Features
Read full description

Keep your good habits On Repeat. On Repeat is a bold, hip-hop-flavored habit tracker that turns your daily goals into a rotation you actually want to run back. Add your "tracks," hit your goals, and watch your streaks climb — with a satisfying record scratch every time you lock one in. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Add tracks with a clean icon, color, and a daily goal (simple check-off or counted, like "5 glasses of water") • Build streaks and see your all-time best • Log any day from the date strip — never lose a streak to a busy morning • Organize by time of day: Morning, Afternoon, Evening, or All Day • Drag to reorder, tap to edit, long-press to move • Daily reminders per track, plus a daily check-in nudge • Track Stats: streaks, best runs, and a multi-week completion chart • Light and dark themes that follow your phone or your choice • A record-scratch sound effect when you complete a track (toggle it off anytime) BUILT FOR CONSISTENCY No accounts. No sign-ups. No cloud. Everything lives on your device — your habits are yours. No skips. Run it back.
