HabitStack helps you build a morning routine that actually sticks. Instead of tracking habits in isolation, you stack small new habits onto the anchors you already do — your first coffee, brushing your teeth — so the whole routine flows in order and nothing gets forgotten. STACK HABITS ONTO ANCHORS Start from something you already do every morning, then stack new habits before or after it. Reorder the stack, set a duration and reminder per step, and build a sequence that feels natural. RUN YOUR MORNING AS A FLOW The Morning Run walks you through the stack one step at a time, so you move through the routine instead of staring at a checklist. A FORGIVING STREAK Keep one streak for the whole routine — with a built-in grace day, skip, and freeze, because one missed morning shouldn't erase weeks of progress. SEE WHAT'S REALLY STICKING The Momentum Engine scores how automatic each routine is becoming and estimates when it could feel effortless — an estimate grounded in habit research, never a promise. Watch your streak calendar and consistency trends build over time. HABITSTACK PRO (optional subscription) The routine builder, morning run, streak, and calendar are free. Pro unlocks multiple routines, your complete history, per-habit consistency, best-time-of-day and weakest-link insights, and shareable weekly reports. - $4.99/month or $29.99/year, with a 7-day free trial - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation; auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings.
