About

Beat

Features
Read full description

Beat is a habit tracker that actually understands you. Built around Apple Intelligence, Beat learns the rhythm of your days and gives you private, personal coaching β€” without ever sending your habits off your iPhone. Every suggestion, summary, and insight is generated on-device by the same models that power Apple Intelligence. Your data stays where it belongs: with you. WHAT MAKES BEAT DIFFERENT β€’ On-device AI coaching. Beat notices the days you're most consistent, the times that tend to slip, and the anchors that keep you on track β€” then suggests tiny adjustments that fit your real life. β€’ Weekly recaps, written for you. Every Sunday, Beat writes a short, plain-language summary of your week: what worked, what didn't, and one specific thing to try next. β€’ Private by design. No accounts. No cloud. No analytics. Your habits are stored on your iPhone and synced only via your iCloud, end-to-end encrypted by Apple. β€’ Designed for iOS. Built in SwiftUI with widgets, Live Activities, Shortcuts, and a Lock Screen complication so you can check in with a glance. β€’ Beautiful and fast. A playful, colorful interface that makes showing up feel good β€” without ever getting in your way. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add the habits you care about. Pick a color, an icon, and how often you want to do them. 2. Tap once a day to mark them done. Beat tracks your streaks, your completion rate, and your patterns β€” quietly, in the background. 3. Let Beat coach you. When the AI sees something useful, it offers a gentle suggestion you can take or ignore. Nothing is pushed. PRIVACY YOU CAN ACTUALLY VERIFY Beat does not have a server. There is no Beat account. Nothing about your habits is ever transmitted off your iPhone except the optional iCloud sync that Apple encrypts for you. The AI runs locally, every time. We can't see your data because we built Beat so we never could. WIDGETS, LIVE ACTIVITIES, AND MORE β€’ Home Screen widgets in three sizes β€’ Lock Screen complications β€’ Live Activity for in-progress habits β€’ Shortcuts and App Intents so you can automate check-ins β€’ Apple Watch companion (coming soon) REQUIREMENTS β€’ iPhone with iOS 26 or later β€’ Apple Intelligence-capable device for AI features (iPhone 15 Pro and later; everything else works without AI) TRY IT FREE FOR 7 DAYS Beat is a one-time $4.99 purchase. Tap "Get" to install free for 7 days β€” full app, no limits, no trial mode. If you keep using Beat after day 7, you're charged once and the app is yours forever. No subscription. No renewal. No tricks. Cancel any time before day 7 in Settings β†’ Subscriptions. Start the habit. Keep the rhythm.
