unlockHabit is a simple, fast, offline-first habit tracker that helps you build good habits, break bad ones, and keep your daily streak going — without accounts, ads, or subscriptions. Track your habits, check in every day, and watch your progress build over weeks and months. Your Momentum Score turns all of it into a single number from 0 to 100 that moves every day, so you always know whether you're building or slipping — not just which boxes you ticked. YOUR MOMENTUM SCORE One number, updated daily, built from four things: how consistent you've been over 30 days, how strong your last week was, your best current streak, and how many of your habits you're actually keeping up. Tap it any time to see exactly how it was calculated — nothing is hidden. Share it as a card when you're proud of it. A HABIT TRACKER FOR MORE THAN ONE PERSON Most habit trackers assume one phone means one person. unlockHabit doesn't. Track a partner, your kids, or whoever shares the device — each person gets their own habits, streaks and Momentum Score, and reminders fire for everyone whether or not their profile is the one on screen. Switching between people takes one tap. Everything stays on the device; people never sync to anyone else's phone. WHY UNLOCKHABIT • Free — unlimited habits, all core tracking included, no subscription • Offline-first — works with no internet; your data lives on your device • Private — no account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking unless you opt in • Fast & minimal — no clutter, no nonsense, just your habits FEATURES • Tracking paths — measure each habit the way that habit actually works • Momentum Score with a full breakdown of how it's calculated • Shareable Momentum cards • Daily check-ins with a single tap • Streak tracking, streak freezes, and planned skip days • Year heatmap to visualize every day at a glance • Insights for week, month, and year with completion rates • Daily reminders so you never miss a check-in • Ready-made starter programs: Morning Warrior, Mindfulness Journey, Fitness Foundation • Custom habits with icons, colors, categories, and per-day goals • Multiple dashboard views: grid, compact, and list • Archive, restore, reorder, and clone habits • Light, dark, and system themes • Choose your week start day • Import & export your data as JSON — you own your data • Available in 12 languages TRACKING PATHS — PRO Not every habit should be measured the same way, so Pro lets each one follow its own principle: • Golden repair (kintsugi) — mend a missed day instead of hiding it. The repair stays visible in gold and your streak continues, because the mend is something you did. • Eighty percent (hara hachi bu) — complete at 80%, not 100%. Five days out of seven finishes the week. • Rising bar (kaizen) — start small and let the goal climb on its own, in steps too small to resist. Past days are always judged by the goal that applied then, so getting stronger never turns your history into failures. Beginner's mind (shoshin) is free: a brand-new habit gets 21 days with no streak, no percentage and no score — just a record that you showed up. UNLOCKHABIT PRO — OPTIONAL, ONE TIME Everything above is free and stays free. If you want more, a single one-time purchase (not a subscription) unlocks home screen widgets you can check habits off from, automatic daily backups, streak repair and the other tracking paths, up to six people on one device, notes on every check-in, extra reminder times per habit, four more habit programs, your full Momentum history over 30, 90 and 365 days, six colour themes and four app icons. PERFECT FOR Building a morning routine, drinking more water, working out, meditation, reading, journaling, quitting bad habits, and any daily or weekly goal you want to stay consistent with. Download unlockHabit and start your first streak today.
