UNDERSTAND YOUR PATTERNS. BREAK THE CYCLE. Hubbit isn't just another habit tracker. It's the companion that helps you understand why you slip, so you can finally break unwanted behaviors for good. WHY HUBBIT IS DIFFERENT Most habit trackers count streaks and call it a day. But streaks don't tell you why you keep falling back into old patterns. Hubbit does. We combine habit tracking with AI-powered journaling to spot the triggers, emotions, and patterns you can't see about yourself. TRACK WITH CONTEXT Every habit check-in captures: - Mood (how you felt) - Energy level (physical state) - Difficulty (easy or struggle?) - Optional notes for deeper reflection This isn't just data it's the context that makes AI insights actually useful. JOURNAL YOUR WAY Text Journaling: - Free-form or guided prompts - Link entries to specific habits - Tag moods and emotions - Private and secure Voice Journaling (Premium): - Just speak your thoughts - Auto-transcribed with AI - Fully searchable - Perfect for emotional moments when typing feels like too much AI-POWERED INSIGHTS Over time, Hubbit's AI analyzes your journals and check-ins to surface patterns: "You've mentioned feeling lonely before 4 of your last 5 slips. This might be a key trigger." "You slip most between 9-11pm on weekdays when your energy is low." "Days you journal in the morning, you're 3x more likely to complete your evening habits." These aren't generic tips; they're personalized insights based on YOUR patterns. SMART REMINDERS THAT ACTUALLY WORK Forget "daily at 9am" reminders. Hubbit learns when YOU struggle: - Vulnerability Windows: Reminders before your typical risk times - Specific Schedules: Custom days and times for each habit - Interval Check-ins: Multiple reminders spread throughout your day - Streak Milestones: Automatic encouragement at critical points - AI Nudges (Premium): Context-aware support when you need it most FEATURES AT A GLANCE - Unlimited habit tracking - Build or quit any behavior - Context-rich check-ins - Text journaling - AI pattern recognition - Smart reminder system - Calendar heat maps - Mood & energy analytics - Streak tracking with compassion - Voice journaling (Premium) - Real-time AI insights (Premium) - Home screen widgets - Private and secure BUILT FOR REAL BEHAVIOR CHANGE Whether you're trying to: - Break phone/social media addiction - Stop emotional or binge eating - Quit procrastination habits - Build consistent exercise routines - Develop meditation or journaling practices - Overcome any compulsive behavior Hubbit gives you the tools and insights to understand yourself and change for good. WARM, NON-JUDGMENTAL SUPPORT Recovery isn't linear. Hubbit knows that. When you slip, you won't get shame—you'll get compassion and insight. "Recovery isn't linear. What matters is you're here.

Most screen time apps are easy to dismiss. A tap. A passcode you set yourself. An exception you grant in three seconds. You already know this. You've tried them all. Sentence works differently. To unlock a blocked app, you write a sentence by hand — on paper — and scan it with your camera. Every time. No bypass. No exceptions. No "ignore for today." That moment of friction is the whole point. Most of the time, it's enough to make you put the phone down. HOW IT WORKS 1. Block any app or category — social media, streaming, games, news, anything. 2. Set your schedule — always on, a specific time window or a particular limit. 3. When you try to open a blocked app, you see a screen. Tap "Write Sentence." Sentence opens. 4. Write the sentence on paper. Hold it up. Scan it. The block lifts — for that session. 5. Tomorrow, you write it again. THE RITUAL Choose what you write each time you unlock: · Enquiry — why are you reaching for your phone right now? Answer honestly. · Affirmations — reinforce the person you're trying to become. · Literature — Seneca. Thoreau. Orwell. One line that reframes the moment. · Roasting — brutal honesty about what you're about to do with the next hour. · Custom — write your own sentence. Your commitment, your words. BLOCK ON YOUR TERMS · Block specific apps or entire categories · Time-based schedules — morning, night, all day, specific windows · Multiple block groups with different schedules and sentence types · Zen Mode — prevents deleting apps from your phone. Requires handwriting to disable. WHO SENTENCE IS FOR You've set screen time limits. You turned them off. You've tried grayscale mode. You adapted in a week. You've deleted the apps. You reinstalled them. You've tried willpower. It wasn't enough. Sentence isn't about willpower. It's about friction — a deliberate pause inserted between the impulse and the action. One sentence, written by hand, changes the calculus entirely. This is for people who are done with tricks that don't work. Access to Sentence features requires a paid subscription. Options include Monthly and Annual (with free trial). Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. Terms of Use : https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
