Every check-in grows one square of your lawn. A year of your habits, in one honest picture. HabitLawn turns your routine into a living lawn. Each habit gets its own colour, and every day you follow through, another square fills in on a year-long grid. Miss a day and the lawn simply shows it — no guilt, no streak-shaming, just the truth about your consistency. FREE FOR EVERYONE • Unlimited habits — build mode for what you want more of, quit mode for what you want less of. • The full year grid, streaks, and history for every habit. • Goals that fit the habit: once a day, a count (8 glasses), or minutes (30 minutes of reading). • Schedules that fit your week: daily, chosen weekdays, or a number of times per week. • Reminders at the times you pick. • No ads. No tracking. HABITLAWN PRO ADDS • Home and Lock Screen widgets — check in without opening the app, and see your lawn at a glance. • Notes on any day, so you can write down why a day went the way it did. • iCloud sync — your habits stay in step on every device. No account to create. • Export and import — your full history as a file. It is your data. • Deeper statistics: a 90-day rate, how your rate is trending, and which weekday you tend to lose. • Smart Rescue — it spots the day you usually slip and offers a smaller step before the streak breaks. Pro is optional: a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Eligible new subscribers can start with a 7-day free trial, and the app tells you before you buy whether you qualify. Prices are shown in the app before you buy. Everything in the first list stays free. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. A subscription renews automatically unless it is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and the renewal is charged within 24 hours of the period ending. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase. A lifetime purchase does not renew.
