If you're looking for a good habit tracker, this isn't it. There are no streaks. No goals. No gold stars for pretending you've changed. not proud is a minimalist habit tracker for your bad habits. A daily log of the little choices you'd rather not explain out loud. You confess. We record. Once a month, we show you what actually happened. No motivation. Just receipts. WHAT THIS APP IS (AND ISN'T) This is a habit tracker, technically. But it's not here to "fix" you. It's a bad habit tracker, a confession journal, and a monthly reality check - for anyone who keeps doomscrolling, overspends, impulse buys, stays up too late, skips workouts, eats junk food, drinks again… and somehow acts surprised every month. CONFESS - Daily Logging Write a quick confession (or don't). Tap a category and move on. Add custom categories for your own special brand of chaos. CATEGORIES - 30+ Defaults + Custom Common bad habits and lapses built in. Fully customizable. Search, reorder, and manage categories easily. ARCHIVE - Calendar of Regret Every confession is saved in a clean monthly calendar. Tap any day to see what you logged. Yes, it's all there. SPOTLIGHT - Monthly Review A once-a-month reel that summarizes how many times you confessed, your most frequent lapses, repeated words and patterns, and your top category of the month. With a longer, sharper roast. Not motivational. Just accurate. WIDGET SUPPORT Log instantly from your Home Screen. No effort. Which is good, because… you. WHY PEOPLE USE IT Because normal habit trackers assume you want to become a better person. This one assumes you just want to be honest. Track your bad habits. See patterns. Laugh a little. Cringe a little. Repeat next month. PRIVACY Your confessions are personal. So we treat them like it. No public feed. No sharing. No social pressure. Just your private archive of questionable decisions. DOWNLOAD IT IF… You want a habit tracker without toxic positivity You want to track bad habits and guilty pleasures You want a journal that doesn't pretend everything is self-care You want something simple enough to actually use daily
