You've tried habit apps before. You built a streak, missed one day, and felt worse than before you started. Sproubit is different. --- BUILT FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY LIVE --- Sproubit replaces stressful streak counters with a Consistency Score - a percentage that shows how often you showed up, not whether you broke a chain. Missing a day doesn't reset your progress to zero. It just becomes part of your honest story. Built-In Rest Days: Mark any day as an intentional rest and it won't count against you. Because sometimes, rest is exactly what you need to succeed. Flexible Frequency: Set goals like "4 times this week" instead of rigid daily requirements. Life doesn't fit a perfect schedule, and your habits shouldn't have to either. AI Suggestions: Get personalized habit ideas and gentle adjustments based on your real tracking patterns. Sproubit learns how you actually show up — then helps you build habits that fit your life, not fight it. --- DESIGNED FOR ADHD & ANXIETY --- Sproubit treats you like a supportive friend, not a productivity drill sergeant. No red text, no "you failed" notifications, and absolutely no guilt. Just quiet encouragement and honest tracking. --- 100% PRIVATE: YOUR DATA, YOUR DEVICE --- No account required. No servers. No tracking. Everything lives entirely on your device, private by design. Export your data anytime - it's completely yours. --- WHAT'S INCLUDED FOR FREE --- Track up to 3 habits Full "Today" view with rest day support Current month calendar Home screen widget Gentle daily reminders Compassion messages for when you need them most Easy data export --- PREMIUM: $4.99 ONCE, YOURS FOREVER --- Unlimited habit tracking Full Insights: view patterns, peak days, rest patterns, mood patterns 12 months of calendar history Custom rest day limits All future features included automatically No subscriptions. One payment. Forever. --- BUILT BY SOMEONE WHO NEEDED THIS --- Sproubit was built by an independent developer who was tired of feeling guilty every time an app showed a broken streak. If you've ever deleted a habit tracker out of shame, this was made for you.

Every habit app starts the same way. You build a streak. Then life gets heavy, and the app shows you a broken streak or a zero. You feel like you failed. You stop opening it. That's not you. That's an app that wasn't built for your brain. Anchor is different. Anchor is a daily routine companion built specifically for ADHD brains. There are no streaks to break. Instead, every day you show up adds a link to your chain. Miss a day? The chain adds a softer, quieter link and keeps growing. Nothing resets to zero. Your chain never breaks - not ever. Because missing days isn't a failure. It's ADHD. YOUR COMPANION Anchor includes an on-device AI companion that checks in with you, helps you shrink an overwhelming day down to just one routine, and writes you a personal weekly letter reading your real week back to you with kindness. Unlike other apps, Anchor's AI runs entirely on your iPhone using Apple Intelligence. Nothing - your routines, your patterns, your letters - is ever sent anywhere. No account. No cloud. No subscription required to start. WHAT ANCHOR DOES Your chain never breaks: every day you show up adds a link. Miss a day, and a softer link is added. Nothing ever resets to zero. On-device AI companion: warm morning check-ins based on your real routines. Not a generic "Great job!" Your real week. Hard Day Mode: feeling overwhelmed? Anchor shows only your most important routine and hides the rest. One thing. That's enough. Daily check-in: tell your companion what kind of day you're having. It adjusts what it shows you and how it talks to you. Link your routines: connect each routine to something you already do ("After my morning coffee: Morning meds"). This method can double follow-through for ADHD brains. Weekly personal letter: once a week, your companion writes you a short letter about your week. Not generic encouragement. Your stats, your patterns, your wins. Alexa announcements (Pro): phone notifications are easy to ignore. Anchor can announce your routines on any Alexa in your home. Morning, afternoon, and evening blocks: see only what you need right now. Medication reminders: on hard days, medication routines are automatically prioritized. No red states. No guilt. No broken streaks. FREE FOREVER Start with up to 3 routines. Your chain and all your history are yours forever - no expiry, no nag screens, no data held hostage. Show up consistently and Anchor unlocks more routine slots automatically - no purchase required. ANCHOR PRO (OPTIONAL) Pro adds a companion that learns you over time - your specific routines, your patterns across weeks, which days run harder, what's becoming automatic. After a few weeks it starts noticing things: "Tuesdays look harder for you - that's just data, not a verdict." Pro includes: Unlimited routines Companion memory - learns your patterns week over week Weekly personal letter, written about your real week "Too much today?" - shrink your day to one routine Alexa announcements - hear your routines spoken aloud in your home, not just on your phone Everything runs on your phone. Nothing sent anywhere. Pro is $2.99/month or $24.99 once - yours forever, no recurring charge. PRIVACY Everything stays on your phone. There is no Anchor account, no server, no analytics. When you delete the app, everything goes with it. Anchor's AI uses Apple Intelligence - running entirely on your device, not ours. The AI companion requires a device that supports Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro or later). On every other iPhone, the chain, routines, and reminders work beautifully - nothing is greyed out or locked. BUILT FOR YOU Anchor was built for adults with ADHD who've tried every habit app and stopped using them. If the app ever made you feel worse about yourself, this is what we built instead. No shame. No broken chains. Terms of Use: https://workstreamapps.com/anchor/terms
