About

Habit Tracker

Features
Read full description

Reflect is a habit app built around a simple idea: focus on one habit at a time. Instead of tracking everything every day, Reflect works in clear, finite cycles — 7, 14, or 21 days. Each cycle helps you observe a single habit, log your activity, and understand how it fits into your daily life. There are no streaks to maintain and no pressure to be perfect. Missing a day doesn’t reset progress. The goal is awareness, not performance. How Reflect works • Choose one habit to focus on • Select a cycle length (7, 14, or 21 days) • Log your activity once per day • Optionally tag how the day felt • Review insights when the cycle ends What makes Reflect different • One habit per cycle — no overload • Finite timelines instead of endless tracking • Reflection over streaks • Clean, distraction-free design • All data stored locally on your device Insights and reflection At the end of each cycle, Reflect summarizes your activity in a clear, visual way. Review completion patterns, daily logs, and reflections to decide what worked — and what didn’t. Your first cycle includes full access to insights, so you can understand the value before continuing. Designed for privacy Reflect does not require an account. Your data stays on your device. Reflect is for people who want clarity, not pressure. One habit. One cycle. One step at a time.

How did today feel? That's the only question Vesper ever asks. No streaks to protect. No scores to chase. No guilt for the days you miss. Vesper doesn’t gamify your feelings or compete for your attention, it asks once each evening, then gets out of your way. What’s left, over time, is an honest, quiet record of your life worth actually looking back on. WHAT VESPER DOES Every evening, Vesper asks how today felt: Good, Meh or Hard. Add a line if you want to remember why. Your answer becomes one colored dot on a simple monthly grid. Miss a day and nothing happens, no penalty, no broken chain to mourn. Vesper never judges your day. It just holds it. Tap any past day to see what you wrote. Once you’ve kept it up for six months, your memory trail unlocks: every note you’ve ever written, in one place, in your own words. VESPER PLUS For anyone who wants to see the bigger picture, Vesper Plus reveals patterns that only show up over time: - Side by Side, comparing recent months at a glance - Shape of Your Weeks, seeing which days tend to feel harder - Quietest & Fullest, the months that stood apart - Yearly Portrait, one full year, at a glance - On This Day, a quiet echo of what today looked like a month or a year ago Plus also includes: - iCloud sync, so your record follows you across every device - An Apple Watch app, for checking in from your wrist - A home screen widget, a glance at your month without opening the app - Curated themes: Chalk, Marigold, and Ink - Anytime check-in, if evenings aren't when your day actually ends Vesper Plus is available as a monthly or annual subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Vesper syncs privately through your own iCloud account. Nothing is shared, sold, or used to train anything. Some days are good. Some are hard. Most are somewhere in between. Vesper is a quiet place to keep track of all of them.
