Build streaks for what you want to do — and break streaks on what you don't. **THE PROBLEM** Most habit apps only track good habits. But the things you want to stop — scrolling, snacking, sugar — deserve just as much attention. And a plain checkmark doesn't tell you how close you are to breaking today's streak. **HOW IT WORKS** StreaksTimer tracks do's and don'ts side by side. Each habit shows your current streak, a month-by-month calendar of your history, and a live progress bar for any time-bound challenge — "Morning run 7–8 AM" or "No snacks until midnight." **WHY IT'S DIFFERENT** The calendar makes your patterns visible at a glance. The live timer with a colorful progress bar keeps today's challenge in front of you. Everything syncs through your personal iCloud — no accounts, no ads, no tracking. Start today. See tomorrow.
