Beeminder vs A Little Less

Add data to your Beeminder goals, get reminders, and see a dashboard of your progress on the Beeminder Data Entry Companion App. Beeminder is goal-tracking with teeth. We plot your progress along with a bright red line on your graph. Don't let your datapoints cross the red line! The Beeminder app also allows you to sync goals with your Apple Health data, so you can automatically track steps, distance, and other metrics without manually entering data.

Not quit. Just less. A Little Less is a harm-reduction tracker for containing habits and urges—not quitting cold turkey overnight. Shape the behavior at your pace, log honestly, and focus on one challenge at a time. WHY A LITTLE LESS Most apps push all-or-nothing streaks. We built something gentler: a slow ramp you can actually live with. Slips are data, not failure. The goal is less over time—not perfection on day one. HOW IT WORKS • Pick what you want to contain — scrolling, phone checking, smoking, snacking, drinking, gaming, and more, or name your own. • Choose how to shape it: — Shorten: a little less each day (time or count). — Delay: wait a bit longer when the urge hits. • Set a ramp over 21, 40, 60, or 90 days — your allowance moves slowly toward a target you define. • Check in daily: within limit, over, or skipped. Your home cycle grid shows the truth without shame. • Optional reminders — gentle, direct, or quiet — so you don’t forget to log. FEATURES • One urge at a time when you start; add more when you’re ready • Honest daily check-ins with a visual cycle grid • Custom cycle colors per urge • Light and dark appearance • Data stays on your device A Little Less is a self-tracking tool, not medical advice. If you’re struggling with addiction or mental health, please talk to a qualified professional. Made for people who want progress without the guilt trip.
