Struggling to stick with habits? You are not lazy -- your brain just needs a different approach. PopHabit is the habit tracker built specifically for ADHD brains. No guilt trips, no broken streaks, no overwhelming dashboards. Just one satisfying tap to mark your habit done and move on with your day. WHY POPHABIT WORKS FOR ADHD BRAINS Traditional habit trackers rely on streaks and pressure. Miss one day and it feels like failure. PopHabit takes a completely different approach: we celebrate completion rates, not perfection. ONE-TAP POP Complete any habit with a single tap. A satisfying pop animation and sound give your brain the instant dopamine hit it craves. No menus, no friction, no decision fatigue. ZERO-GUILT TRACKING No streaks to break. No shame for missing a day. Instead, PopHabit shows your completion rate with encouraging letter grades from F to SSS. Even a 35% completion rate earns a C grade -- because showing up matters more than being perfect. XP AND LEVEL UP SYSTEM Every pop earns XP. Level up with celebration animations and unlock fun titles. This positive reinforcement loop keeps you coming back without relying on fear of losing a streak. BUILT FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY THINK - Quick-add habits from templates or create your own - Flexible frequency: daily, weekdays, weekends, weekly, or custom days - Smart reminders that work with your schedule, not against it - Minimal interface that reduces cognitive overload - Dark mode by default -- easier on your eyes FREE FEATURES - Track up to 5 habits - Pop animation and sound effects - Completion rate tracking with grades - XP and level system - 6 basic habit templates - 1 daily reminder - Small home screen widget POP UPGRADE (PRO) - Unlimited habits - All 20+ habit templates - Unlimited reminders - Medium home screen widget - Apple Watch app - CloudKit sync across devices - Live Activity support - Data export (CSV, JSON, PDF) - Custom pop sounds - Advanced statistics - Achievement system Choose your plan: - Monthly: $2.99/month - Yearly: $19.99/year (save 44%) - Lifetime: $39.99 one-time payment SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION: - Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. - Subscription automatically renews unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. - You can manage and cancel your subscriptions by going to your account settings on the App Store after purchase. - Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription.
