A fast, focused habit tracker that makes staying consistent feel simple and satisfying. DESIGNED FOR EASE OF USE See all your habits in a clean grid or list. Open the app, tap, and you are done. No clutter, hidden menus, or loading screens getting in the way. Every completion feels like a small win, so you actually want to come back tomorrow.

Backfill entire weeks or months in minutes and bring over your history from other apps without starting from zero. Smart Reminders: Already hit your goal for the day? Ember stays silent. You only get nudges when you still have something to do, so reminders feel helpful instead of annoying. Apple Watch App: Log habits directly from your wrist in seconds. Perfect for the gym, walks, or moments when your phone is not nearby. Health App Sync: Add habits like Steps or Calories and they sync with Apple Health. The habit completes automatically once you reach your target. Quit Habits: Track what you want to stop doing, not just what you want to start. Perfect for quitting smoking, vaping, snus, or alcohol.
