Looped is a habit tracker that doesn't nag. Most habit apps turn your life into a scoreboard. There's a streak you're afraid to break, a badge you never asked for, and a red mark waiting every time the day gets away from you. Looped leaves all that out. You get a clean grid of your habits, one tap to check something off, and a calendar that shows months of progress on a single screen. Miss a day and nothing happens. Go back and fill it in later, or don't. It's your calendar. WHAT'S INSIDE • A calendar view that makes your patterns obvious at a glance • Three home layouts, from a detailed grid to something almost bare • Widgets for the Home Screen and Today View, so most days you never open the app • A heat map widget that shows weeks of activity in color • Focus sessions that sit on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Your own emoji, color and notes on every habit FREE • Up to 3 habits • The full calendar and your complete history • All three widgets, in every size LOOPED PRO • Unlimited habits • Sub-habits, so "Morning routine" can hold each step inside it • Reminders you write yourself, at times you pick • Five alternative app icons • Archive habits instead of deleting them • Everything we ship from here on Pro comes with a 7-day free trial and you can cancel any time.
