Every time you complete a habit, you get to drop a marble into your jar. Watch it bounce, hear the satisfying "clink," and feel the haptic tap as your jar fills up over time. Why Marbles? Checkboxes are boring. Physics are fun. Marbles capitalizes on the "satisfaction" loop to make building habits addictive in the best way possible. Whether you are drinking more water, hitting the gym, or reading daily, seeing your physical progress accumulate in a jar gives you a sense of accomplishment that a spreadsheet never could. Key Features: The Marble Jar Experience high-fidelity physics. Marbles tumble, stack, and collide with realistic sound effects and haptics. Pixel Reveal Themes (Pro) Prefer retro gaming? Switch your habit to "Pixel Mode." Every day you complete a task, you light up a new pixel on a grid, slowly revealing a mystery retro artwork. Forgiving Streaks Life happens. If you need a break, use the "Skip" feature. You'll drop a "Ghost Marble" that keeps your jar filling up without breaking your hard-earned streak. History & Editing View your full history, track your best streaks, and easily undo accidental drops. Private & Native Built with the latest Apple technologies. Your data stays on your device.
