Build your daily rhythm with IGN8 Habits: a simple, free habit tracker for iPhone that works offline. Open straight into your routine. No account, subscription, or onboarding carousel. Create the habits that matter to you and keep a clear record of the small things you do each day. YOUR DAY, IN ORDER Group habits into Morning, Anytime, and Evening. Choose every day or selected weekdays, and see what's due for the day you're viewing. CHECK OFF. COUNT UP. Complete a check-off habit with a tap, or track an amount toward a goal: glasses of water, pages read, minutes, steps, or times. Record amounts manually, adjust them when needed, and see partial progress as well as completed goals. PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE Review your week in a habit-by-day matrix. Explore 13 weeks of colored history, then open a habit's calendar for exact dates, progress, and current and best streaks. Correct past scheduled days when you need to. MAKE EACH HABIT YOURS Choose an icon and one of eight colors. Personalize your goals and schedule. Archive a habit to keep its history, or permanently delete it when you no longer want its records. OPTIONAL LOCAL REMINDERS Set a reminder time for your habit's scheduled weekdays. Notifications work without a server and require your permission. Focus and iOS settings can affect delivery, and a reminder may still arrive after you've completed a habit. SIMPLE AND OFFLINE Your habit records are stored locally. There are no ads, analytics SDKs, accounts, or app-managed cloud synchronization. Normal user-controlled iPhone backups may include app data. Deleting the app removes its local database; offloading preserves documents and data. This version does not include export/import or guaranteed recovery. A little each day adds up. Start with one habit. Support: https://ign8.app/habits/support/ Privacy: https://ign8.app/habits/privacy/
