Tap it on the calendar and fill it in โ–  Right from the Home Screen - Five widgets: Today, This month, One habit, Diary, This year - Tap a circle on a widget to log without opening the app โ€” on iOS from the Lock Screen and Control Center too โ–  Write the day down, too - A diary and a mood for each date, with the days you wrote marked on the calendar - A note on any habit on any day โ€” the line you write on a day you missed is the one worth reading later โ–  See which weekdays work - Completion rate, streaks and per-weekday stats for every habit - Weekly totals and progress bars โ–  Light on its own, together when you need it - Start with no account; your record stays on the device - Sign in with a Haruda account to keep the same record on every device Start with one dot today, and build from there. - - - Haruda Plus ยท Haruda Premium (auto-renewable subscriptions) Plus removes ads from the app. Premium removes ads and adds the automatic bots: write what you ate or how you trained in a note, and they work out the calories, the protein and the training volume for you. - Haruda Plus Monthly: US$0.99 / 1 month - Haruda Plus Yearly: US$7.99 / 1 year - Haruda Premium Monthly: US$1.99 / 1 month - Haruda Premium Yearly: US$19.99 / 1 year - Prices are shown in US dollars and may differ by region; the exact amount appears in the App Store before you confirm. - Payment is charged to your App Store account when you confirm the purchase. - The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and the renewal is charged to the same account. - You can cancel in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions on your device. - There is no free trial.
