Build habits that stick. HabitTap is a habit tracker built around one idea: pick a cue, then tap. It is made for people who have tried before and stopped β€” so resting is not failing. Forgetful some days? Motivation comes and goes? That is expected here. HabitTap is designed to be ADHD-friendly. β–  Anchor a habit to something you already do "After I brush my teeth, stretch for 2 minutes." Choose a cue from the list, and the new habit rides along with it. β–  Log from your home screen Add the widget and log without opening the app. Small, medium and Lock Screen widgets are included. β–  Rest without breaking β€’ Rest days: up to one a week that does not count as a miss β€’ Mini version: on hard days, log a smaller amount β€’ Welcome back: come back after a gap without being scolded We do not use the fear of losing a streak to keep you going. β–  See habits become automatic Once a week, answer four short questions. HabitTap shows how automatic each habit has become, based on a self-report measure of habit automaticity. β–  Also β€’ 8 languages β€’ Dark Mode, Dynamic Type and VoiceOver β€’ iPad β€’ Export and import your data β–  HabitTap Premium Free: up to 5 habits, logging (up to 5 a day), widgets, reminders and the weekly review. Premium (monthly / yearly / lifetime) adds: β€’ Unlimited habits and daily logs β€’ How automatic, over time β€’ App icons and widget designs β€’ Log automatically from Apple Health (steps, workouts, mindful minutes) The yearly plan includes a 14-day free trial for eligible new subscribers.
