Haru Danim — a visit to your day A habit and time tracker: log time and counts with a single tap, and shape your day with goals and quests. ā–  How it works • Create an "action" and tap once — time tracking (start/stop toggle) or count logging (+1), recorded instantly • Track several actions at the same time; while tracking, see it live in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen • Organize actions with color-coded tags, find any action by name, and automatically ignore accidental short sessions and double-tapped counts ā–  Goals & quests • Under a big "goal", create actionable "quests" — daily, weekly, monthly, or a custom period • Fine-grained rules: every day / specific weekdays or dates / reach-at-least or stay-under / count only until a daily deadline • Daily, weekly and monthly progress plus streaks and your best streak so far; goals are judged automatically when their end date passes • Set your own achievement threshold from 10–100% ā–  History & stats • A daily list and a 24-hour timetable (day/week) show your records at a glance — simultaneous sessions sit side by side, and Apple Health water intake appears as dots at the time you drank • Charts by tag and by action (daily/weekly/monthly) with totals and averages • When charts feel empty early in a week or month, switch to a rolling last-7/30-days view • Export exactly what you see as a high-resolution image report • Back up all data to CSV files (free plan included) — Premium adds CSV import to restore records • Clear out long-accumulated records with Data Cleanup & Reset — with a CSV backup and a keepsake summary report before anything is deleted • See today's Apple Health data (steps, exercise, sleep and more) as tiles on the Home tab, and workout time by type in the Stats tab — values never leave your device ā–  Go further with Premium • Unlimited actions, goals and quests • Home Screen & Lock Screen widgets — run and stop right from the widget, progress rings and charts • Really Big Widget — design a full-page widget block by block — actions, goals, a calendar (events + records), a 24-hour day grid, photos and more; date and text blocks come with fonts like serif and handwriting (iPhone on iOS 27 and later, iPad in landscape; building presets is free) • Launch from Control Center and the Action button • Apple Watch app and complications — track from your wrist, with an Action Log complication showing totals on your watch face • Siri Shortcuts — "Hey Siri, start tracking Reading in Haru Danim" • iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad and Mac • Diary on iPhone, iPad and Mac — a daily summary page plus free-form notes (Apple Pencil on iPad, finger drawing on iPhone, mouse and keyboard on Mac), with your own PDF page templates.
