Tickgrid is the habit tracker you don't have to open. The hardest part of keeping a habit isn't the habit β€” it's the ritual around logging it: unlock, find the icon, open the app, find the habit, tap. Tickgrid removes all of that. Your habits live on your Home Screen and Lock Screen as interactive widgets. Check in with one tap, right where you already are. The app stays in your pocket; your streak keeps growing. CHECK IN FROM A WIDGET β€’ An interactive habit widget for your Home Screen: a one-tap button for your top habit, or a grid of up to six habits β€’ Tap a cell to check in β€” it flips instantly, without launching the app β€’ Tapped by mistake? Tap again to undo β€’ Lock screen habit tracker widgets: circular progress, today's next habit, or a compact inline count (Pro) FINISH THE DAY, EVERY DAY β€’ In the evening, Tickgrid's wrap-up Live Activity appears on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: "N left today" β€’ Every check-in counts it down in real time; finish the last one and it flips to done β€’ At most one gentle daily reminder β€” you choose the time, and you can turn it off. No notification spam, ever WATCH YOUR STREAK GRID FILL UP β€’ A contribution-style streak grid paints every day you showed up β€’ Current streak and longest streak, per habit or across all habits β€’ Advanced insights (Pro): completion trends, weekly rhythm, and a full-year view for every habit β€’ A streak grid widget for your Home Screen (Pro) BRING YOUR HISTORY WITH YOU β€’ Import from CSV: switching trackers doesn't mean starting over β€’ Tickgrid reads common CSV formats, previews what it found, and backfills your streak grid in seconds β€’ Export everything to CSV any time β€” every habit, every check-in, free forever. Your data is yours to take PRIVATE BY DESIGN β€’ No account, no sign-up, no cloud β€’ Your habits and check-ins are stored only on your device β€’ No ads, no trackers. Anonymous usage counts only β€” and you can switch them off in Settings FREE AND PRO Tickgrid is free to download, and the free tier is genuinely usable: track up to 3 habits with the interactive check-in widget, the streak grid, streak counts, and the evening wrap-up. Tickgrid Pro unlocks unlimited habits, every widget style (streak grid + the Lock Screen family), and advanced insights. Tickgrid Pro: β€’ Monthly β€” $2.99/month β€’ Yearly β€” $19.99/year, with a 2-week free trial β€’ Lifetime β€” $34.99. One purchase, yours forever. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically for the same period and price unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when a subscription is purchased. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple Account settings. Lifetime is a one-time purchase and does not renew. Prices may vary by region. Restore Purchases is available in Settings. Your habits deserve your willpower. The logging shouldn't cost any.

About

Daily Check Widget

Features
Read full description

Daily Check is a checklist that lives on your Home Screen and empties itself every night. Make a list of the things you want to do each day β€” a morning routine, studio work, training, medication, whatever repeats. Add the Daily Check widget, and tick items off by tapping them directly on the Home Screen. The app never has to open. At midnight everything unchecks and a fresh day begins. Nothing is deleted: every day you complete is kept, so you can look back and watch your streak grow. WIDGETS THAT ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING Small, medium and large Home Screen widgets show your list as coloured rows. Tap a row to check it off. No launching, no loading, no waiting. BUILT FOR MORE THAN ONE LIST Keep separate lists for separate parts of your life, each with its own icon and colour, and give every item its own colour so you can read the list at a glance. ON YOUR WRIST A full Apple Watch app plus complications for your watch face, so you can see what is left without reaching for your phone. HISTORY AND STREAKS Every completed day is recorded. See your current streak, your best streak, and a calendar of the last four months. RESETS WHEN YOU DO If your day really ends at 3am, set the reset hour to match. The list will not clear until you are actually done. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-up. No tracking. Your lists sync across your devices through your own iCloud account, and nobody else β€” including us β€” can read them. DAILY CHECK PRO (OPTIONAL) Upgrade for Insights charts, achievements, smart reminders, streak-saving rest days, ready-made routines, pill styles, widget themes, extra widgets, colours, icons, alternate app icons and CSV export. Choose yearly (with a one-week free trial), monthly, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings.
