Most days is enough. Not every day. Set a weekly goal like 4 out of 7 days. Hit it most days, rest when you need to. Your progress never resets to zero. mostly is enough. Other habit apps count consecutive days — miss one and the 90-day count goes to zero. Research shows the all-or-nothing model creates anxiety and guilt, the opposite of what builds habits. mostly replaces counters with weekly targets. No punishment for being human. HOW IT WORKS • Set a weekly target from 1 to 7 days for each habit (4/7 by default) • Check in each day with a single tap • See "2 more to go" on the way and "Goal reached" when you arrive. Week over? "See you next week" • Each week is a fresh start. Last week was tough? Clean slate. ENCOURAGEMENT OVER PUNISHMENT • No counters. No resets. No shame. • Rest days are part of the plan, not something to feel bad about • Quiet encouragement when things get tough • Progress matters more than perfection • Great for ADHD, anxiety, or anyone who wants a gentler approach GREAT FOR ANY HABIT • Morning routine, sleep, water, healthier eating • Gym, running, yoga, walking • Meditation, reading, journaling, studying • Quitting smoking, skincare, language learning SIMPLE & PRIVATE • Clean interface, no gamification, no social features • Your data stays on your device, with optional iCloud sync • Export your data anytime as JSON Lally et al. (2010) found that habit formation takes about 66 days on average, and missing occasional days doesn't derail the process. Consistency over time beats daily perfection. mostly is enough.
