KeepUp tracks your habits on a year-at-a-glance heatmap — one tap to check off, and a full year of progress is right there to see. A calm way to build habits — without streak guilt, badge chasing, or a wall of daily notifications. Miss a day? You just start again — no lecture, no reset shame. Link a habit to Apple Health and it checks itself off — free for everyone, no account needed. WHY KEEPUP Consistency you can see A full year of activity, mapped day by day. Six habits or one, the heatmap makes invisible progress visible — at a glance, every morning. Streaks, without the guilt trip Missing a day doesn't erase your history or reset a countdown designed to punish you. KeepUp shows your best streak next to your current one, and moves on. It can complete itself Link a habit to Apple Health — steps, exercise, mindful minutes, active energy, or sleep — and KeepUp checks it off for you when you hit the goal. This works for every user, free, always; it's Apple's own capability, not something we charge for. Fix your history Forgot to log a run three days ago? Tap that date on the calendar and mark it — free for everyone. Your streak recalculates instantly. Share your progress Turn your own record into a card: your first days, your first week, a streak, your month. Post it as a square or a story.

Finally, a habit tracker that measures REAL progress, not just checkboxes. Track minutes of meditation. Count pages read. Log steps walked. Measure liters of water. HabitMeter turns your habits into visible, measurable achievements. WHY HABITMETER Unlike other habit apps that only track "done" or "not done," HabitMeter shows your actual progress. See exactly how close you are to your daily goal with beautiful progress rings and detailed statistics. GYM AND STRENGTH TRAINING Log sets and reps with the weight you lifted.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your habits live on your device and in your own iCloud, so a new phone starts where the old one stopped. No account with us, ever, and we cannot read any of it. Only three things reach a server of ours: a habit's name, to propose its setup; an activity's name, for an energy estimate; your weekly totals, if you ask for a weekly review. Never your entries, never your weight. Nothing reaches anybody else unless you send it: share a habit's setup as a link, or let chosen people follow one habit's progress, and stop it again whenever you like. You can switch HabitMeter off in the system settings under iCloud. No tracking, no ads, no analytics. ENERGY BURNED (PREMIUM) HabitMeter estimates what a session cost, from the activity, how long it took and your body weight. Optionally it writes that estimate to the Health app as active energy. Your weight stays on this device, never in iCloud and never with us, and is only used for the calculation. YOUR WEEK, READ Every week HabitMeter sums up what went up and what slipped, and proposes new goals that fit the training you actually did. Nothing changes until you accept it. Your weekly totals are sent to our server for that, never your entries and never your weight. FREE VS PREMIUM FREE: Unlimited habits, groups, second values like weight in kilos or pounds, flexible goals, widgets, health data sync, 36 badges, sharing a habit's live progress, the group session chart for the last 7 days. PREMIUM: The weekly review with goal adjustment, energy burned per session, advanced statistics, your full history year by year, personal records, progress suggestions, premium badges, extra chart styles, and the group session chart across a full 30 days. Premium is available as a subscription, monthly or yearly, or as a one-time purchase. The yearly plan starts with a free month. --- Privacy Policy & Terms of Use: https://merzkevin.de/privacy-HabitMeter.html
