TwentyOne is a calm, no-frills habit tracker built around one idea: small steps done daily beat perfect plans. Pick one routine. Check it in a single tap. Watch your streak grow, day by day. No badges, no XP, no shame — just a quiet record of you showing up.

There is one habit at the center, one tap to mark the day, and a clean grid that quietly fills in. Built for people who would rather close the app and live their day than stare at charts. — TIPS — TwentyOne is free with no subscriptions and no premium tier. If the app helped you, you can leave the developer a small one-time tip — a cup of coffee — directly inside the app. Tips are entirely optional. — PRIVACY — Your habits are stored locally on your device. No accounts, no analytics, no data sold. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://ie.pustotin.com/#legal

Vane is a calm, no-account, privacy-first habit tracker built around two simple ideas: log your day, watch your progress. No leaderboards. No social feed. No accounts. Just you and the habits you care about. Whether you want to drink more water, work out, read every night, meditate, or finally start journaling, Vane gives you a clean daily dashboard and beautiful statistics that make showing up feel rewarding. FEATURES DAILY & WEEKLY HABITS Track habits that should happen every day, or X times per week (e.g. "Run 3x/week"). Each habit can be a simple check-off or a counter with a target value. DAILY DASHBOARD Your day at a glance. Log progress, edit any day, all in one place. CALENDAR A month-at-a-glance view for each habit, color-coded by completion. LAST 4 WEEKS A pretty visualization of your consistency across the past month, with a percentage so you know exactly how you're doing. STREAKS Keep your fire alive, counted strictly on consecutive successful days. No fudge factor. FOCUS TIMER Built-in Pomodoro timer for habits that need dedicated time, like meditation, study, or deep work. Rings even when the app is in the background.
