Grind daily. Grow visually. Grindly turns your habits into color grids. Show up, tap once, today fills in. Finish the day and you get a small party. Miss yesterday? A joker can save the streak without pretending you were there. THE GRID IS THE APP Each habit gets its own 16-week grid. Blank tiles turn into color as you stay consistent. The grid does not flatter you, which is why a full month of it feels good. TRACK WHAT MATTERS Meditation, gym, reading, water, journaling, sleep, or anything you do daily. Targets from 1x to 5x a day. Tap a tile. That is it. JOKERS Every 7-day streak mints a joker (you can hold two). Play one and yesterday turns gold: the streak holds, the miss stays on the record. Earning jokers is free. Playing one is Pro. STREAKS, HONESTLY Current streak, best streak, total days, completion rate. A miss is a gap, not a lecture. A joker is insurance, not a cheat that paints the day as done. WIDGETS Home Screen and Lock Screen. Grid, streak, tap to complete. No need to open the app. SYNC iCloud keeps habits and streaks in sync. Morning check-in on iPhone, week review on iPad. NO SUBSCRIPTION. EVER. One habit free forever. Unlock unlimited habits, widgets, jokers, data export, and more with a single lifetime purchase. No trials. No monthly fees. Pay once, own it. WHY GRINDLY? Most habit trackers bury you in features, then charge you every month. Grindly makes the daily grind visible. If you are tired of bloated apps with recurring payments, this is for you. Start your first streak today.
