Small steps become visible progress with PixelHabit. Build routines, track daily goals, and watch every completed action light up a colorful pixel grid. One tap today becomes a pattern tomorrow—and a year of progress you can actually see. SEE CONSISTENCY TAKE SHAPE PixelHabit turns habit tracking into a visual record. Each check-in fills another pixel, helping you notice momentum instead of relying on motivation alone. Your home dashboard keeps every routine and its recent activity in one clear view. TRACK HABITS YOUR WAY Create the routines that matter to you: reading, workouts, hydration, study, mindfulness, creative practice, sleep routines, or anything else you want to repeat. Add a short note or target, choose a color, and pick from a library of pixel icons. Need to complete something more than once? Set a daily target and log each step until the goal is complete. UNDERSTAND YOUR PROGRESS Go beyond a simple checkmark with statistics that make progress easy to read: • Current streak and best streak • Total check-ins and completion rate • Weekly activity charts • Per-habit progress breakdowns • Monthly calendar history • A full 365-day pixel overview LOOK BACK WITHOUT LOSING CONTEXT Open any habit to review its calendar, see completed days, and understand how today fits into the bigger picture. Check in for today or revisit a previous date when you need to correct your history. KEEP PROGRESS CLOSE Add a PixelHabit widget to your Home Screen and choose the habit you want to keep visible. Small, medium, and large widget layouts help your progress stay top of mind without adding clutter. Optional daily reminders give you a gentle nudge at the time you choose. MAKE IT YOURS • Custom habit names and notes • Multiple daily targets • Colorful pixel palettes • A wide selection of pixel icons • Light, dark, or system appearance • Fast one-tap check-ins PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account is required. Your habit history is stored on your device, and you can export a JSON backup whenever you want to keep your own copy. HOW PIXELHABIT WORKS 1. Create a habit and choose its color, icon, and daily target. 2. Check in whenever you complete the action. 3. Watch your grid, streaks, calendar, and yearly record grow. You do not need a perfect streak to make progress. You only need the next visible pixel. Download PixelHabit and turn small daily actions into a record you can see.
