Motivation gets you started. Habigrow helps you keep going. Most people give up on a new habit after a few days, once the first rush of motivation fades. Habigrow keeps your habits in sight: your day streak sits on your Home Screen, so you see it every time you unlock your phone. Reminders arrive at the time you pick, and if a busy day gets in the way, you can still finish yesterday or restore a broken streak and carry on. Habigrow is an ADHD-friendly habit tracker with a Home Screen widget, habit reminders, forgiving streaks, a mood journal and a sleep log in one place, plus insights that show what helps you stay consistent. YOUR STREAK, EVERY TIME YOU UNLOCK A habit tracker only works if you remember it. The widget keeps it on your Home Screen. • Day streak widget: your streak and this month at a glance, in small, medium and large sizes, plus Lock Screen widgets. • It updates by itself and shows when yesterday still needs a tick or how many hours are left today. • Habit widgets (Premium, iOS 17+): see one habit's streak and check it off right from your Home Screen. REMINDERS ON TIME, NOT ALL THE TIME • Set reminders for each habit at the times that suit your day. • One nudge when it matters, not a stream of notifications. A BUSY DAY DOESN'T RESET YOU Most habit trackers send you back to zero after one missed day. Habigrow doesn't. • Your day streak counts any day you finish at least half your habits. • Missed yesterday? Tick it off this morning and the day still counts. • Broke a long streak? Restore it and keep going. • Every habit keeps its own streak, so one slip never wipes out the rest. HABITS, MOOD AND SLEEP IN ONE PLACE • Log your mood in seconds with emotions, energy, stress and a note. • Record bedtime and wake-up time every day. • See habits, mood and sleep together in the calendar and heatmap. SEE YOUR DISCIPLINE GROW • A discipline score built from your completion rate, active days and perfect days. • Completed, pending and missed habits, compared with the week before. • Month calendars for mood and sleep, with your hours slept every night. • Premium shows how your sleep and habits connect to how you feel. GOALS THAT FIT HOW YOUR BRAIN WORKS • Timer habits: start a focus session for reading, study, meditation or deep work, even a short one (Premium). • Count habits: 8 glasses of water, 10 push-ups, 20 pages. • Yes or no habits: make your bed, take vitamins, phone down by 11 pm. • Checklist habits: the steps of a morning or bedtime routine (Premium). START SMALL Not sure where to begin? Pick what feels hardest, like putting off work or scrolling in bed, and Habigrow suggests one small habit for it. You finish setup with your own 30-day plan: 30 check-ins for each habit, plus your sleep target. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your habits, moods and sleep logs are stored on your phone, and an account is optional. With Premium, back up to your own Google Drive and restore everything on a new phone. FREE AND PREMIUM Free, with ads: • Up to 3 habits (yes or no, and count) • Day streak widget and habit reminders • Forgiving day streak and a streak for every habit • Mood journal and sleep log • Calendar, heatmap and an insights overview Premium: • Unlimited habits • Timer and checklist habits • Habit widgets • Full mood, sleep and habit insights • Google Drive backup and restore • No ads WHO IT'S FOR People who start strong and lose steam after a few days, adults with ADHD and other neurodivergent people, students and workers who procrastinate, anyone rebuilding a daily routine after burnout, and anyone who quit a habit tracker because one missed day felt like starting over. Habigrow is a self-care app, not a medical tool or a replacement for professional help. Available in 9 languages. Start with one tiny habit today.

Evolve makes the time you spend on your phone something you decide on, rather than something that happens to you. Pick the apps that pull you in. Evolve blocks them. When you want one, you hold a button, and one unbroken hold earns you one minute. The second minute costs more than the first, and the third costs more than that. A quick check stays cheap. An hour never sneaks up on you. There is no way to talk your way past it, because there is nothing to talk to. No streaks, no points, no badges. Just a price, paid in the moment, in full view. WHAT YOU SEE Where your day actually went, hour by hour, and which apps took it. A block screen that names the app you reached for and counts how many times you have reached for it today. Your real screen time, drawn by Apple on your device. PRIVACY Evolve collects nothing. There is no account and no server. The apps you block, the time you hold, and how you spend your day never leave your phone. Evolve is built for people who already want to change, and it does not pretend to be unbeatable. If you are determined to get around it, you will. It is here for the moments when you are not. Every minute should feel earned.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Evolve at none against Habigrow's shown. Evolve also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 weeks). Habigrow's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
