One habit. Sixty-six days. Made automatic. Automatic is a habit app built on the science of how habits actually form: one tiny daily action, anchored to something you already do, grown over a 66-day arc until it runs on its own. Sunny — the little sun who lives inside the app — plans it with you, reads you the best books ever written on getting better, and notices when a hard day is coming. TELL HALO YOUR GOAL, IN YOUR OWN WORDS Type what you want to do, with your real numbers and where you're starting. Sunny builds a plan that keeps your exact figures, attaches it to one of your real daily anchors, and maps all 66 days — smaller than the goal at first, bigger than it by day 60. Adjust with a comment; Sunny changes only what you asked. TODAY, MADE OBVIOUS Every morning: today's version of your habit, one line of journaling, a short lesson, and a tiny foundation nudge for body and mind. Check it off and watch the day count climb. If your habit has pieces, tick them one at a time — a partial day still counts, and the app says so. GROW — 201 BOOKS, DISTILLED Atomic Habits, Deep Work, Can't Hurt Me, Why We Sleep, The Body Keeps the Score, Nonviolent Communication, The Psychology of Money, Sapiens, Do What Matters, and nearly two hundred more — habits, focus, mindset, discipline, fitness, food, money, relationships, creativity and calm. More than 1,700 lessons, each with its own drawn cover, an animated graphic, and a quote you can keep. One lesson a day is free; Essentials and Gold open the whole shelf. Every lesson is an original summary written in our own words, and quotes are paraphrased and marked "after" their author. Automatic is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the authors or publishers. Read them, or let Sunny read them to you in a natural studio voice — one book a day free, more on Essentials and Gold — on the lock screen, in the car, with the screen off. A quiet bell tells you when there is a quick question about what you just heard, and the book keeps playing either way. Search everything in plain language: "that quote about 1% better" finds it. A JOURNAL THAT KNOWS WHAT TODAY IS The prompt is built from your day, your habit, your cue, and the lesson on deck. Everything you write feeds Sunny's insights later. EARNED INSIGHTS Sunny's honest portrait of you at day 7. Your arc review at day 21. A letter at the halfway mark. Earned by showing up, and part of Gold. SUNNY, YOUR COACH Ask Sunny anything. He says good morning, cheers the wins, nudges you on the days you slip and hands you today's book — or turn him off. Choose who reads your books to you — a warm British storyteller or a soft American voice — hear each before you pick, and switch any time. Hard-day radar watches your weak window and shows up before you slip. TIMERS AND TROPHIES Timed steps and focus sessions count down on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with an alarm when they end. Points and trophies are earned by showing up, never bought, and unlock profile styles. APPLE WATCH Check off from your wrist. WIDGETS Your streak — flame, count, and the last seven days — on your Home Screen. Your book and today's mission on the Lock Screen. A new quote every day. SOCIAL — COMING SOON The Social tab is a preview of what we're building next. It isn't open yet — tap "Notify me" and we'll tell you when it is. PLANS Start with a week of Gold, on us. Then keep it free (with ads), or choose Essentials or Gold. Free covers your first 66-day arc; a monthly plan covers three, and a yearly plan has no limit. Subscriptions renew through your Apple ID; cancel anytime in Settings. Terms: https://link.ordaforma.com/terms · Privacy: https://link.ordaforma.com/privacy
