GROW. HABIT TRACKER FOR BETTER HABITS. Most habit trackers reward you with streaks, then make you feel like you've failed the moment you miss a day. Grow doesn't. There are no streaks to break and no badges to chase. Instead, Grow shows you the bigger picture: when your habits actually work, and how they quietly compound over weeks, months, and a whole year. Because building a better life isn't about a perfect run of days. It's about understanding yourself, and showing up again and again, without the pressure. NO STREAKS. NO GUILT. JUST PROGRESS. Miss a day? Nothing breaks. Grow is built so a single setback never undoes your momentum or your motivation. You see how far you've come, not where you slipped, so it's easy to simply pick back up tomorrow. SEE WHEN YOUR HABITS ACTUALLY WORK Grow reveals the patterns behind your habits. Discover which days of the week you're strongest, watch your monthly totals build across the year, and see your effort compounding instead of fixating on small dips. Real change is a trend, not a tally. INSIGHTS THAT HELP YOU UNDERSTAND YOURSELF The Insights tab stacks all your habits together in one clear picture, so you can compare them side by side and find the ones that genuinely resonate, the habits that stick for you. No two people are the same, and Grow helps you learn what works for you specifically. SEE YOUR WHOLE YEAR AT A GLANCE Zoom out from today to your entire year. Spot your strongest months, follow your momentum, and keep your long game in view, beautifully mapped and never cluttered. ORGANIZE EVERYTHING BY CATEGORY Group habits into categories and switch between them instantly. Focus on what matters today without losing the bigger picture. DESIGNED TO BE CALM, NOT OVERWHELMING Grow honors sleek, elegant, distraction-free design. No noisy gamification, no manufactured rewards, just a clean, native app that's a quiet pleasure to open every day, in both light and dark mode. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your habits are yours alone. Grow syncs seamlessly across iPhone, iPad, and Mac with iCloud, and keeps your data private. PERFECT FOR - Workouts, stretching, and getting your steps in - Reading, studying, and learning a new language or a word a day - Sleeping on time and drinking more water - Meditation, journaling, and a daily moment of gratitude - Practicing an instrument or a creative craft - Cutting back on screen time, caffeine, or other habits you'd like to change - Taking vitamins or keeping up a daily routine - Anyone who's abandoned a habit app after breaking a streak - Students, professionals, parents, and anyone who wants to understand themselves better, without the pressure WHAT GROW DOESN'T DO - No streaks to lose - No badges, points, or gimmicks - No guilt, no clutter, no noise Start small. Stay consistent. Watch yourself grow.

Build a small exercise habit, one day at a time. Fit Timer helps you keep track of the movement you want to do every day: push-ups, squats, crunches, sit-ups, or your own exercises. Choose a manageable daily rep goal, do a few reps when it suits you, and record what you finished. A SIMPLE DAILY ROUTINE Start with three exercises or choose your own. Add 5 or 10 reps with a tap, or enter any amount. Made a mistake? Undo your last entry. REMINDERS THAT FIT YOUR DAY Daily reminders are enabled when you create an exercise, with a time you can change. Exercises at the same time share one notification. Finish a goal and its remaining reminders for today are skipped. Notification permission is required. SEE YOUR CONSISTENCY Follow your daily progress, active days, and current and best streaks. Any completed reps count as showing up. Browse your history to see what you have done. TIMED ROUTINES WHEN YOU WANT THEM Create a sequence of exercises with exercise and rest times. Pause, resume, or skip a step at your own pace. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU No account, ads, tracking, or analytics. Your exercises and history are stored on your device. Export and import CSV backups when you need them. Designed for iPhone and iPad, with dark mode and support for larger text.
