Build a routine you can keep, one day at a time. HobbyIt brings your hobbies and healthy habits into one daily log. Set a goal, record what you did, and see your progress over time—from reading and music practice to walking, workouts, sleep and meal logging. MAKE YOUR DAILY GOAL CLEAR Choose a hobby, set a target and use the tools that fit it. Log time, distance, laps, effort or daily counts. Start a practice timer or add minutes when you finish. SEE YOUR CONSISTENCY Review daily entries, charts and streaks. Track time invested and share a progress card when you want to celebrate a milestone. KEEP HEALTH ROUTINES TOGETHER Log meals, macros, water and weight alongside your other routines. Connect supported activities to Apple Health with your permission. REDUCE A HABIT WITH BETTER RECORDS Keep a daily count, set a reduction target and review your logged progress. HobbyIt is a general wellness tracker, not a treatment or medical recovery monitor. OPTIONAL ON-DEVICE COACHING On supported devices with Apple Intelligence enabled, generate coaching tips for your routine. AI suggestions can be inaccurate; use your own judgment. Core logging does not require AI. START WITH ONE HOBBY Track one hobby and view seven days of statistics for free. HobbyIt Pro unlocks additional hobbies and longer history. Available purchase options and local prices are shown in the app. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled in your App Store subscription settings.
