Most habit trackers turn your life into a game. Discipline doesn't. Viceless is a quiet, focused habit tracker for people who want consistency without the noise. No confetti. No leaderboards. No "save your streak" guilt-trips. Just a clear daily ritual: open the app, mark what you did, build the streak. Repeat. The interface is black and white on purpose. The design stays out of your way. Your effort is the system. ——— HABITS, AND THE ONE-OFF THINGS TOO Habits are the daily work. Tasks are everything else — the call you keep putting off, the bill due Friday, the thing you promised yourself you would handle this week. Write a task on a day, set the time you want to be reminded, and it finds you then. Tasks live on their own calendar, apart from your habits, and they never touch your streak. Checking one off frees the slot for the next one. ——— WHAT YOU GET — FREE • Track 2 habits — both of them in your own words, or pick from the library • 2 tasks at a time, each with its own reminder • Daily streak tracking with a week summary • Trend charts (weekly and monthly) • A daily reminder at 3 PM • Weekly journal — one reflection per week • Fix yesterday when life got in the way WHAT YOU UNLOCK WITH PRO • Unlimited habits, as many in your own words as you like • Up to 10 tasks at a time, each scheduled and reminded • Daily journal, with prompts you can rewrite • Full analytics: best day, weakest day, perfect days, monthly breakdown, day-of-week insights • Catch Up — fix any day of the last week, not just yesterday • Home screen widget — your streak and today's progress, always visible • Custom notification schedule — up to 3 reminders a day, your times, your words • Yearly trend view ——— DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE SERIOUS If you've tried other habit trackers and bounced off them because they felt like games, this one is different. There are no streak freezes. No social feeds. No friend graphs. The app does one thing, very well, and gets out of the way. Your streak earns a discipline badge as it grows — Kindled, Ember, Forged, Hardened, Viceless. Quiet marks of progress, not trophies. PRICING Pro is $44.99 per year — that works out to $3.75 per month, 46% less than paying month to month. Pro is also available for $6.99 per month. Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can cancel or manage your subscription anytime in Apple ID Settings. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. PRIVACY We don't sell your data, and nothing you write is used for advertising. Your habits, tasks and journal entries are encrypted in transit and stored securely, and they are never shared with anyone. We do measure which ads bring people to the app, at the level of the device and the install — never at the level of what you track. The app does not ask to follow you across other apps and websites.

Pebbles

Every day you show up, you place a stone. Miss a day and the stone waits beside the stack — nothing topples. Pebbles is a tiny habit tracker for up to three daily practices. Tap once and the day is held. Miss a day and it stays open until tomorrow — tap it back in and your streak never knows. Away for a week? Mark it, and the chain holds. No streak freezes to earn. Nothing to buy back. BUILT FOR BAD WEEKS • A missed day waits for you — one tap makes it up, until it quietly locks • Away for a trip, an illness or a hard week? Mark those days away — the chain keeps, nothing is added • The two-minute rule, built in: one paragraph, one push-up — a day held • A calm bell at 2:00 tells you the day is banked, even from your pocket • Mark a day as missed on purpose — Pebbles respects the difference SMALL ON PURPOSE • Up to three practices, ever — the cap that keeps hard days possible • One tap to hold the day, one tap to undo; no forms, no numbers to log • No confetti, no XP, no guilt. The reward is the act of showing up. EVERYWHERE YOUR DAY IS • Check in from your Home Screen widget without opening the app • Time a session from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • A quiet daily reminder, and a nudge only when a streak is at stake • Full dark mode A QUIET RECORD • Your streak, longest run, total practice, average sit, and the time of day you usually show up • Practices can rest — every held day stays yours, bring them back anytime • Backed up to iCloud automatically. No account. No ads. No tracking. The science, honestly: habits don't form in 21 days. In UCL's habit-formation study they took about 66 on average — gains early, and a missed day didn't set people back. Pebbles is built for exactly that. Start with one practice.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pebbles at none against Viceless's 2. Viceless's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
