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?
