Habits for imperfect people. Alined is the habit tracker for people who fall off. Most trackers live and die by the unbroken streak. Miss one day and it's back to zero, and that's usually when people quit. Alined counts what actually builds a habit: showing up most days, and coming back when you don't. MISS ONCE? YOUR STREAK SURVIVES. Your imperfect streak forgives a single miss. Two in a row breaks it, so the day after a slip Alined simply says: don't miss twice. HARD DAY? GO TINY. Give every habit a tiny version: one page, one glass, shoes on. On a hard day it still counts as showing up. FELL OFF? COME BACK IN GOLD. Coming back after a break is a comeback, and it's celebrated. Comebacks are drawn in gold on your year, and Insights shows how quickly you usually return. YOUR WHOLE YEAR ON ONE SCREEN Every day of the year at a glance, for each habit and all of them together. Momentum rises when you show up and eases off when you don't, so one bad day never wipes out a good month. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE - Check habits off with one tap, count them up (8 glasses), or log the tiny version - Rest days for when you're sick or travelling, never counted against you - Gentle reminders with calm sounds - Interactive Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets - Weekly rhythm, comebacks and a habit ranking in Insights - Your Year in Review, made to share - Light and dark mode, 11 languages - No ads, no account needed ALINED PRO (OPTIONAL) - Apple Health auto-tracking: link a habit to steps, exercise, workouts, mindful minutes, sleep, water or stand hours, and it checks itself off - Automatic iCloud backup to your private iCloud account - Deeper patterns: which habits pull each other along, your best time of day, and month-by-month trends - Every accent color Alined Pro is available as a yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm. The subscription renews automatically unless it's canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.

You need to come back.
