Pebble — step-based habit & task tracker Build momentum, not just checkmarks. Pebble lets you break any task into small steps you can swipe to record—so even “one line of code” or “10 pages read” counts and keeps your streak alive. Why Pebble? Traditional to-do apps are all-or-nothing. Pebble tracks the progress inside the task. You decide what a “step” means: Progress units (e.g., 1 step = 10 minutes of coding), or Weekly frequency (e.g., basketball 2×/week = 2 steps). How it works Create a task with an emoji and choose the number of steps. Swipe a step whenever you make progress—tiny or big. Set reminders for the exact days and time you want a nudge. Watch your streak grow and your targets fill up. Features Step-based tracking: capture partial progress with satisfying swipes. Weekly goals: set steps to represent how many times per week you’ll do something. Flexible steps: increase/decrease step count anytime; add labels or emoji inside steps. Smart reminders: pick specific weekdays and a time (e.g., Tue/Fri 19:00). Streaks & targets: stay motivated with clear progress bars and completion states. Quick controls: Shift, Reset, and Delete for fast adjustments. Themes & language: Day, Night, and Chill Vibes; English & Turkish. Daily quote: optional inspiration to keep you moving. Great for Coding daily, reading, workouts, language practice, instrument sessions, study blocks, side-projects—and any habit where progress > perfection. Pebble turns tiny actions into visible momentum—one swipe at a time.

The last thing a distracted mind needs is a distracting timer. Countdown clocks make you watch the clock. Pomodoro systems give you another system to manage. Most focus tools pull your attention away from the work you're trying to do. Current turns time into something you feel rather than watch. Pick 5, 15, 30 minutes, or set your own. The screen shifts slowly from green to red — color, motion, and haptics telling you where you are without pulling your attention from what you're doing. No countdown clock. No system to follow. No dashboard to optimize. Built for distractible minds, and anyone who doesn't want the tool to get in the way of the work. One-time purchase. No subscription.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Pebble at Free against Current's $2.99. Pebble also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Current's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
