habits while you're on holiday YOUR DAY AT A GLANCE Widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen suggest what's next and let you check habits off without opening the app. Siri and Shortcuts work too: "Complete Drink Water in Rytmo". SEE WHAT KEEPS YOU GOING • Success rate for the day, week, month and year • Insights from your own data: which habits go together, new records in reach, what's on the rise • Calendar for every habit, time-of-day heatmap and trends START IN SECONDS Pick your first habits in the welcome tour or choose from ready-made ideas with timers and automations – or create your own in a few taps. MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD On iPad, Rytmo shows what's left and what's done side by side, with statistics in two columns. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your habits are stored in your own iCloud and sync across your devices. No account, no ads, no tracking. Rytmo is free to start. Plus, Premium and Ultimate unlock more habits, more reminders, more app locks, advanced statistics and more.
