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.

HOW TO USE ADAGIO: Step 1: Type the reading from your cuff Step 2: Check in on the day Step 3: See the week in Journal Step 4: Send a PDF to your cardiologist If you need a file for clinic, Adagio is the log. Home readings and daily check-ins, then a PDF you can share. We are not another blood pressure coach. No account, no cloud, and no insights that claim to know what spiked you. You type the numbers. You take the PDF to your doctor. Questions: use the support email on this listing. NOTE: Adagio is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or measure blood pressure. It does not call emergency services. If a reading is extremely high, get emergency care yourself. Talk to a clinician. PRIVACY: https://tryadagio.com/privacy
