My Tracker is a calm, calendar-first habit tracker with mood and journal — completely free, with no ads, no subscriptions, no account, and all your data stored only on your iPhone. See when you did it - Your habits as color-coded dots on a real monthly calendar. - Tap a habit and every day you did it lights up, month after month. - Tap a mood too — like Workout + a great mood — and see how your habits and your mood line up. Habits, organized your way - Add a short note to each habit: why it matters, or what counts. - Sort habits into groups like "Body" and "Mind". - Weekly goals, current and best streaks, and a three-week history at a glance. - Archive a habit you're pausing — its history stays, and you can bring it back any time. Your day in one place - Check off habits, pick a mood in one tap, and write a line about your day. - A journal of your days to remember not only what you did, but how you felt. - Stats with streaks, a 90-day and full-year heatmap, and yearly totals. Widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen - A Today widget to check off habits without opening the app. - A Habit Grid widget showing your recent weeks for one habit or all of them. - Lock Screen widgets with today's progress at a glance. Gentle reminders - An optional daily reminder and per-habit reminders with weekday filters. - Mark a habit as done right from the notification. Private by design - No login, no account, no cloud.
