iHabits turns the things you keep meaning to do into a routine you actually keep. One screen shows today: your habits as rings, the week above them, and what's left to do at the top. Tap a habit to check it off, and the streak counts itself. No setup ritual, no account required. WHAT YOU GET • Today at a glance — habits still to do and habits checked off, each with its streak and reminder time, under a week strip whose rings fill in as your days close. • Several times a day — "8 glasses of water" or "2 lessons" splits the ring into segments, and every check-off fills one. • Any schedule — every day, chosen weekdays or days of the month, with start and end dates. Changing a schedule never rewrites the days behind you. • Streaks that mean something — current streak, best streak and total check-offs for every habit, with a month calendar that fills in as you go. • Streak Freeze — missed a day for a good reason? Freeze it and the streak carries on. Two freezes a month for each habit, with iHabits Plus. • Progress for the week, the month and the year — how much got done on schedule, perfect days, your best streak, and a year-long heatmap for every habit. • Productivity rating — one number for how your habits are going, right on the home screen. • Reminders — a nudge at the time you choose, so a habit doesn't slip your mind. • Notes on any day — record why a day went well or badly, and read it back months later. • Make it yours — an icon and one of twelve colors for every habit, or start from ready-made habits like hydration, reading or meditation. • Home Screen widgets — your habits and their streaks without opening the app. • Archive instead of delete — put a habit away and keep its history. • iCloud sync — your habits follow you to your other devices. • In your language — the whole app is translated into more than 30 languages, and you can switch it right in Settings. FREE AND PLUS iHabits is free to start. iHabits Plus unlocks unlimited habits and adds Streak Freeze, several reminders a day in your own words, and five more app icons. Choose a monthly subscription or pay once for lifetime access. It is a one-person project; Plus is what keeps it going. Start with one habit tomorrow morning. The streak takes care of the motivation.
