Habitlist turns your habits into a grid you can read at a glance. Every habit gets its own grid. Each day you finish fills a cell, and over a year that grid becomes a picture of what you actually did. No lectures, no scores, no guilt. Just the record. TRACK IT YOUR WAY - Simple done or not done, or count steps toward a daily target - Log a custom value when a number matters more than a checkmark - Go past your target on the days you have more in you - Pick any emoji as your icon, and any color you like QUIT A HABIT, NOT JUST BUILD ONE - Set a daily limit instead of a target, or a limit of none when you are stopping completely - Cut down gradually with a limit that steps down over time - Your grid fills at the start of each day and drains as you use up the limit - Milestones mark how long your current run has lasted THREE WAYS TO SEE YOUR DAY - Overview shows each habit with a running grid of recent days, as many weeks as your screen can hold - Weekly puts the current week in reach, so you can fill in a day you missed - Monthly gives you one compact tile per habit GO DEEPER ON ANY HABIT - Current streak, longest streak, total done and completion rate - A full year grid you can scroll back through, year by year - A month calendar where you can tap any past day to correct it - A monthly chart of how the habit has moved over time REMINDERS THAT FIT YOUR WEEK - Add a reminder to any habit, or as many as you need with Pro - Choose which weekdays each reminder fires - Every reminder is a local notification on your device HOME SCREEN WIDGETS (PRO) - Habit Grid puts one habit's history on your Home Screen, small or medium - Habit List shows up to six habits and lets you check off days without opening the app MAKE IT YOURS - Rounded grid cells, plus seven more shapes with Pro, including heart, star, leaf and diamond - Intensity Ladder progress style, plus Rising Fill and Progress Ring with Pro - Light, dark or system theme, plus four alternate app icons - Group habits into categories and filter your list - Start your week on Saturday, Sunday or Monday SIX LANGUAGES, SWITCHED INSIDE THE APP English, Burmese, Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese and Korean.
