My Daily Habits is a simple app for keeping track of and checking off your daily habits. You can add as many habits as you want and also an Emoji. You can select if you want that habit to be in the morning, afternoon, evening, or just any time during the day. Every day your habits reset. There is a progress bar so you can see your overall progress during the day. This app also allows you to list and keep track of your bad habits as a occasional reminder of the things you are trying to avoid or improve. You can re-order your habits and edit them over time. Everything is stored in iCloud so it is totally private and nobody but you will have access to your data. Additionally the app even works when you don't have an internet connection!
