About

Habit & Quit Tracker

Read full description

Most habit apps run on streaks. Miss one day and the counter smashes back to zero, so your brain decides the whole thing is blown and you quit. Notch is built on the opposite idea. Notch tracks your consistency, not your streak. Hold a habit about 80% of the time and you get almost the same result as a perfect run, and it actually survives a bad day. One slip barely moves your number. Nothing ever resets to zero. THE WALL ā€šĆ„Ā¢ Every habit shows its whole month right on the home screen, as a small wall of cells. ā€šĆ„Ā¢ Each day is one tap: Held the line, or Slipped. No journaling, no streak pressure. ā€šĆ„Ā¢ Held days fill in as ink. A slip leaves a small crack, never a hole. Proof you came back, not proof you failed. ā€šĆ„Ā¢ A fresh page every month. Your consistency keeps running across it. THE NUMBER THAT MATTERS Your headline is a forgiving consistency percentage: held days āˆšāˆ‘ logged days over the last 30 days. A single slip nudges it a point or two, then it heals as you keep going. The streak is still there, as the small number, allowed to break without the run feeling lost. HONEST BY DESIGN ā€šĆ„Ā¢ Strict mode, if you want it: a day you never logged counts as slipped once it's older than yesterday. Off by default, computed, reversible. ā€šĆ„Ā¢ Your reason, in your own words, kept under the month for the days that get hard. ā€šĆ„Ā¢ A share card of any month's wall, drawn in paper and ink. BUILT TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY ā€šĆ„Ā¢ A home-screen widget shows your month, your number and your streak at a glance. ā€šĆ„Ā¢ One optional evening reminder, plus per-habit reminders if you want them. Never nagging. ā€šĆ„Ā¢ Backup and restore your whole wall as a file. Export to CSV any time. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Everything lives on your device. No account, no sign-up, no cloud, no tracking, nothing collected. Your habits are nobody's business but yours. PAPER AND INK No badges, no confetti, no dopamine slot machine. Just a calm wall, a serif headline, and the satisfaction of a month that fills in. It does one thing and refuses to do more. FREE + NOTCH PRO Notch is free with up to 3 habits: the wall, your consistency %, streaks, the year wall, Strict mode, reminders, backup, CSV export and the widget, forever. Notch Pro adds two things: no cap on habits, so you can hold every line you want to hold rather than picking three; and tap-to-log, which puts Held and Slipped buttons on the widget so a day takes one tap without opening the app. Not sure? Close the offer and the whole app opens for 7 days. No card, nothing charged. Notch Pro is available as a yearly plan, a monthly plan, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. You'll always see the full price and terms before anything is charged, and you can cancel in two taps.
