Form vs Ransom

Form is a habit tracker built for people who take consistency seriously. The premise is simple: pick the things you want to do every day. Tap them when you do them. Watch your streaks grow. Miss a day, and your streak resets to zero — that's the whole game. WHY FORM IS DIFFERENT Most habit apps want to be your coach, your therapist, your accountability buddy, and your gamification engine. Form just wants to be a quiet tool that does its job. — No accounts. No sign-up. — No ads. No tracking. No analytics. — Your data lives on your phone, period. — No subscription. Pay nothing, ever. If you've been burned by habit apps that became cluttered, monetized, or pushy — this is the app you've been looking for. WHAT'S INSIDE • Track unlimited habits, each with its own icon, color, and goal • Daily, weekday, weekend, or custom-day schedules • Weekly & monthly checklists for recurring chores — change the sheets, pay the bills — that reset automatically every Monday and on the 1st • Streak tracking with celebrations at 7, 14, 30, 60, 100, and 365 days • Drag-and-drop reordering so your most important habits sit on top • Local notification reminders at the times you choose • Past-day editing — forgot to log yesterday? One tap fixes it • Weekly summary card that shows you're actually making progress • 28-day heatmap and 7-day chart on the Analytics tab • Streak-at-risk indicator that quietly nudges you in the evening • Haptic feedback on every check-off (you can turn it off) • Export and import your full backup as JSON anytime • Dark mode that matches your preferences PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN Form is the rare app that genuinely doesn't collect your data. There's no server, no cloud, no analytics SDK in the build. Everything is stored locally on your device. We can't see what you track even if we wanted to. We don't. When you're ready to back up your data — to switch phones, or just for peace of mind — use the Export button. You get a JSON file you control completely. GET STARTED IN 30 SECONDS Open the app. Tap the + button. Name a habit. Pick an icon. Done. Tomorrow, tap the habit when you do it. The streak takes care of itself. We hope Form helps you find yours.

Get your evenings back. Keep your apps. Ransom locks Instagram, TikTok and whatever else eats your day, and asks for push-ups, squats or steps before it opens them. Most of the time you'll decide it isn't worth ten push-ups. That is the whole trick. WHAT CHANGES You stop opening apps by reflex. A set standing between you and the feed makes you notice your hand reaching for the phone, and noticing is most of the battle. The hour before bed comes back. Set a wind-down rule and scrolling takes twice the reps right when you'd normally lose the evening to it. You get a bit stronger without meaning to. Ten push-ups a few times a day adds up faster than you'd think. You watch the number drop. The Progress tab shows today against this time yesterday, and your whole week. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps that eat your day. 2. Rex, a buff T-rex with tiny arms, locks them. 3. Do a set. The front camera counts push-ups and squats. The pedometer counts steps. 4. A set earns coins, and coins are minutes, one for one. 15 coins opens your apps for 15 minutes. Spend them on whatever you like. When they run out, your apps lock again until your next set. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE No account, no sign-up. Your screen time never leaves your phone. The camera looks at your form on the device and never records, saves or uploads a frame. Your screen time is your business. EVERY DAY IS A FRESH START Coins clear at midnight, so unspent minutes never pile up. Had a bad day and scrolled through all of it? Tomorrow starts at zero, and Rex is not going to bring it up. REX COUNTS PROPERLY Half a push-up is not a push-up. The camera looks for real depth, so a bounce doesn't earn a minute. It also means the minutes you do earn actually feel earned. RULES FOR THE HOURS THAT MATTER Name an hour. Dinner, gym time, wind down. During it, opening your apps takes twice the reps. You still can, it just takes more work. PICK YOUR LEVEL Chill, Standard or Beast. Start easy. Move up when ten push-ups stops being a reason to put the phone down. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO It doesn't delete your apps. It doesn't shame you. It doesn't nag. Full access is a subscription that renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends.
