Tempus
Read full descriptionHide full description
Tempus turns showing up into something you can see. Every day you complete a habit lands as a colored square on a grid - and watching that grid fill up becomes the reason you don't stop. BUILT AROUND ONE IDEA Consistency should be visible. Habits live on grids that grow with you - calendar months or a continuous view, your choice. Miss a day and you'll see the gap. Show up and you'll see that too. YOUR DAY, AT A GLANCE The Today ring closes as you complete what matters. Your calendar events wrap around a 24-hour dial, so the whole day fits in one look. Link your existing calendars - Apple, Google, or any ICS feed. 1% A DAY, COMPOUNDED Finish what you planned and the day pays about 1%. Miss it and you give a little back. Rest days cost nothing. One number tracks all of it from the day you started - and there is no limit on it. REMINDERS WITH A PERSONALITY Pick the voice that actually works on you: gentle encouragement, pure hype, or tough love. Or write three example phrases and let AI generate notifications that sound exactly like the voice in your head - at the times you choose. TEN ATMOSPHERES Light or dark, and the whole app follows. Ten palettes, from warm dusk to true black - pick the one you want to look at every day. A PERFECT MONTH FEELS LIKE THIS Tap any month to relive it, day by day. Green squares all the way down. YOU SHAPE WHAT COMES NEXT Request features and vote on what gets built. Tempus is small, independent, and built with care - your voice genuinely steers it. FREE AND PRO Free: up to 3 habits, 1 linked calendar, all core tracking. Pro: unlimited habits, unlimited calendars, custom AI reminder voices. Monthly or annual, with a free trial. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage anytime in your App Store settings.

Make today count with Habit Tracker: Planner Routine, a calm daily habit tracker for building routines, reaching goals, protecting focus time, and understanding your progress. Create habits for anything you want to build or quit. Track simple checkmarks, counts, durations, or custom values. Plan routines by day, category, time of day, start date, end date, and custom weekly schedules. See progress without digging. Your Today view shows daily goals, completion rate, category filters, and quick logging in one clean dashboard. Add notes after important completions so your habit history captures the reason behind the result, not just the checkmark. Works with Apple Health. Link supported habits and your progress fills in automatically from the Health app: steps, activity minutes, active energy, sleep, water, heart rate variability, and mindfulness minutes. Values you log in Habit Tracker can be saved back to Apple Health too. Health data only syncs after you grant permission, and sync is included for free. Turn consistency into insight with stats, streaks, heatmaps, and reports. Review weekly, monthly, and yearly progress, spot your best days, compare sleep and hydration trends, and connect mood logs with habit completion to learn what helps your days feel better. Protect your streaks on hard days. Every week of completed days banks a Streak Shield that is spent automatically to save a streak when you miss a day. Skip a day on purpose without losing momentum, or turn on Vacation Mode so nothing breaks while you are away. Get a nudge only when it matters. Smart streak risk alerts warn you in the evening before a streak ends, and an optional evening check-in lists whatever is still open for the day. Both stay quiet when everything is already done. Stay focused with a built-in focus timer. Run timed sessions, save deep work minutes automatically, and attach focus time to any duration habit. Keep habits close with Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. Check progress, quick-log routines, and keep weekly, monthly, and yearly report widgets visible throughout the day. Built for everyday use: - Build and quit habits - Apple Health sync for steps, sleep, water, mindfulness, and more - Daily, weekday, weekend, and custom schedules - Checkmark, count, duration, and value tracking - Categories for routine, health, fitness, mind, work, and more - Habit templates for walking, water, sleep, meditation, reading, workouts, deep work, and more - Streaks, totals, heatmaps, and completion rates - Streak Shields, Vacation Mode, and streak-safe skip days - Smart streak risk alerts and an evening check-in - Mood logging and daily rewards - Focus sessions with automatic habit logging - Time and location reminders - Widgets for today, progress, and reports - Theme colors, with alternate app icons available in Premium - App Lock, export, and import tools available in Premium Habit Tracker Premium is an optional one-time purchase that unlocks unlimited habits, extra reminders, advanced reports, all widget habits, App Lock, backup/import, and alternate app icons.
