■ It's not about willpower Open a habit app and you see a list. That's where the question "which one first?" starts. A screen full of unchecked items becomes a weight of its own. SpeedTask doesn't show you a list. It shows one card at a time. ■ Right if you did it, left to skip Just swipe the card in front of you. Right means done. Left means skip. There's nothing to think about, so it takes seconds. Skipping doesn't mean "not doing it." It means "ask me again later." Skipped cards come back the next time you open the app. Swiped the wrong way? Undo from the top left as many times as you need. ■ The real problem isn't logging. It's forgetting to open the app. So the home screen widget shows how many cards are left today. You can watch the stack get thinner. Log straight from the widget's buttons. No need to open the app. Notifications work the same way: they show what's left, and you can log right there. On days you're already done, no notification comes. ■ Start with up to 5 You can add up to 5 habits for free. "8 left" tends to feel like pressure before it feels like motivation. Finishing a few every day is what keeps you going. Want more? SpeedTask Plus lets you add up to 10. ■ Look back on what you've built - Calendar: colored dots show which habits you did each day - History: your streak and everything you've logged - Insights: completion rate by week, month, and all time. You choose your own daily goal A day doesn't reset to zero just because you didn't do everything. Any day you do at least one counts toward your streak. Busy days won't break your streak and make you want to quit. ■ SpeedTask Plus (subscription) Up to 10 habits, your own photos on cards and widgets, and card styles. Choose yearly or monthly. The yearly plan starts with a 1-week free trial. Cancel anytime. Renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Terms of Use: https://scrublystore37-afk.github.io/speedtask-legal/#terms-en ■ Privacy Your habit names and daily records are stored only on your device. They are never sent anywhere. No account needed. - No account - No ads - Nothing you type is ever sent
