Most habit apps make you start over the moment you slip. Trackity is built around the days you miss, not just the ones you don't. UNLIMITED HABITS. FREE. FOREVER. Not four. Not five. As many as you want, on the free plan, permanently. Nothing that is free today will ever move behind the paywall later. EVERY WIDGET, FREE Put your habits on the home screen and tick them off without opening the app. Other trackers charge for this. Here it is free, and it is interactive. THE EVENING REVIEW One quiet moment a day. Swipe through today's habits, and catch up any day you missed in the last three. You decide whether a slip breaks the chain, not the app. WEEKLY GOALS, NOT JUST PERFECT DAYS "Three times a week" is a real habit. Trackity tracks it as one, so a rest day is not a failure. SEE WHERE YOU ACTUALLY ARE A week ledger showing every habit against every day. Contribution grids that fill up as the weeks pass. One number that tells you what is left today. ONE REMINDER, AT YOUR TIME A single nudge a day, at the hour you choose. No streak guilt, no badges you did not ask for, no marketing. NO ACCOUNT. There is nothing to sign in to and nothing to sign up for. Your habits live on your iPhone. PREMIUM ADDS No ads, iCloud sync and backup, the Apple Watch app, calendar and year views, themes, and data export. The free app stays free. SUBSCRIPTION AND TERMS Trackity Premium is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase.
