Stop fighting your brain and start working with it. Elastic is the first habit tracker designed specifically for the ADHD mind, built on the philosophy that consistency isn't about being perfectβ€”it's about being flexible. Most habit trackers shame you for "breaking a streak." Elastic encourages you to adjust. Life is unpredictable, and your energy levels fluctuate. Elastic adapts to meet you exactly where you are today.

Rhythms

Rhythms tracks the things that need doing again β€” and measures them the way you actually think about them: by how long it has been. Most reminder apps only know the calendar. "Every Sunday" is fine until you miss a Sunday, and then you are either four days early or a week behind. Rhythms adds a second kind of schedule that starts counting from the moment you actually finished. TWO WAYS TO REPEAT β€’ Fixed β€” the traditional calendar schedule: daily, chosen weekdays, monthly, yearly. The date is the date. β€’ Rolling β€” counts from your last completion. Change the sheets every 7 days, water the plants every 3, service the bike every 3 months. Late once and the next one moves with you, instead of punishing you for it. SEE HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN Every task shows its progress through its own cycle. The card fills up as the time is used, and once something is overdue it keeps counting β€” "+2d 4h" β€” with the colour warming gradually rather than shouting on day one. Prefer a ring around the button? Switch it in Settings. TODAY STAYS HONEST Anything overdue by more than three of its own cycles steps out of Today so it stops burying the things you can still get to. It is not hidden: a line at the top says how many, and takes you straight to them. HISTORY THAT MEANS SOMETHING Streaks count consecutive on-time completions, not consecutive days β€” because a task set to every three days was never meant to be done daily. See your on-time rate, your longest run, and a month of activity at a glance. BUILT LIKE AN IOS APP Light and dark, generous type, precise haptics, no clutter. Categories with your own colours and icons, and per-task overrides when one needs to stand out. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No analytics. No advertising. Nothing leaves your device unless you turn on iCloud sync, and then it goes only to your own iCloud account. Apart from that, the only network calls Rhythms makes are to the App Store when you buy something. FREE AND PRO Free keeps three tasks, with every scheduling feature and the full history. Pro removes the task limit and adds iCloud sync across your devices, plus backup and restore. One-off purchase, or a subscription if you would rather β€” your choice, and the one-off never expires. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS Rhythms Pro (Yearly) is US$9.99 per year and Rhythms Pro (Monthly) is US$0.99 per month; both auto-renew. The one-off Rhythms Pro is US$14.99, is permanent and never renews. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically for the same period unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the current period ends.
