unlockHabit is a fast, offline-first habit tracker that helps you build good habits, break bad ones, and keep your daily streak going — free, with no account, no ads, and no subscription. Track your habits, check in every day, and watch your progress build over weeks and months. Your Momentum Score turns all of it into a single number from 0 to 100 that moves every day, so you always know whether you're building or slipping — not just which boxes you ticked. YOUR MOMENTUM SCORE One number, updated daily, built from four things: how consistent you've been over 30 days, how strong your last week was, your best current streak, and how many of your habits you're actually keeping up. Tap it any time to see exactly how it was calculated — nothing is hidden. Share it as a card when you're proud of it. ACHIEVEMENTS 34 badges across six ladders: streaks, total check-ins, perfect weeks, momentum, repairs, and how many habits you're keeping going at once. They're calculated from what you've already logged rather than stored, so restoring a backup brings your badges back with it. WHY UNLOCKHABIT • Free — unlimited habits, daily check-ins, streaks, insights and reminders, with no subscription • Offline-first — works with no internet; your data lives on your device • Private — no account, no sign-up, no tracking, no ads • Fast & minimal — no clutter, no nonsense, just your habits FEATURES • Daily check-ins with a single tap • Momentum Score with a full breakdown of how it's calculated • Achievements — 34 badges earned automatically as your consistency builds • Shareable Momentum cards • Tracking paths — measure each habit the way that habit actually works • Streak tracking, streak freezes, and planned skip days • Year heatmap to visualize every day at a glance • Insights for week, month, and year with completion rates • Daily reminders so you never miss a check-in • Ready-made starter programs: Morning Warrior, Mindfulness Journey, Fitness Foundation • Custom habits with icons, colors, categories, and per-day goals • Multiple dashboard views: grid, compact, and list • Archive, restore, reorder, clone, and permanently delete habits — with undo • Light, dark, and system themes • Choose your week start day • Import & export your data as JSON — you own your data • Available in 12 languages TRACKING PATHS Not every habit should be measured the same way, so each one can follow its own principle. Beginner's mind (shoshin) is free: a brand-new habit gets 21 days with no streak, no percentage and no score — just a record that you showed up, so a first week can't feel like failure. Three more paths come with Pro: • Golden repair (kintsugi) — mend a missed day instead of hiding it. The repair stays visible in gold and your streak continues, because the mend is something you did. • Eighty percent (hara hachi bu) — complete at 80%, not 100%. Five days out of seven finishes the week. • Rising bar (kaizen) — start small and let the goal climb on its own, in steps too small to resist. Past days are always judged by the goal that applied then, so getting stronger never turns your history into failures. UNLOCKHABIT PRO — OPTIONAL, ONE TIME Everything above is free and stays free. If you want more, a single one-time purchase — not a subscription — unlocks the three Pro tracking paths, your full Momentum history over 30, 90 and 365 days, five extra colour theme packs with matching light and dark modes, two extra share card designs, and every feature added to Pro later. PERFECT FOR Building a morning routine, drinking more water, working out, meditation, reading, journaling, studying, quitting bad habits, and any daily or weekly goal you want to stay consistent with. Download unlockHabit and start your first streak today.
