Track nicotine, alcohol, caffeine, and screen time in one app. Notch shows your habits as a Robinhood-style chart — set a baseline, pick a goal, and watch the line bend down. No streaks that punish you for a slip. No forced language of addiction. Just data. Pick one habit for free or track all four in Notch+. Log every entry in one tap or by voice with Siri. See how far below your starting point you've dropped, in real time. WHAT YOU CAN TRACK • Nicotine — pouches by mg • Alcohol — standard drinks per day and per week • Caffeine — coffee, espresso, energy drinks, tea, soda • Screen time — auto-tracked from iOS, no manual entry needed WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Robinhood-style chart, color-coded to your goal line • Rank ladder from Hooked to Clean — where do you sit today? • Portfolio view — all your habits on one normalized chart • Backfill past logs on a calendar when you forget • Friends leaderboard — 6-character code, no login required • Voice logging: "Hey Siri, log a beer in Notch" • Home screen widget — one tap to log NOTCH+ (OPTIONAL) Free forever if you track one habit. Notch+ unlocks: • All four habits simultaneously • Portfolio cross-view • 7-day free trial, then $4.99/month or $29.99/year WHY THE CHART, NOT THE STREAK Streaks are brittle. One bad day and the counter resets — like the last three months meant nothing. Notch shows the trend line instead. A week where you had two drinks is still a week where the line went down. Progress isn't binary. PRIVACY Everything lives on your device. iCloud sync is optional. Friends see only what you choose to share. No ads. Ever.
