Flamekeep is a beautiful habit tracker that keeps your daily streaks burning — with a grace period that treats you like a human being. KEEP THE FLAME ALIVE Every habit you build gets a streak counter. Miss a day? Flamekeep gives you a one-day grace period before resetting — because life happens, and one bad day shouldn't erase a month of hard work. THREE WAYS TO TRACK • Yes / No — classic daily check-off for habits like "meditate" or "no soda" • Count — track reps, glasses of water, pages read, with a daily target • Duration — track minutes spent exercising, studying, or reading CUSTOMIZE EVERY HABIT • Name, icon from 80 hand-picked SF Symbols, and a unique color • Set a daily reminder time per habit • Quick-tap completions, swipe to log, swipe to edit or delete SEE YOUR PROGRESS • Tap any habit for a full calendar heatmap of its completion history • Per-habit stats: current streak, best streak, total completions • Overall stats: longest streak, total completions, 30-day completion rate • A daily completion-rate chart for the last 30 days DESIGNED FOR SIMPLICITY • Minimal interface — habits list front and center, nothing in the way • Appearance adapts to light mode, dark mode, or your system preference • Configurable start of week (Sunday or Monday) • No accounts, no cloud sync, no subscription PRIVATE. LOCAL. PAY ONCE. Free to use, with no ads and no subscription — ever. FlameKeep Pro is a single one-time unlock that adds interactive Home Screen widgets (check off habits without opening the app), milestone celebrations at 7, 30, 66 and 100 days and every personal best, a per-habit identity line, habit groups (fold habits into groups like Fitness or Mindfulness, each showing today's progress), and full data export (CSV + JSON). Everything you have today stays free.
