Completely free. No subscriptions. No paywalls. Link by Link is a simple, motivating way to stay consistent with the habits that matter most. Instead of tracking everything in one long list, you can create multiple chains for different goals, routines, and streaks, then grow each one link by link, day by day. Whether you want to stretch daily, avoid sweets, practice piano, read more, or build any other routine, the app gives each habit its own visual chain, its own settings, and its own progress. You can customize your chains, define goals, and keep your momentum going with a design that makes progress feel tangible. The experience is focused, tactile, and rewarding: every new link is a visible reminder that consistency compounds. No clutter, no pressure, and no unnecessary complexity. Just a clear, beautiful way to track your streaks, stay accountable, and keep showing up for the habits you want to build. New: You can now also set reminders, so you'll never forget to keep your streak alive ever again!
