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.

Every other wellness app measures the time you spend with it. Earthwicking measures the time you spend outside. Made for people who want a short, daily outdoor practice — nature connection, mindfulness or quiet spiritual reflection — that fits a balcony or a back step as well as a forest. THE TWO-HOUR LINE A study of 19,806 people found that under 120 minutes of nature a week was no better than none, and 120 or more was — and that it made no difference whether that came from one long walk or a dozen small moments. That last part is the whole point. Two minutes under a tree is not a consolation prize; it is a deposit against the same line. Earthwicking shows you the week against that line, works out your own pace, projects where you will land, and tells you the smallest honest step that would clear it. And when the week genuinely cannot be cleared, it says so, instead of inventing a target. TODAY'S EARTHWICKING MOMENT One short practice a day, two to ten minutes, dealt from a library of 67 and chosen for the Path you picked and the outdoor space you actually have. A balcony never gets handed a woodland practice. THREE PATHS Nature Connection for the senses and the ground under you, Nature Mindfulness for attention and breath, or Spiritual Connection for reflection and Scripture. Change it whenever you like. SCREEN-DOWN TIMER Start it, put the phone in your pocket, and go. The one screen this app wants is the one you close. YOUR JOURNEY Seed, Sprout, Young Plant, Sapling, Tree, Grove, Living Forest — earned on the Moments of a lifetime, so a missed day can never move you backwards. There is no streak in this app and the word does not appear in it. WHERE THESE NUMBERS COME FROM Every figure is named to its study, in the app, on one sheet. One claim we were asked for is refused there, and it says why. FREE, FOREVER The daily Moment on every Path, the entire 67-practice library, logging with real minutes, the Screen-Down timer, the growth stages, all eight badges, this week against the 120-minute line and your own pace, the current month's Companion reading, reminders, and 30 days of your own observations. EARTHWICKING DEEPER (optional subscription) The computed depth only: the projection and the prescription, the eight-week trend, Patterns — which path, element, length and time of day actually settle you — all twelve Companion months, unlimited favourites, full history, and a real exported file. - $4.99 per month or $29.99 per year, each with a 7-day free trial - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your Apple ID is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the period ending. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID Settings. Earthwicking asks for no location permission and contains no GPS or maps. Nothing in it is medical advice.
