HabitForge is built around momentum: every completed habit earns XP, grows your streak, unlocks achievements, and levels you up from Ember to Legendary Forger. Progress you can see is progress you keep. WHAT YOU GET - Daily habit tracking with streaks that show your momentum at a glance - An XP and leveling system that turns consistency into visible rewards - Custom reminders so no habit slips through the cracks - A focus routine mode that walks you through today's habits one by one - Mood logging plus a private journal and weekly review to see the full picture - Stats with a Year in Pixels view, monthly heatmaps, and unlockable achievements PERFECT FOR - Anyone tired of starting over on the same habit every month - Gym-goers and self-improvers who want streaks to keep them honest - Students and remote workers building study or deep-work routines - People who track mood and journaling alongside their daily goals WHY NOT JUST USE A CHECKLIST?
