About

Etch

Etch is a quiet habit tracker. One tap marks the day. Over time, the marks become your rhythm. CHECK IN WITH ONE TAP Every habit is a circle. Tap it and it turns white. Missed a day? Step back and fill it in. SEE YOUR RHYTHM The Log shows the last 7 days or the last 26 weeks as a grid of dots, so streaks and gaps are easy to spot. Open any habit for its streak, best run, total, and a month-by-month calendar. SET YOUR OWN PACE Pick the weekdays each habit is due. Days off show as gray dots and never break a streak, and checking in on a rest day still counts. FITS YOUR DAY Up late? Set your day to end as late as 5 a.m., so a check-in after midnight still counts for the day before. WIDGETS Check in straight from your Home Screen, and see recent days at a glance, in three sizes. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no ads, no tracking • Your habits sync through your own private iCloud • The developer never sees your data Free and open source: github.com/nvlznn/etch
