Make today count with Habit Tracker: Planner Routine, a calm daily habit tracker for building routines, reaching goals, protecting focus time, and understanding your progress. Create habits for anything you want to build or quit. Track simple checkmarks, counts, durations, or custom values. Plan routines by day, category, time of day, start date, end date, and custom weekly schedules. See progress without digging. Your Today view shows daily goals, completion rate, category filters, and quick logging in one clean dashboard. Add notes after important completions so your habit history captures the reason behind the result, not just the checkmark. Works with Apple Health. Link supported habits and your progress fills in automatically from the Health app: steps, activity minutes, active energy, sleep, water, heart rate variability, and mindfulness minutes. Values you log in Habit Tracker can be saved back to Apple Health too. Health data only syncs after you grant permission, and sync is included for free. Turn consistency into insight with stats, streaks, heatmaps, and reports. Review weekly, monthly, and yearly progress, spot your best days, compare sleep and hydration trends, and connect mood logs with habit completion to learn what helps your days feel better. Protect your streaks on hard days. Every week of completed days banks a Streak Shield that is spent automatically to save a streak when you miss a day. Skip a day on purpose without losing momentum, or turn on Vacation Mode so nothing breaks while you are away. Get a nudge only when it matters. Smart streak risk alerts warn you in the evening before a streak ends, and an optional evening check-in lists whatever is still open for the day. Both stay quiet when everything is already done. Stay focused with a built-in focus timer. Run timed sessions, save deep work minutes automatically, and attach focus time to any duration habit. Keep habits close with Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. Check progress, quick-log routines, and keep weekly, monthly, and yearly report widgets visible throughout the day. Built for everyday use: - Build and quit habits - Apple Health sync for steps, sleep, water, mindfulness, and more - Daily, weekday, weekend, and custom schedules - Checkmark, count, duration, and value tracking - Categories for routine, health, fitness, mind, work, and more - Habit templates for walking, water, sleep, meditation, reading, workouts, deep work, and more - Streaks, totals, heatmaps, and completion rates - Streak Shields, Vacation Mode, and streak-safe skip days - Smart streak risk alerts and an evening check-in - Mood logging and daily rewards - Focus sessions with automatic habit logging - Time and location reminders - Widgets for today, progress, and reports - Theme colors, with alternate app icons available in Premium - App Lock, export, and import tools available in Premium Habit Tracker Premium is an optional one-time purchase that unlocks unlimited habits, extra reminders, advanced reports, all widget habits, App Lock, backup/import, and alternate app icons.
