Build better habits with an identity-based habit tracker inspired by the idea that small actions compound into identity change. If Atomic Habits by James Clear resonated with you, Become gives you a simple daily system for applying identity-based habit building in real life. Become is an independent habit tracker and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by James Clear or Atomic Habits. Become helps you build routines you can actually keep — without guilt over the days you miss. Every action is a vote for the person you want to become. WHAT MAKES BECOME DIFFERENT Most habit apps track what you did. Become tracks who you are becoming. Choose an identity like Energized and Strong, Calm and Centered, Sharp and Curious, or create your own. Every habit you complete becomes evidence for that identity. Not a box ticked. Not a strict streak maintained. A vote cast. Open the app. See your identity in focus. Hold the CastVote button. Watch your evidence grow. The daily loop takes less than 60 seconds. FOCUS MODE — NEW You don't have to run every identity at once. Start a season on one identity and it goes live on Today and in your reminders. Everything else stays intact in your Library — history untouched — until you focus on it again. Free: one identity in focus. Premium: up to three. HOW IT WORKS • Choose who you want to become Pick an identity that matters to you. Your habits grow from your identity, not the other way around. • Start embarrassingly small Every habit includes a tiny version, like Read 1 page, and an emergency version, like Just open the book. No day is bad enough to skip a vote. • Cast your vote Press and hold to log your action. One vote per habit. Small votes compound into lasting consistency. KEY FEATURES • IDENTITY DASHBOARD See total votes cast for each identity you are building. Your habits are evidence, not chores. • CASTVOTE BUTTON A press-and-hold completion mechanic that makes each habit feel intentional, like casting a ballot for your future self. • EMERGENCY VERSIONS Set a minimum version for every habit. On busy or low-energy days, cast a smaller vote and keep your momentum alive. • HONEST JOURNEY A skip never counts as evidence — but it doesn't break your streak either. Real percentages: scheduled chances versus what you actually did. • HABIT STACKING AND SYSTEMS — Premium Chain habits into ordered morning, evening, and custom routines, then walk through them step by step with the guided stack runner. • WEEKLY REFLECTION — Free for everyone Review your evidence, pick exactly one change for next week, and apply it immediately. No paywall on the habit that actually helps you improve. • SMART IDENTITY NOTIFICATIONS Reminders use identity-first language, not guilt. Instead of "Time to exercise," Become reminds you: "Time to cast your vote for Energized and Strong." Capped at 3 a day so they nudge, never nag. • HOME SCREEN WIDGETS & SIRI Track vote counts, streaks, and identity progress from your Home Screen, with an interactive button to cast a vote without opening the app. Or go hands-free with Siri, Shortcuts, and the Action Button. FREE VS PREMIUM Free includes: • 9 active habits • 3 identities, with 1 in Focus at a time • CastVote button with progress animation • Streaks and 7-day habit statistics • Weekly Reflection • Full data export • Smart identity notifications • All Home Screen widget styles Premium includes: • Unlimited habits and identities • Focus up to 3 identities at once • Habit Stacking and Systems • 30, 90, and 365-day advanced statistics • All future Premium features PRIVACY FIRST Your habit data stays on your device. No account required. No ads. No data selling. One opt-out analytics SDK sees anonymous usage patterns — never your habit content. One vote is all it takes to start becoming. Cast yours today.
