NudgeBit tracks your habits without punishing you for being human. No streak counters. No red X's. No "you broke your chain" notifications. Just a gentle momentum score that rises when you show up β and barely dips when you rest. WHY NUDGEBIT IS DIFFERENT Most habit trackers celebrate your 30-day streak β then reset you to zero when you miss one day. That cycle of guilt is why most people quit within two weeks. NudgeBit replaces streaks with momentum: a rolling 7-day window that shows how you're doing THIS week. Miss a day? Your momentum dips from 86% to 71%. Not to zero. Never to zero. REST DAYS ARE A FEATURE NudgeBit is the only habit tracker with a Rest button right next to Done. Because sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is take a day off β and that shouldn't count against you. β’ Tap Done: momentum goes up β’ Tap Rest: momentum stays the same β’ Do nothing: momentum dips slightly No punishment. No drama. Just honest progress. START WITH ONE THING Other trackers let you add 15 habits on day one. Then you quit all 15 by day five. NudgeBit starts you with one habit. Just one. When your momentum stays strong, you can add another. Focus, not overload. DESIGNED TO FEEL CALM β’ Momentum Ring: a beautiful green glow that grows with your consistency β’ 30-Day Heatmap: soft tiles instead of harsh grids. Green for done, blue for rest, gray for missed. No red. Ever. β’ Gentle Phrases: "Every step matters" when you're building up, "This is who you are now" when you're thriving β’ Formation Tracker: see your 40-day journey from first step to rooted habit FREE. ACTUALLY FREE. No subscription. No ads. No account required. Your data stays on your device. Works offline. That's it. Start with one habit. Build momentum. Rest when you need to.

Pause is the button you press the moment a sugar craving hits. A craving is a wave: it peaks in 3β5 minutes and fades in 15. Pause gives you one clear thing to do for the next 60β120 seconds and shows you the wave passing. β’ One tap when it hits. Rate the urge 0β10, get a technique, rate again. β’ Ten short techniques: 4-7-8 breathing, Catch the color, a glass of water, a letter to yourself, micro-movement, body scan, postpone, and more. β’ It learns what works for you. Every session updates a personal ranking: which technique lowers your craving the most, at which time of day, for which trigger. β’ No shame. A slip is data, not a failure. Your resisted count never resets. β’ Insights: a craving map by weekday and time, your top triggers, weekly trends. β’ Widgets, Lock Screen, Live Activity for the 15-minute wait, Siri and the Action Button. β’ Everything stays on your phone. No account, no cloud. Pause does not count calories or grams of sugar, does not set weight goals and is not a medical tool. Pause Pro (yearly, 3-day free trial): all techniques and your own, insights and patterns, challenges, full history, CSV export, alternate icons.
