About

Paceon

Features
Read full description

Paceon is a habit tracker with nothing in it that is trying to get your attention. No streak confetti, no badges, no leaderboard, no feed. One screen that asks what you meant to do today, and a record of what you did. TODAY Only what is due today, as cards. A habit you either did or did not is one tap. A habit with a number β€” three litres of water, thirty minutes of reading β€” counts up towards its target. Under the habits, a short list of one-off tasks, for the things that are done once and then are over. HABITS Every habit, whether it is due today or not, plus everything you have archived. Habits repeat on the weekdays you choose, with an optional reminder at a time you choose. Two kinds, one of them counted, both of them drawn the same way everywhere in the app. STATS Completion over a week, a month or a year, an activity chart, your perfect days, your best streak, and every habit ranked with the one you are struggling with at the top. Each habit keeps its own calendar of what you did and when. BUILT TO BE QUIET A monochrome interface, a dot-matrix display for the figures, and a single accent colour that is only ever used to mean "today" or "this is about to break". Light and dark, following your phone. Full VoiceOver support, and reduced motion is honoured everywhere. FREE AND PLUS Free is the whole app with four ceilings: five habits tracked at once, stats by the week, the default accent, and no daily summary. Habits on the free plan stay on your phone and are never uploaded. Plus lifts all four and adds backup. Your habits are kept in step across every phone you sign in on, so a lost phone is not a lost year. New subscribers can try Plus free for 7 days. After the trial, Paceon Plus is $0.99 a month, charged to your Apple ID, renewing until cancelled. Cancel any time in your App Store settings; Plus runs to the end of the month you have paid for. Stopping deletes nothing β€” your habits stay on your phone, and the backup is kept for 30 days in case you come back.

Verdict
