LOSE WEIGHT BY WINNING EVERY DAY Most diet apps drown you in food databases and decimal points. Deficit Streak does one thing โ€” and does it better than anything else: it keeps you in your calorie deficit, day after day, until the results show up. Set your target. Check in once a day. Watch your streak grow. That's the whole game โ€” and it's the only thing that actually moves the scale. BUILD A STREAK YOU WON'T WANT TO BREAK One tap a day: hit your deficit, miss it, or take a rest day. Your streak grows with every win and becomes the daily motivation that keeps you consistent when willpower runs low. Earn streak freeze tokens to protect your progress on tough days. SEE YOUR FAT LOSS BEFORE IT HAPPENS Our projection engine turns your banked calories into real numbers: estimated fat lost, a projected goal date, and a clear "on track" or "behind" status. No guessing โ€” just a straight line to your goal. KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU STAND - Momentum score that reflects your last 30 days of consistency - Cumulative deficit charts that show your progress climbing - Weekly adherence rate and your strongest day of the week - A color-coded calendar heatmap of every check-in CELEBRATE THE MILESTONES Unlock achievements as you go โ€” 7 days, 30 days, 100 days, thousands of calories banked. Every milestone is proof that you're building the habit that lasts. WHY DEFICIT STREAK WORKS Weight loss isn't about one perfect day โ€” it's about showing up consistently. By focusing purely on adherence instead of obsessive logging, Deficit Streak removes the friction that makes people quit, and replaces it with momentum that makes them keep going. FEATURES - Daily one-tap deficit check-in - Current and longest streak tracking - Streak freeze protection - Fat-loss projection and goal-date estimate - 30-day momentum score - Progress charts and weekly insights - Calendar heatmap view - Achievements and milestones - Goal setup in kg or lb - Clean, modern design with light and dark themes - Available in English, Spanish, French, Italian, German and Portuguese Deficit Streak is a motivation and habit-tracking tool to support your weight management journey. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice. Consult a qualified professional before starting any diet or weight-loss program.

Grid

Your habits, as a grid you can actually see. Grid turns your habits into a contribution grid, like the one developers get on their code profile. One tap fills a square. Green builds up. Streaks become obvious, and so do the gaps. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add a habit. Three are free, and you do not need an account. 2. Tap the square when you do it. 3. Watch the grid fill in. That's the whole app. WHY A GRID AND NOT ANOTHER CHECKLIST A grid shows a whole year at once. You do not need to open a chart to know how the last three months went: the colour tells you in half a second. Missing a day stays visible instead of disappearing, which is exactly why people keep going. FREE, WITHOUT LIMITS - One-tap tracking and the full colour grid - Home-screen widgets, with no upgrade prompt - Streaks, stats, Perfect Days - 3 habits, 30 days of history, forever - Nothing to sign up for, no ads, no data selling, no social feed GRID PREMIUM - Unlimited habits - Full grid history, not just the last 30 days - Streak rescue and deeper streak analytics - Habit autopsy and load coaching: see which days and habits actually hold - AI-written weekly reviews - Clean share cards without a watermark - Custom colours and icons, CSV export - 7-day free trial, then $1.99 per month or the annual plan. Cancel anytime, and your grid stays yours. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE Choose which weekdays count toward a streak, so a gym habit on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays still builds one. Turn on vacation mode and a planned break stops counting against you. Set a reminder for the time you actually do the thing. NEVER LOSE YOUR GRID Sign in once and your grid syncs. New phone, reinstall, lost device: your squares come back with you. Grid Premium is an auto-renewing subscription charged to your store account and can be cancelled any time in your store settings. Prices vary by region.
