Habit It is the one app that runs your whole day: it gets you out of bed, blocks the apps that waste your time, tracks your habits and streaks, manages your money, plans your schedule and logs your workouts and runs. WAKE UP FOR REAL β’ Mission alarms: to turn off the alarm, you have to solve math, repeat a pattern, tap in order, type a phrase or scan a barcode across the room. β’ Pick the difficulty and how many rounds to solve. β’ Wake-up check: a few minutes after you dismiss the alarm, a quick follow-up makes sure you didn't go back to bed. β’ Eight alarm sounds, including recorded voice pep talks, plus a volume that builds up slowly, vibration and snooze limits. β’ On iOS 26 and later, alarms run on Apple's AlarmKit. BLOCK DISTRACTIONS β’ Choose apps or whole categories and give each a daily time limit. β’ When the time runs out, a shield covers the app, with no "ignore limit" button to tap. β’ Shield apps instantly whenever you need to focus. β’ To lift a shield early, you first have to finish a short mission, so it's never a reflex tap. HABITS & STREAKS β’ Count anything: glasses of water, pages, push-ups. Counts reset every day and your history is kept. β’ Monthly breakdown with a daily heatmap for each habit. β’ Streaks count the days since you quit something, like sugar, smoking or scrolling. β’ Milestones at 7, 30, 100 and 365 days, with share cards worth posting. MONEY β’ Total net worth across all your cards and accounts at a glance. β’ Log income and expenses by category and see where your money went. β’ Track by calendar month or by pay cycle, with days left, daily average and projected spend. β’ A ledger for debts and credits: who owes you, who you owe, marked paid when settled. β’ Choose your currency. β’ Log an expense with Siri without opening the app. GYM & ACTIVITY β’ 12 built-in routines: Full Body, Chest, Back, Arms, Shoulders, Legs, Abs, Upper Body, V-Taper, Glutes, Triceps and Obliques. β’ Setup, form cues and tips for every exercise. β’ Build and save your own workouts and exercises. β’ GPS tracking for runs, walks, rides and hikes: distance, pace, splits, elevation, calories and your route map. β’ Weekly goals, personal records and all-time stats. β’ Finished activities save to Apple Health.
