Betterment
Read full descriptionHide full description
Build the habits that build you. Break the ones that don't. Betterment is a premium, minimalist habit tracker for iOS - built around a single idea: your phone should disappear and your discipline should take over. Pure monochrome. No gradients. No noise. Just rings, streaks, and silence. BUILD & BREAK Most habit apps only track what you want to do more of. Betterment is built for both sides of the coin: - BUILD: Track good habits with solid progress rings. Streaks extend every consecutive day. - BREAK: Track the habits you're quitting with dashed rings and a "days clean" counter. One mindful tap confirms a relapse; your clock resets with intention, not shame. APPLE HEALTH AUTO-COMPLETE Habits tied to Apple Health complete themselves the moment you hit your goal: - Walk 10K Steps: step count - Hydrate: water intake - Strength: active calories burned - Meditate: mindful minutes - Workout: workout duration - Sleep: sleep hours No manual logging. No tap-and-forget. Your iPhone already knows. BUILT FOR THE LONG GAME - Tap to complete. Long-press for full stats. - 12-week heatmap per habit - 30-day completion line chart - Daily notes and mood tracking on every completion - AI-powered insights that actually say something useful - Per-habit reminders with custom times - Curated starter packs: Foundation, Mind & Body, Digital Detox, Clean Slate - 17 science-backed starter habits (cold showers, sun gazing, breathwork, journaling, gratitude, deep reading, and more) DESIGNED FOR FOCUS The "Disciplined Void" design system is pure black-and-white. The whole app inverts automatically with your iOS appearance setting. SF Rounded typography. Generous negative space. No color to decode, no distractions to filter - just the rings that matter today. WIDGETS & WATCH - Interactive iOS Home Screen widgets: complete habits without opening the app - Apple Watch complications for Circular and Modular faces - iPhone and Watch sync via Watch Connectivity - Small and medium widget sizes with live progress rings YOUR DATA, YOUR DEVICE - iCloud Sync: every device stays in step via your private iCloud - Zero analytics SDKs. No tracking. No accounts. - No ads. No third-party servers. No data leaves your device except via Apple's own iCloud, which we can't see either. ONE-TIME PURCHASE No subscription. No paywall. No "Pro" tier holding features hostage. Buy once. Get everything. Forever. "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." - Will Durant Start the streak.
