Build a routine you want to return to. KeepFlame brings habits, to-dos and a growing card collection together on your iPhone. MAKE TODAY COUNT Create daily habits or choose specific weekdays. Hold to mark a habit complete, keep to-dos alongside it and turn a recurring to-do into a habit. Optional reminders help you remember what matters. TURN PROGRESS INTO A COLLECTION Start with a welcome gift of 10 Ember. Complete all of today's scheduled habits to earn 10 more, with another 10 for every 7 consecutive perfect days. Each draw costs 10 Ember and reveals a card you do not yet own. Collect two series: 22 illustrated Nocturne Arcana cards and 24 felted Habit Figures, with no duplicates within a series. Switch series anytime in Collection or Settings; each series keeps its own progress. To-dos do not earn Ember. Ember cannot be bought, traded or redeemed for money. Cards are for collecting and sharing. No fortune-telling features are included. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Review weekly, monthly and yearly completion rates. Heatmaps, streaks and each habit's calendar help you see your progress over time. Browse your Collection, open a card to see its details and share its image through the iOS share sheet. KEEP YOUR DAY IN VIEW Optional Live Activities show your habit progress on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island on supported iPhones. Choose your language inside the app from 22 options. FREE, OFFLINE AND PERSONAL All current features and both included card series are free. There are no in-app purchases, ads, analytics or accounts. Habits, history and your collection are stored on your device, with no cloud sync. Internet access is not needed to use the app. Opening external links or sharing uses the services you choose.

About

Quilt

Read full description

Quilt is a habit tracker that shows your whole year as a quilt, not just this week. Every day is a patch; by December you have the whole quilt. It's the view that makes you not want to break the streak: you see the month you slipped and the seven straight weeks you didn't, all at once. Free, no account needed (only to do it with friends). THE WHOLE YEAR, SEWN INTO A QUILT Every habit gets its own quilt: twelve month blocks stitched together, each day a patch in the habit's own print, with a stitched border. Days still to come are patches waiting to be sewn, with a dashed outline; on a counted habit, a half-done day is half a patch. Each habit picks its print the way it picks its color: 3 free prints (plain, polka dots, stripes) and 12 more with Pro, like gingham, flowers and stars. Tap any past day to mark it: if you forgot Sunday, it's fixed in a second. Current streak, best streak, total days and completion rate, counted over the days that actually asked something of you. DO IT TOGETHER, IF YOU WANT Share one habit with up to four other people and see, day by day, who has done it. No feed, no chat, no likes, no rankings, and no shared streak that someone else can break: Quilt counts the days you all did it. You sign in with Apple or Google only when you open this part, and everything social is free. Only that habit's name, emoji, schedule and its done days are shared, never your other habits, stats or reminders. Leave, block, report or delete your account at any time. TICK OFF WITHOUT OPENING THE APP Interactive widgets for your Home Screen, in three sizes, plus widgets for the Lock Screen. One tap on the square and the habit is done. The medium and large widgets also show each habit's streak and its last seven days, so you see where you stand without going in. A year widget shows the whole year of any habit you pick. Siri and Shortcuts can mark a habit too: just say "Mark a habit in Quilt". SKIPPED DAYS BREAK NOTHING You were ill. You were away. You chose to rest. Press and hold a day to mark it skipped: it doesn't count as a miss, doesn't count as a win, doesn't break the streak and doesn't sink your percentage. That's the difference between an app that walks with you and one that punishes you. COUNTED HABITS Eight glasses of water. Thirty minutes of reading. Three sets. Set a daily target and watch it fill up, in the app and on the widget. THREE DAYS A WEEK, WHICHEVER YOU LIKE Want to run three times a week without tying yourself to set days? Give it a weekly target: any day counts, and your streak and percentage are measured in weeks. One bad Tuesday no longer breaks your streak. REMINDERS THAT DON'T NAG One time per habit, on the days you scheduled. Tick it off right from the notification, and once it's done, it stays quiet. No eleven-o'clock notification to tell you that you failed. SHARE YOUR YEAR, PRINT YOUR QUILT Make a clean image of your week, month or whole year, quilt included, and share it anywhere. No big watermark. And for your wall, the year poster, sewn as a quilt too, in A4, A3 or Letter. ACTUALLY FREE Three habits, every widget, every reminder, the full export and the complete year quilt. No trial clock. No card required. QUILT PRO Removes the habit limit and the ads, unlocks all eight colors and 12 more prints, shows how often you keep each daily habit on every day of the week, this month against last, and lets you print your year as a poster. One payment for life, or monthly if you prefer. If you have ever kept a year in pixels page or a habit calendar on paper, Quilt is that, on your phone: the habit tracker built to still be open in December. YOUR HABITS STAY ON YOUR iPhone Your habits and history live on your phone, in a file you can export whenever you like and import again on another device. An account is optional and only for sharing a habit with friends. The free version shows a banner ad from Google; see the privacy policy. Terms of use: https://quilt.baltajmn.dev/terms.html

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: KeepFlame at none against Quilt's shown. Quilt's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
