Kusursuz değil, sürekli ol. Upkept, alışkanlıklarını sakin ve yargısız takip etmen için tasarlandı. Aksayan bir gün alarm ya da suçluluk sebebi değil; istersen kısa bir notla, sessizce kaydedilir. Önemli olan kusursuz bir seri değil, geri dönmen. Dolan rakam Bugünün sayısı, işaretledikçe katman katman doluyor. Yaptığın, kısmen yaptığın ve dinlendiğin her şey rakamda görünür. Zahmetsiz kayıt • Yaptıysan basılı tut, rakam yükselsin • Kısmen, Dinlendim ya da Yapamadım için tek dokunuş yeter • Miktarlı hedefler: 8 bardak su, 20 sayfa, 30 dakika • Aksayan güne istersen bir sebep ekle; bir hafta sonra neyin seni durdurduğunu görürsün Geçmişine üç pencere • Ay: her günün ne kadar dolduğunu tek bakışta gör • Grid: alışkanlıklarını yan yana, gün gün karşılaştır • Sayılar: süreklilik yüzdesi ve nazik istatistikler, baskı yok Her yerde • Ana ekran widget'ı: günün sayısı uygulamayı açmadan önünde • iPhone ve iPad için ayrı düzen; iPad'de geniş, iki sütunlu görünüm • Açık ve koyu tema, farklı vurgu renkleri Gizlilik önce gelir • Hesap yok, giriş yok, reklam yok, takip yok • Verilerin cihazında kalır, internetsiz çalışır • İstersen cihazların arasında anonim, girişsiz senkron Kusursuzluğu değil, devamlılığı kutlar. Her seri bir gün önce sıfırdı.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Upkept at none against Ink's 3. Upkept also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
