Tickgrid is the habit tracker you don't have to open. The hardest part of keeping a habit isn't the habit — 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 • An interactive habit widget for your Home Screen: a one-tap button for your top habit, or a grid of up to six habits • Tap a cell to check in — it flips instantly, without launching the app • Tapped by mistake? Tap again to undo • Lock screen habit tracker widgets: circular progress, today's next habit, or a compact inline count (Pro) FINISH THE DAY, EVERY DAY • In the evening, Tickgrid's wrap-up Live Activity appears on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: "N left today" • Every check-in counts it down in real time; finish the last one and it flips to done • At most one gentle daily reminder — you choose the time, and you can turn it off. No notification spam, ever WATCH YOUR STREAK GRID FILL UP • A contribution-style streak grid paints every day you showed up • Current streak and longest streak, per habit or across all habits • Advanced insights (Pro): completion trends, weekly rhythm, and a full-year view for every habit • A streak grid widget for your Home Screen (Pro) BRING YOUR HISTORY WITH YOU • Import from CSV: switching trackers doesn't mean starting over • Tickgrid reads common CSV formats, previews what it found, and backfills your streak grid in seconds • Export everything to CSV any time — every habit, every check-in, free forever. Your data is yours to take PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-up, no cloud • Your habits and check-ins are stored only on your device • No ads, no trackers. Anonymous usage counts only — 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: • Monthly — $2.99/month • Yearly — $19.99/year, with a 2-week free trial • Lifetime — $34.99. One purchase, yours forever. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.

Build habits. Protect your focus. Keep your promises to yourself. HabitKeep is a habit tracker that helps you follow through by blocking distracting apps until your scheduled habits are complete. Most habit trackers tell you whether you completed a habit. HabitKeep goes a step further: it changes your environment when distractions are getting in the way. HOW HABITKEEP WORKS 1. Create your habits Choose the habits you want to build, such as reading, exercising, journaling, studying, or meditating. 2. Set your protection time Choose when HabitKeep should begin protecting your habits each day. 3. Complete your habits Complete habits whenever you're ready—even before protection begins. 4. Stay protected When protection begins, HabitKeep blocks the distracting apps you've selected if you still have unfinished habits. 5. Finish what you started Complete your remaining habits and your blocked apps become available again. NO WILLPOWER REQUIRED HabitKeep is designed around a simple idea: make distractions harder to reach when they matter most. You don't need to rely entirely on discipline or motivation. HabitKeep helps create an environment that makes following through easier. SEE YOUR CONSISTENCY Track your habits with a simple rolling history that shows your recent progress at a glance. View detailed habit history and statistics to understand your follow-through over time. FOCUSED BY DESIGN HabitKeep isn't a to-do list, project manager, or complicated productivity system. It's built around one question: "What do I still need to do today?" Create your habits. Complete them. Stay consistent. PRIVACY-FIRST HabitKeep is designed to keep your experience simple and private. Your habits and progress are stored locally, with iCloud used to sync your data across your devices. Built for people who want to: • Build consistent daily habits • Reduce distracting screen time • Stay focused on what matters • Break the cycle of procrastination • Follow through on personal goals • Create better routines • Spend less time in distracting apps HabitKeep helps you protect your intentions until you've followed through.
