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.

Stop keeping a separate app for every small thing you need. Whittle is one home for every app that matters the most — bring one in, or build one — and it installs, hosts, and launches it right on your phone, fully offline. Already have an HTML file or a zipped web app? Import it — Whittle hosts it locally and launches it in its own sandboxed window: its own icon, its own storage, its own home-screen shortcut. Don't have one yet? Describe what you want, and Whittle writes a carefully engineered prompt for the AI app you already use. Paste the result back and it imports the same way. HOW IT WORKS 1. Bring one in, or describe one. Import an HTML file or a .zip bundle, or pick a starter idea and let Whittle draft the prompt. 2. Hand it to your AI, if you're creating one. Whittle shares the prompt to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot or Poe — or copy it anywhere you like. 3. Bring it back. Paste the HTML, or use the one-tap deep link to import straight from your clipboard. 4. It runs. Whittle hosts it locally and launches it full screen, completely offline. 5. Fix it. "Debug with AI" hands the app's own source back to a model for repair, then updates your installed copy. WHAT YOU GET • Offline by default — installed apps run from on-device storage with no server and no connection. • A real library — every app you bring in or create, with size and last-opened details, plus a demo app to start from. • Isolated storage — each app gets its own private data, so they never clobber one another. • Shortcuts — launch any app with a single tap, including from Siri. • Reminders — apps can schedule notifications that deep-link straight back into them. • Preview — check an app before committing to install. Whittle does not run the AI itself. It works with the AI apps you already have installed, so nothing you write is sent anywhere by Whittle.
