Build habits the calm way — no streaks to lose. Loam is a private habit tracker where every habit you complete tends a small sprout. It grows leaf by leaf, and it only ever grows. Miss a day and nothing wilts, nothing resets. You simply tend it again when you're ready. No accounts. No ads. No data collection. Everything stays on your device. A SPROUT, NOT A STREAK - Each habit you complete grows your sprout a little more. - No streak counter, no flames, no "you broke it." - A gentle status — not yet, almost, tended — instead of grades or scores. CHECKS ITSELF OFF WITH APPLE HEALTH - Link a habit to steps, workouts, mindful minutes, or sleep, and it completes on its own when Health logs a match. - Health data is read-only and never leaves your device. Loam never writes to Apple Health. ON YOUR WRIST - Tend habits from Apple Watch, with a complication that keeps today one glance away. - Syncs directly with your iPhone — no cloud, no account. A GENTLE LOOK AHEAD - An on-device forecast shows what might slip tomorrow and offers one gentle nudge. - "Your rhythm" shows the days you've been steadiest — no heatmaps, no grades. CALM REMINDERS AND WIDGETS - Set a reminder time for each habit. Habits you do more than once a day get nudges spaced through the day. - Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets show today's progress at a glance. - All notifications are local — no internet required. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No sign-up, no email, no analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. - Your habits are stored on your device with Apple's SwiftData. We can't see them — ever. - The only network activity is Apple's StoreKit, for optional tips. FREE TO USE Track up to five habits with every feature above — no paywall, no ads. If Loam helps you, you can leave an optional one-time tip to support development. Made by one developer who believes habit tracking should feel calm, private, and kind.
FourthTri

The weeks after birth are about you too. FourthTri is a private, informational companion for your own postpartum recovery: your healing, your mood, and your own feeding notes, with red-flag reminders always close and a clear summary ready for your six-week visit. What FourthTri does: - A healing log for bleeding, pain on a 0 to 10 scale, and incision or perineal comfort, with your recovery day and week always in view. - A gentle mood check-in: one tap for your sense of the day plus a short self-authored reflection. It is supportive and informational, never a screening test or a score. - Red-flag reminders, always free: the signs that mean you should reach out, each with plain-language seek-care guidance and emergency routing. - The Six-Week Visit Summary: a clear, free PDF of what you logged and what is worth raising, ready to share with your provider. - The full 12-week recovery timeline with Pro: your healing against typical postpartum bands, with your mood trend overlaid. - A maternal feeding and pumping log with Pro that is about you, not the baby: latch pain, engorgement, nipple healing, supply, and your own pump output. FourthTri does not track baby intake, diapers, or baby sleep. - An Apple Watch app for a one-tap mood and quick logging from your wrist, a watch-face complication, and a Home and Lock Screen widget with your recovery day and phase. - One gentle daily reminder to check in, if you want it. Never pushy. - A gentler-wording option, with less focus on the baby, for anyone whose recovery is tender. - Private by design: your log lives on your device and in your personal iCloud, synced across your devices, with an optional Face ID lock. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking. Free and Pro: - Free: the healing log, the mood check-in, every red-flag reminder, and the Six-Week Visit Summary. Safety is never paywalled. - Pro (Lifetime): the full 12-week recovery timeline, the maternal feeding and pumping log, trend analytics, and your complete history. One payment, yours forever, no subscription. Important: FourthTri is an informational companion. It is not medical care, not a diagnosis, and not a substitute for your provider. Its ranges and reflections show what you logged, framed by reputable on-screen cited sources (ACOG, Postpartum Support International, NHS), and when something looks worth mentioning it reminds you to talk with your provider. In an emergency, always call your local emergency number.
