Build better habits, keep the streak alive, and finally stick to the routine you keep planning. HabitKeep turns what you mean to do into a daily list you can actually finish - on your iPhone, your Home Screen, and your Apple Watch. TRACK ANY KIND OF HABIT Simple check-offs, step-by-step counts, custom values (glasses of water, pages read, minutes practiced), or a built-in timer and stopwatch for time-based habits. A Live Activity keeps a running timer on your Lock Screen. A SCHEDULE THAT FITS REAL LIFE Repeat every day, on chosen weekdays, every few days, or a set number of times per week or month. Schedule goal changes ahead of time and keep the full history. Going away? Vacation mode pauses habits for a date range instead of breaking your streak. STREAKS, STATS AND INSIGHTS Current and longest streaks, completion rate, an adaptive trend chart, a weekday heatmap, category and habit breakdowns, and a full-year contribution grid. Step back through past weeks, months and years, or compare two periods side by side. REMINDERS THAT REACH YOU Reminders per habit or per category, plus a daily check-in nudge. Mirror them into the Calendar app so your habits sit alongside everything else in your day. APPLE HEALTH DOES THE LOGGING Steps, workouts, sleep, water and 58 other metrics can fill your habits in by themselves, so movement goals tick off without you touching the app. WIDGETS, APPLE WATCH AND SIRI 14 Home Screen widget styles, many with tap-to-check-off. A full Apple Watch app with its own habit list, logging, and mini contribution grid. Ask Siri or run a Shortcut to log a habit or start and pause a timer, hands-free. ACHIEVEMENTS AND YOUR YEAR, WRAPPED Unlock 37 achievement badges as momentum builds, then close out the year with a Wrapped-style recap and a share card worth posting. MAKE IT YOURS - 37 languages - custom accent color - light or dark theme - categories with own icons and colors - four habit row styles: grid, bars, line or progress YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS iCloud keeps every device in step, and you can switch it off. Export and import everything as JSON, or start over with Fresh Start whenever you like.
