It's not your fault your habits don't stick. It's the app's fault. Miss just one day and a 100-day streak resets to zero. Traveling? Sick? Too bad. That's how every other habit app works. Stral is different. โ Streak Recovery -- Break it, then bring it back If your streak breaks, just start again the next day and you'll enter "recovery mode." Complete a short recovery period and your full streak is restored. No more starting over from zero. โ Habit Lifecycle -- Take a break without losing progress Pause: Set a pause period for travel or illness. Your streak stays safe. Exclusion days: Need to skip just today? No problem. It won't count against you. End & Resume: Archive completed habits. Your records are kept forever. Features no other habit app offers. Only in Stral. โ All of this is free Up to 6 habits 4 tracking modes (Check / Negative / Count / Timer) Streak recovery Habit lifecycle management (Pause / Exclusion days / End / Resume) Apple Health auto-tracking (Steps, Exercise, Calories, Water, Sleep, Weight, Mindfulness, and 11 categories total) Apple Watch support Home screen widget iCloud sync Smart notifications 3 themes Features that other apps charge for are completely free in Stral. โ 4 modes for any habit Check: Did you read? Floss? Journal? One tap to record. Negative: Quit smoking, no drinking, skip the snacks. Days you didn't do it build your streak. Count: 8 glasses of water, 50 push-ups. Tap +1, auto-complete at your target. Timer: 10 min meditation, 15 min stretching. Built-in countdown timer. Works in the background. โ Automatic Apple Health integration Steps, exercise minutes, calories burned, water intake, sleep, weight, mindfulness, workouts, walking distance, swimming distance, stand hours. 11 categories of data are read automatically to complete your habits.

Flyback
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your whole day, in one number. Flyback reads the steps your iPhone is already recording and puts them on a screen worth opening: one huge number, a ring that glows as you close in, and the week you're having, all in a glance. NOTHING TO SET UP Your steps are already in Apple Health. Flyback opens with your history in place: today's count, your streak, your best day ever. Nothing to log, no timer to start, no account to make. WATCH YOUR WEEK TAKE SHAPE Every bar is coded to your goal, so a strong week looks strong before you've read a single number. A dashed goal line runs across the chart, with your daily average, your best day, and how you're tracking against last week sitting right above it. A STREAK YOU ACTUALLY EARN Hit your goal, keep the flame. Miss a day and you can spend a repair token to restore it, and the grid shows exactly which days you missed and which you repaired. A GOAL THAT MOVES WITH YOU Set 10,000 and forget it, or switch on adaptive goals and let Flyback tune the target to your recent trends. It grows as you do and eases off on lighter weeks. Weekly steps, distance, exercise minutes, floors and calories can each carry their own target. BADGES WORTH CHASING 18 badges from bronze to gold, plus a fresh challenge every month. First 10k. Power Hour. 100k Week. Early Bird. EVERY PERSONAL BEST, KEPT Best day, best week, longest streak, most floors, fastest pace, longest walk. Tracked automatically, dated, and waiting for you to beat them. TRACK A WALK, START TO FINISH Tap once for live distance, pace, cadence and calories, on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. It runs on your iPhone's motion chip instead of GPS, so it won't drain your battery or ask for your location. ON YOUR WRIST AND YOUR HOME SCREEN Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. An Apple Watch app and complications. YOUR STEPS STAY ON YOUR IPHONE No account. No sign-up. Flyback reads your Health data on your device and never sends it anywhere. No ads, nothing sold.
