HabitNova helps you build the habits you've been meaning to keep โ€” without the noise. A calm, privacy-first habit tracker that lives on your device. No clutter, no manipulation, no dark patterns. Just a quiet space to design the routines you want and watch them take shape over time. A SKY THAT REFLECTS YOUR DAY Every habit is a star. Complete it, and it lights up. Light three or more in a single day and they form a real constellation โ€” Orion's Belt, Cassiopeia, the Big Dipper, Cygnus, and more. The pattern you trace is yours alone, and you can share it as an image with a single tap. EVERYTHING YOU NEED, NOTHING YOU DON'T โ€ข Daily, weekly, and monthly habits โ€ข Smart reminders with multiple times per day โ€ข Streaks, completion rates, and consistency tracking โ€ข 28-day activity heatmaps and per-habit history โ€ข Tap to complete, long-press to edit, swipe to archive or delete DESIGN THAT GETS OUT OF THE WAY Hand-tuned typography in Fraunces and Inter. Dynamic light and dark themes. AMOLED-friendly true black mode. Subtle haptic feedback that rewards without distracting. PRIVACY-FIRST, ALWAYS Your habits stay on your device. No ads tracking your behavior between apps. No analytics quietly collecting everything you do. No syncing your data to a server unless you choose to.
