There are no flashy ICONS, only a clear daily list. There is no noisy socializing here, face yourself, know yourself. It is very easy to punch in here. Plan your daily activities in advance. You just need to swipe right or gently press the habit, and your punch is finished. Shake, switch different punching styles. You can, of course, add a clock log, which will make it more intuitive when you review your schedule. When you complete more than 60 percent of your daily habits, you get a smiley face, a nice card that you can click on and write your thoughts on the back of your life, and a cute Tracker to save or share your smile with your friends.
