Most habits fail in the first two weeks. HabitGate helps you beat that. Whether you are building a fitness routine, journaling, or quitting a bad habit, HabitGate keeps your progress organized in one place. NO ACCOUNT. LOCAL-FIRST. JUST YOU AND YOUR GOALS. Your habit data stays on your device by default. No sign-up and no HabitGate account required. The only habit-data sync option is optional iCloud backup (iOS Pro), which syncs to your personal iCloud — never to our servers. We may use privacy-conscious attribution to measure ad performance, as described in our Privacy Policy. WHY HABITGATE? Unlike other trackers, HabitGate handles both Build and Quit habits with dedicated tracking logic for each. Most apps just count up; we help you count down, stay away, or reach new heights. One app, two directions, total clarity. STAY ON TRACK Smart Routines: Daily habits for everyone, plus weekly targets with Pro. Money & Time Saved (Pro): Add what a quit habit cost you each day and watch the money and hours you keep grow with every clean day. Smart Coach: One next small action under your active habit each day, picked for you. Badges: Eight milestone tiers — Flint, Ember, Spark, Kindling, Flame, Blaze, Inferno, Eternal — unlock as your streak grows. Habit Groups: Organise habits into groups like Morning, Exercise, or Work, so your day matches the way you think. Honest Streaks: Already quit something before installing HabitGate? Backdate your clean streak to reflect real progress. Intelligent Reminders: Set a custom habit reminder so you never miss a check-in. Streak At-Risk Alerts: Get notified if you have not checked in before your set time, so you never lose a streak. Built-in Rest Days (Pro): Life happens. Pause a habit so life does not break your streak. ADHD Friendly: A minimalist interface that reduces overwhelm and focuses on what matters. Focus Sessions (Pro): Stay locked in with timers tied to your habits. Pick a preset or custom duration; each session counts as a check-in. Quit Doomscrolling (iOS, Pro): Pick the apps that pull you in — TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, and more — and HabitGate blocks them in the hours and days you set. Use Bedtime, Work, Evening, or custom times, see how often you were stopped, and turn it off from the habit menu. UNDERSTAND YOUR JOURNEY Visual Progress: Grid view on the Habits screen, plus heatmaps, completion rates, and trends in Insights (Pro). Quality Ratings (Pro): Log a 1 to 5 score for each entry to track how well you did, not just if you did it. Urge & Slip Log: Log cravings and slip-ups with intensity, trigger category, and notes to spot patterns and recover faster. Urge Rescue: When a craving hits, start a short guided timer with a coping action and log how it went. Historical Insights (Pro): A full breakdown of your check-in history to identify patterns. POWERFUL UTILITIES Home Screen Widget (Pro): Check in instantly without even opening the app. Customization: Give every habit unique icons and colors. Data Sovereignty (Pro): Full CSV export and import. It is your data, your way. Share Progress: Capture and share a progress card for any habit from your habit list. Dark Mode: Beautifully designed for late-night journaling or early-morning planning. CHOOSE YOUR PATH FREE VERSION: Track up to 4 habits. 1 smart reminder per habit. Daily habits, groups, badges, urge tools, and backdated clean streaks. PRO UNLOCKS EVERYTHING: Unlimited habits and reminders. Weekly schedules. Quality ratings. Focus timers. Quit Doomscrolling (iOS). Money & time saved. Full Insights dashboard and Heatmaps. Home Screen Widget. Badge sharing. Export and import. Pause and resume. iCloud backup & restore (iOS), automatic every 12 hours. Your habits. Your data. Local-first by design.
