Most habit trackers treat your habits as binary: check a box, increment a streak. But your life isnβt a series of isolated checkboxes. A morning run makes meditation easier; late-night doomscrolling conflicts with reading before bed. Baseline is a sophisticated, system-oriented habit tracker that treats your habits as an interconnected ecosystem. By mapping habit relationships, logging emotional feedback loops, and tracking progress phases, Baseline helps you build a resilient routine and project your long-term trajectory. SYSTEM-ORIENTED HABIT TRACKING - Four Habit Dynamics: Track habits you want to Start, Stop, Maintain, or Replace. - Habit Synergies: Map relationships between your habits. Define which habits Support, Conflict with, or Require one another to see how your behaviors influence each other. - Phase Lifecycle: Watch your habits graduate through a structured lifecycle from Forming, to Established, to Maintained, and ultimately Completed. DETERMINISTIC ANALYTICS & NARRATIVE AUDITS - Today View: Log habits quickly, view 7-day visual sparkline heatmaps, check streaks, and record your mood on a 5-point scale. - Reviews: Deep-dive into weekly, monthly, and annual charts. Analyze completion rates, mood trends, synergy co-occurrences, and habit type distributions. - Life Audit: Read a monthly narrative timeline automatically generated from your logged activity, mood milestones, and reflections. Completely computed locallyβno external servers or AI processing required. AI-POWERED TOOLS - Future Self: Generate speculative, vivid second-person projections of where your current habits are likely leading you in 3 months, 1 year, or 3 years. - Generate from Goal: Enter a natural-language goal (e.g., "prepare for a half marathon") and draft a custom habit stack ready to import. - Extract from Content: Paste text or upload a PDF to extract habit stacks from your favorite articles or books. OFFLINE-FIRST & PRIVACY BY DESIGN - No Accounts Required: No signup, no login, and no passwords. Start tracking instantly. - Local Storage: All habit logs, mood scores, and reflections are saved locally on your device. Your personal data never leaves your phone. - Opt-In Sharing: Publishing and sharing habit stacks with friends or followers is completely opt-in. Shared stacks contain only template configurationsβnever your private logging history. Set your baseline today and build a lifestyle system that lasts.
