Orbit socializes habit tracking. Create a habit, invite your friends, track your progress, and grow together sustainably. **Build Habits with Real Accountability** Most habit trackers let you lie to yourself. Orbit doesn't. When your friends are counting on you — and you can see their progress every day — showing up becomes non-negotiable. Whether it's morning runs, reading before bed, or practicing guitar, your group sees your progress in real time. No more excuses, no more falling off alone. **Social by Design** Invite up to 5 friends per habit. See who's crushing it, who needs support, and celebrate milestones together. Check out your friends' photo galleries, track collective XP, and build habits that actually revolve around real relationships. **Photo Check-Ins That Keep It Real** Every check-in requires a photo. It's simple, honest, and impossible to fake. Your progress is visible to everyone in your group, creating the kind of accountability which science has proven works best. **Watch Your Planets Evolve** Each habit is represented by a planet that grows as your group builds momentum together. Earn XP for every check-in, unlock bonuses for group streaks, and level up together. Failing to complete your habit makes the entire group’s progress suffer. **Key Features:** - Group accountability with up to 5 members per habit - Photo check-in verification - XP and streak tracking with group bonuses - Customizable habit schedules and frequencies - Calendar views showing your entire history - Secure invite system for building your crew Start building habits that stick.

A habit tracker counts how often you show up. Hokd shows whether you are actually getting better. Built for solo founders, indie makers, and freelancers working toward a real business goal. No hustle-bro noise. No empty status bars. Just an honest record of the work and proof you are moving forward. REFLECTION Capture quick notes on the go. On-device Apple Intelligence finds the turning points and patterns hidden in your own words, so you stop talking yourself into things and start seeing what is real. PLAYBOOKS Version your pitch, script, or routine. Score every run as a win, neutral, or loss, and watch your real hit rate climb over time. THE MOUNTAIN Every stage and every lesson becomes altitude. The climb only goes up. A loss you learn from is a step forward, and nothing here resets to zero. Become unstoppable through many small steps. LOGBOOK Your real work in one private record. Daily logging fits into a few seconds, and a home screen widget keeps your next step in view. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. Your data stays in your own iCloud and syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. HOKD PRO Try Hokd Pro free for 14 days, then choose monthly or a one-time lifetime unlock. Pro is where Hokd works for you: it reads your logbook back to you, turns playbooks into cards, suggests a pace, and keeps every evaluation in one archive you can export. Your logbook, reflection, playbooks and recaps stay free. Get better instead of talking yourself into it.
