Strike — Kind habit tracker, no guilt You download a habit app on a Sunday, full of good intentions. You check things off, your streak climbs, you feel great. Then a hard day comes, you miss once… the counter drops back to zero — and you never open the app again. It's not you. It's the counter. Strike is the habit tracker built for real life: the one that helps you START AGAIN instead of punishing you. Good habits to build, bad habits to quit, daily routines, wellness or productivity goals — all in one, simple and motivating. NO PUNISHMENT, NO "ALL OR NOTHING" • Missing a day doesn't wipe out weeks of progress (science backs this up). • Freeze your streak on off days, sickness or the unexpected: your progress stays safe. • A heatmap that shows 26 days done out of 30: that's progress, not failure. • An encouraging tone that pushes you forward — never fear-of-failure messages. WHAT OTHERS FORGET: HELPING YOU RESTART Strike notices when you slip and offers a gentle way back, with a "2-minute" version of your habit for bad days. It's the exact moment every other app loses you. About to break a great streak over a single missed day? Strike offers to save it before it's too late. GOOD AND BAD HABITS Quit smoking, cut screen time, less sugar, less alcohol… Track what you want to QUIT too, with a counter of clean days and streaks that celebrate every day you win. TRULY FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING • Every day, X times a week, specific days, or every X days. • Multi-count: one habit completed over several check-ins (8 glasses of water, brushing 3×). • Adjustable daily and weekly goals — without creating ten duplicate habits. REMINDERS THAT ACTUALLY WORK Several reminders per habit, at the time YOU choose. A reminder is often the whole reason you install an app: here, it's there when you need it. STATS THAT MEAN SOMETHING Current streaks and records, success rate, 12-month heatmap, best days, consistency, year in review and badges to unlock. Log your daily mood and discover what really drives your consistency: sleep, energy, mood. WIDGETS & CELEBRATIONS Check off from your home screen without even opening the app. Celebrate your perfect days and milestones (7, 30, 100 days) with real little wins that make you want to keep going. MAKE IT YOURS Pick icons and colors, turn on dark mode, reorder your habits with a drag. Create a habit in under 10 seconds, with no endless setup. FAST AND FRICTIONLESS Open and check off in under a second, even with lots of habits. One tap to complete. Rename or edit a habit anytime, without ever losing your history or your progress. 100% PRIVATE, 100% YOURS • Your data stays on your phone. No account, no forced cloud. • No ads. Ever. • Works offline. HONEST PRICING Start free with 5 habits. Go Premium whenever you want, with a one-time lifetime option — no forced subscription, no fake free. PERFECT FOR: building a morning or evening routine, keeping your New Year's resolutions, drinking more water, meditating, working out and fitness, reading, studying, journaling, sleeping better, gratitude, saving money, cutting screen time, quitting smoking or a bad habit — or simply staying consistent and disciplined day after day. Whether you're building a good habit or breaking a bad one, Strike meets you with kindness, not pressure. Miss a day without losing everything. Pick up right where you left off. And above all: come back tomorrow. Download Strike and finally build habits that stick — gently. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
