Atomic Habits & Goal Tracker

Read full description

Build habits in five seconds a day. Tap once to check one off, watch your streak grow, and get back on track without guilt when life gets in the way. A habit tracker built on one idea: consistency beats perfection. Skip a day on purpose, freeze a streak, fix yesterday, or log something you forgot last week. Your history is always yours to edit. START IN SECONDS β€’ 67 ready-made habits in 7 categories: drink water, walk, read, meditate, work out, journal, sleep, no sugar and more. One tap sets up a sensible goal, schedule and time. β€’ Or create your own with a name, an exact time and one of 50 hand-drawn icons in any colour. TRACK HABITS YOUR WAY β€’ Check, count, timer or quit: tick a habit off, count glasses of water, run the built-in timer, or track something you want to stop. β€’ Flexible schedules: every day, chosen weekdays, 3 times a week, 4 times a month or every few days. Weekly goals show a small progress tally. β€’ Organise Today your way: group by time of day, sort A–Z or keep your own order, and move finished habits to the bottom. STREAKS THAT DON'T PUNISH β€’ Streak freezes quietly cover a missed day. You earn one for every 7 days in a row. β€’ Pause mode for travel or illness: paused days never break a streak and reminders stay quiet. β€’ Skip a day, edit any day, and back-fill days from before you started. REMINDERS THAT RESPECT YOU β€’ Pick an exact time for every habit, with up to four reminders per habit. β€’ Habits set for the same time arrive as one notification, never a pile of banners. β€’ An optional evening check-in nudges you only when something is still unfinished. SEE YOUR PROGRESS β€’ A progress ring for today, a weekly view, a calendar for every habit and a heatmap of your consistency. β€’ Insights show your perfect days, this week versus last, and your completion rate. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS β€’ Check habits off right from the Home Screen without opening the app. MAKE IT STICK β€’ Optional prompts help habits last: who this habit makes you, a two-minute version for hard days, and a cue like "after I pour my coffee" that appears in your reminder. PRIVATE BY DESIGN β€’ No account and no sign-up. Your habits live on your device and work offline. β€’ Export a backup file any time, or restore an automatic daily snapshot. MADE TO FEEL GOOD β€’ Light and dark themes, gentle haptics, smooth animations. β€’ Available in English, Deutsch, FranΓ§ais, EspaΓ±ol, PortuguΓͺs, Italiano, TΓΌrkΓ§e, Π£ΠΊΡ€Π°Ρ—Π½ΡΡŒΠΊΠ°, ζ—₯本θͺž, ν•œκ΅­μ–΄, 繁體中文 and Ψ§Ω„ΨΉΨ±Ψ¨ΩŠΨ©. FREE AND PRO Free: up to 4 habits with streaks, reminders, history, insights and Home Screen widgets. Pro (subscription): unlimited habits, deeper insights (best days, habit report, monthly report), large and Lock Screen widgets and a bigger streak-freeze bank. Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel any time in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions.

About

Deadline Countdown Tracker

Read full description

Count down every deadline and watch it fill in real time, so a due date is something you feel β€” not just a line on a list you forget. Most trackers show you a flat date. DeadlineRing turns each deadline into a living progress ring that fills as the clock runs down and shifts color with urgency: green while you're early, amber when it's getting close, and red when time is almost gone. One glance tells you exactly what needs you next β€” no math, no digging. WHAT YOU GET - Every deadline as a color-coded countdown ring you can read in a second - Escalating reminders that fire one week out, three days out, the day before, and the moment it's due - A focus timer you can run toward any specific deadline until the work is done - A full agenda and calendar view so nothing ahead ever sneaks up on you - On-time insights, streaks, and category breakdowns that show how well you're beating the clock - Subtasks and eight categories β€” work, study, project, personal, health, finance, event, and creative PERFECT FOR - Students juggling assignments, exams, and homework due dates - Professionals tracking project milestones and client deadlines - Freelancers who bill against delivery dates and can't afford a slip - Anyone tired of missing bills, renewals, and personal goals WHY NOT JUST USE REMINDERS OR A CALENDAR A calendar tells you a date exists; it doesn't make you feel the time draining away. DeadlineRing shows every deadline as a ring that visibly tightens and turns red as the hours vanish, plus stacked reminders and on-time stats that a plain to-do list will never give you. PRIVACY Everything stays on your device. No account, no ads, no tracking, and it works fully offline. FULL ACCESS The free version tracks up to 3 active deadlines. Premium unlocks unlimited deadlines and subtasks, focus sessions toward any deadline, the full set of escalating reminders, and complete on-time insights and streaks. Choose the plan that fits: Weekly, Yearly, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Stop missing due dates. Start beating the clock β€” add your first deadline and watch the ring begin to fill.
