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.

The reader is built for quick, repeatable reading sprints: - One-word-at-a-time display with adjustable words per minute - Fixed eye anchor and optional bold/color focus - Adaptive pauses for punctuation and longer words - Built-in browser and favorite sources - Local library, reading stats, and saved profiles - Image OCR and PDF text import Daily reading allowances are clear and visible in Settings.
