Youβve done this before. Day 1 is easy. Then you miss a day, then two, and by day 12 nobodyβs counting anymore. Including you. V-click does the counting. How it works: 1. Pick a challenge and how many days it lasts: 7, 21, 30, 100. β30 daysβ is easier for your brain than βforeverβ. Not sure? Start with 7 and extend when youβre ready. 2. Tap once a day. Thatβs the whole job. 3. Watch the calendar fill up. The longer the row of ticks, the harder it is to break. Already started? Add the challenge by start date or by days done. V-click counts the rest. What you get: β’ Any daily challenge, with a metric (meditate 10 min/day) or without (just meditate) β’ A calendar inside every challenge β’ Long-press a day to log mood, an insight or a daily goal β’ Reminders so you donβt break the chain β’ A journal with every note and insight in one place β’ Your progress as an image with a progress bar, ready to share β’ A quote with a touch of humor every time you check a day. There are 203 of them. β’ iCloud sync between your devices Free to start. Premium unlocks unlimited challenges and your full history. Pick one challenge. Start today.
Habits Garden

Plant a habit. Tend it on the days you can. Watch it grow. Habits Garden is a habit tracker that does not push. There are no unreachable goals, no red numbers, and no lecture on the day you miss. REST IS A REAL ANSWER Every day a habit has three answers, not two: done, rest, or not yet. Rest is the one that matters. It freezes a streak instead of breaking it β a nine-day run with a rest day in the middle is still a nine-day run, and the app says so out loud: β9-day streak Β· 2 rest daysβ. Both numbers, because hiding the rests would be a smaller lie but still a lie. That single decision is the whole app. Every other tracker gives you a choice between lying to it and losing your streak. This one gives you a third option, and does not charge you for it. YOUR GARDEN Each habit is a plant. It grows as you tend it β a seed, a shoot, a bud, a flower in bloom β and a bad week wilts it rather than killing it. β’ A calendar of your months, in whichever of three styles you like: a garden bed, a watercolour wash, or ribbons. β’ Streaks, a thirty-day chart, and badges you can actually reach. β’ Every day: done, rest, or left alone. A perfect day counts rest days as kept. β’ Daily, chosen weekdays, or a weekly quota like three times a week. β’ The past week stays editable, in case you forgot to tick something on Tuesday. β’ Habits can be moved to the greenhouse for a while instead of deleted, and a deleted one can be dug back up for thirty days. ONE REMINDER, IF YOU WANT ONE One notification a day, at a time you choose. It does not arrive on days when everything is already done. If you need a break from it, a quiet week turns it off for seven days and back on by itself. YOUR GARDEN STAYS YOURS There is no account. There is no server. Nothing is ever sent to us. The app contains no networking code at all β not as a policy, as a property of how it is built. Your data stays on this device β and in its own backup, if that is turned on. We never see that copy. Your whole garden exports to a single file whenever you want it, and imports back the same way. The file opens on any phone, with no account. Everything in this version is free. No ads, no analytics, no tracking. DETAILS β’ Light and dark themes, three garden palettes, four flower shapes. β’ The flowers sway; if that distracts, one switch stops them. β’ Made for iPhone and iPad. β’ Thirty languages β from English, Ukrainian and Spanish to Korean, Vietnamese, Hebrew and Tamil β with right-to-left layout in Arabic, Hebrew, Persian and Urdu. β’ Works entirely offline, because it has no other option.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Habits Garden at none against V's 3. Habits Garden also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
