Shift Habits — the habit tracker built for real life. Most trackers punish you for missing a day. Shift doesn't. No streaks. No resets. Just momentum. Building habits isn't about perfection — it's about showing up over time. Shift uses a Momentum Score that smooths out bad days, so one missed session never undoes weeks of progress. HOW IT WORKS → Log habits daily (yes/no or custom quantities) → Your Momentum Score updates gradually — consistent effort builds it, occasional misses barely move it → When life gets in the way, the Recovery Engine suggests a lighter version of your habit so you can restart without feeling like you're back to zero FEATURES • Daily tracking — binary or quantitative • Momentum Score — a real measure of consistency over time • Recovery Engine — adaptive goals when adherence drops • Progress stats & full history • Reminders & notifications • Up to 3 habits free, forever SHIFT PREMIUM Unlock unlimited habits + advanced stats to track long-term progress in depth. The goal isn't a perfect streak. The goal is lasting change. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://shifthabitsapp.com/privacy-policy
