A gentle habit tracker for people who find productivity apps stressful. Complete tasks, earn seeds, grow a living garden — no guilt, no shame, no punishing streaks.

HabitLeaf turns your daily habits into a living garden. Every habit you plant starts as a seed. Check it off each day and it sprouts, grows and blooms. Skip too often and it wilts. Stay consistent for 66 days, the point where research says a routine becomes automatic, and your plant is fully grown: your habit is formed. YOUR HABITS, AS PLANTS Choose from 50 hand-drawn plant species: flowers, trees, fruits, herbs, desert plants and exotic jungle species. Each one grows through 10 stages, from seed to evergreen. Your home screen becomes a garden that shows, at a glance, how your life is going. BUILT ON HABIT SCIENCE The growth curve follows habit-formation research: it takes most people about 66 days of repetition before a behavior becomes automatic. HabitLeaf tracks exactly that journey. Once a habit is formed, your plant is protected: one bad week will not undo months of work. EVERYTHING A SERIOUS TRACKER NEEDS - Flexible schedules: daily, several times per day, weekly or monthly goals - Streaks that handle real life: week and month goals count properly, time zones and daylight saving included - A clean heatmap for every habit, so you see your consistency at a glance - Detailed statistics: current streak, best streak, completion rate, trends - Reminders with personality: short coaching nudges instead of generic alerts - 100 hand-drawn habit icons and 21 colors to make each habit yours - Categories to group your habits - Share any habit as a beautiful progress card - Archive finished habits without losing their history - Full backup and restore, your data stays on your device CELEBRATE PROGRESS Level-ups are celebrated. When your plant reaches a new stage you see it grow, and when a habit is formed after 66 days you get the moment it deserves. HABITLEAF PRO Start with 3 habits and 10 plant species. One single purchase unlocks unlimited habits, unlimited reminders, all 50 species and backup. No subscription, pay once and keep your garden forever. Plant your first seed today. Small steps, growing daily.
