Storey is a habit tracker built around weekly goals. Choose how many days a week you want to exercise, read, meditate or keep any habit, and build a city from your progress. Set a goal from 1 to 7 days a week: exercise 3 days, read 4 days, or meditate 5 days. You choose which days to complete it. Weeks run Sunday to Saturday. Every week you meet a habit's goal adds a permanent floor to its building. Miss a day or a week? The floors you've earned stay. Because your habits deserve more than checkmarks. In Storey, every habit is a building. Keep the habit today and you lay a brick — a lit window in tonight's skyline. Hit your weekly goal and the building tops out: a whole new story rises, permanently. Miss a week and nothing is torn down; your city simply waits for you to build again. Over months, your consistency becomes a place. A street of towers, each one the true record of something you kept doing. BUILD YOUR CITY • Add the habits you want to keep — each one breaks ground as a new tower • Record completed days; every kept day lights a window and every goal-met week adds a floor • A living sky over your skyline: real weather, moon phases, fireworks on big wins SEE YOUR WEEKLY PROGRESS • Streak runs light up entire buildings • Follow weekly goals, goal-met streaks and momentum at a glance in Stats • Calendar views that show every kept day, month by month STAY ON TRACK • Smart optional reminders that skip the nag when you've already built today • A weekly recap of what went up • Milestones for the streaks worth celebrating MAKE IT YOURS • Start with eight building styles and unlock more as your tallest tower grows • Explore your building collection, colors and facade patterns — every tower wears the habit it stands for GO FURTHER WITH STOREY PRO • Unlimited habits — grow your street without limits • Every building style unlocked immediately • All twenty-seven colors, including fifteen animated premium finishes • The Building Studio: reshape any tower — silhouettes, crowns, window cuts, story pitch, pinned ornaments.
