Building new habits and accomplishing your goals is hard. Doing it on your own is even harder. So, why not do it with friends that keep you accountable and motivated? With Habitat, you can track your goals & habits in groups with your friends. Here's how Habitat works: Create a habit/goal group (we call them habitats) for each of the habits you want to track and invite your friends! Or, join the habitats your friends create and invite you to. Inside a habitat, you can see everyone's progress towards their own goals and their current individual streak. As a group, you also have a group streak which can only go up if everyone's completing their goals. HABITAT PREMIUM Habitat offers an optional, auto-renewing monthly subscription for $2.99/month. The payment will be charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period. Your subscription to Habitat will automatically renew unless you disable auto-renew at least 24 hours before the current period ends. You can turn off auto-renew or manage your subscription from your iTunes Store account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a Habitat Premium subscription.
