About

Dotstreak

Features
Read full description

Dotstreak is a habit tracker with one idea behind it: show up today, keep the dot grid alive. Add the habits you want to do daily. Tap the circle each day you do one. Every completed day fills a dot in a 15-week grid, so months of effort fit on one screen and you can see at a glance where you have been consistent and where you slipped. WHAT'S IN IT • Unlimited habits, each with its own icon and colour • One-tap check-off with a light haptic tap • Current streak and best streak for every habit • An 15-week dot grid — tap any past day to fix a missed check-off • Totals for all time and for the current month • Optional daily reminder per habit, at a time you pick • Today's progress at the top of the list WHAT'S NOT IN IT • No account and no sign-up • No ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases • No analytics and no tracking • No internet connection required — the app has no network access at all Your habits are stored only on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded, because there is nowhere for it to go. Start with one habit. Ten pages, one glass of water, five minutes of stretching. The dots do the rest.
