Build better habits with an identity-based habit tracker inspired by the idea that small actions compound into identity change. If Atomic Habits by James Clear resonated with you, Become gives you a simple daily system for applying identity-based habit building in real life. Become is an independent habit tracker and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by James Clear or Atomic Habits. Become helps you build routines you can actually keep — without guilt over the days you miss. Every action is a vote for the person you want to become. WHAT MAKES BECOME DIFFERENT Most habit apps track what you did. Become tracks who you are becoming. Choose an identity like Energized and Strong, Calm and Centered, Sharp and Curious, or create your own. Every habit you complete becomes evidence for that identity. Not a box ticked. Not a strict streak maintained. A vote cast. Open the app. See your identity in focus. Hold the CastVote button. Watch your evidence grow. The daily loop takes less than 60 seconds. FOCUS MODE — NEW You don't have to run every identity at once. Start a season on one identity and it goes live on Today and in your reminders. Everything else stays intact in your Library — history untouched — until you focus on it again. Free: one identity in focus. Premium: up to three. HOW IT WORKS • Choose who you want to become Pick an identity that matters to you. Your habits grow from your identity, not the other way around. • Start embarrassingly small Every habit includes a tiny version, like Read 1 page, and an emergency version, like Just open the book. No day is bad enough to skip a vote. • Cast your vote Press and hold to log your action. One vote per habit. Small votes compound into lasting consistency. KEY FEATURES • IDENTITY DASHBOARD See total votes cast for each identity you are building. Your habits are evidence, not chores. • CASTVOTE BUTTON A press-and-hold completion mechanic that makes each habit feel intentional, like casting a ballot for your future self. • EMERGENCY VERSIONS Set a minimum version for every habit. On busy or low-energy days, cast a smaller vote and keep your momentum alive. • HONEST JOURNEY A skip never counts as evidence — but it doesn't break your streak either. Real percentages: scheduled chances versus what you actually did. • HABIT STACKING AND SYSTEMS — Premium Chain habits into ordered morning, evening, and custom routines, then walk through them step by step with the guided stack runner. • WEEKLY REFLECTION — Free for everyone Review your evidence, pick exactly one change for next week, and apply it immediately. No paywall on the habit that actually helps you improve. • SMART IDENTITY NOTIFICATIONS Reminders use identity-first language, not guilt. Instead of "Time to exercise," Become reminds you: "Time to cast your vote for Energized and Strong." Capped at 3 a day so they nudge, never nag. • HOME SCREEN WIDGETS & SIRI Track vote counts, streaks, and identity progress from your Home Screen, with an interactive button to cast a vote without opening the app. Or go hands-free with Siri, Shortcuts, and the Action Button. FREE VS PREMIUM Free includes: • 9 active habits • 3 identities, with 1 in Focus at a time • CastVote button with progress animation • Streaks and 7-day habit statistics • Weekly Reflection • Full data export • Smart identity notifications • All Home Screen widget styles Premium includes: • Unlimited habits and identities • Focus up to 3 identities at once • Habit Stacking and Systems • 30, 90, and 365-day advanced statistics • All future Premium features PRIVACY FIRST Your habit data stays on your device. No account required. No ads. No data selling. One opt-out analytics SDK sees anonymous usage patterns — never your habit content. One vote is all it takes to start becoming. Cast yours today.

Flashd is the bouldering and climbing tracker built for real sessions. Log every route with your grade, attempts, and whether you topped, flashed, or failed, then review your stats when the session ends. TWO TRACKING MODES Pick the flow that fits your session. Timed mode runs a built-in timer for every route so you can see exactly how long each send takes. Quick mode lets you tap to log routes without a timer, perfect for fast sessions or when you just want the count. SESSION STATISTICS After every session, see your topped percentage, flash rate, total points, and highest grade. Track your improvement across sessions with French (4A to 9A) and Hueco (V0 to V17) grading systems. CUSTOM GRADING SYSTEMS Climbing at a gym with its own colour or grade names? Create a custom grading system for your gym or yourself. Each custom grade maps to a French or Hueco equivalent, so your points and stats stay consistent no matter where you climb. SCAN ROUTES WITH AI Snap a photo of the wall and Flashd detects the routes for you, with grades and hold colours. Tweak anything the AI got wrong, then save the routes for your whole gym to log in one tap. EARBUD TRACKING Use your earbud buttons to log routes phone-free. Control your entire bouldering session without touching your phone. (Timed mode) ACHIEVEMENTS Unlock achievements as you climb. Hit milestones for sessions, flashes, grades, and more. GYM LOCATIONS Find nearby climbing gyms and attach sessions to a location so your history stays organised. RANKINGS Compare your grades, points, and flash rates with friends and climbers at your gym. See where you stand on the leaderboard. CLIMB WITH FRIENDS Add friends, share sessions, and see how your climbing stacks up. Free to download. Get on the wall.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Become at none against Flashd's shown. Flashd's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
