Track 5โ€“7 habits. Build streaks. Stop the overwhelm. Most habit apps let you track 30 habits from day 1 โ€” then you burn out in a week. Mushtra is built around Petr Ludwig's research: humans can only meaningfully sustain 5โ€“7 habits at a time. The free tier gives you all 7. THE SCORE BAR CHANGES EVERYTHING A dock at the bottom walks you through every unscored habit, one at a time. Swipe up/down to cycle habits. Swipe left/right to change days. Score your entire day in under 10 seconds โ€” no more tapping into each habit separately. BUILT FOR HUMANS, NOT SPREADSHEETS โ€ข Dot grid โ€” every day at a glance, with streaks โ€ข 6-month Airflow heatmap โ€” watch consistency grow โ€ข Weekly + monthly trend reports (premium) โ€ข Home-screen widget โ€” today's progress at a glance โ€ข Daily reminders, haptic feedback, light and dark mode โ€ข Positive habits ("meditate") and negative habits ("no alcohol") โ€ข Optional threshold goals ("30 min", "7:30 AM") โ€ข Configurable week start โ€” Monday or Sunday MADE FOR THE WORLD Localized in 49 languages โ€” with locale-aware week start, weekend highlighting, and real translations (not machine-translated). PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY No tracking, no ads, no third-party analytics SDKs. The privacy manifest declares exactly what we store โ€” just your habits and check-ins, on your device.
