Most habit trackers punish you for being human. Miss one day and your 60-day streak is gone — so you quit. Bend works differently. Streaks bend instead of breaking. Miss a day and your flame dims; come back and it brightens. Mark rest, sick, or travel days honestly. Earn freeze tokens that automatically protect your streak when life happens. Built on real behavioral science: research shows missing a single day doesn't hurt long-term habit formation — quitting after the miss does. Bend is designed around coming back. TRACK YOUR WAY - Daily habits or weekly targets (like "3Ɨ per week") on the days you choose - 14 colors, per-habit reminders, quick notes on any day - A living flame shows each streak's state at a glance FORGIVING BY DESIGN - Streaks dim, they don't reset - Rest, sick, and travel days keep your flame alive - Freeze tokens earned every 7-day run — spent automatically if you miss - A warm comeback flow when you lapse, never a guilt trip UNDERSTAND YOUR PROGRESS - Monthly heatmap calendar and completion stats - 16 short, science-backed articles on building habits — plus curated books, podcasts, and research to go deeper PRIVATE BY DEFAULT - All data stays on your phone. No account. No tracking. Full export/import backup anytime. - Available in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese FREE & PRO Free: 3 habits, core streaks, stats, and Learn articles. Bend Pro (subscription): unlimited habits, full history, 6 extra themes, a bigger freeze-token bank, and the full Learn library. Start tiny. Miss a day. Come back. That's how habits are actually built — and Bend is the tracker that finally understands it.

About

Petite Habits

Petite Habits is a cozy, guilt-free habit tracker: small daily habits, gentle streaks, and Pip, a little fawn who cheers for you and never guilts you. Miss a day, keep your streak. Works offline, with no account and no ads. Most habit apps punish you for being human. Miss a day and the streak resets, the notifications pile up, and your habits vanish behind a paywall. Petite Habits is built the other way around. KIND STREAKS • An unfinished today never breaks a streak • Forgot yesterday? Tap the calendar and fill it in • Hold a day to skip it, and your streak stays safe • Rest days neither build nor break anything • Your best streak is kept for good A COMPANION, NOT A CHORE Pip lives in a small painted meadow at the top of your day. Pip hops when you finish a habit, lies in the sun on rest days, and sleeps at night. No feeding, no currency, no shop, no nagging. Rename Pip, or turn Pip off entirely. HABITS THAT FIT REAL LIFE • Simple ticks, amounts ("8 glasses") or timed habits ("10 minutes") • A calm full-screen timer that keeps time while your phone is locked • Morning, afternoon, evening or anytime; every day, chosen weekdays, or a few times a week • Gentle reminders, only if you ask for them, set per habit • A little todo list for everything that isn't a habit LET GO OF A HABIT Quitting sugar, doomscrolling or anything else? "Break a habit" counts your days free, keeps your best run, and logs slips gently, with undo. No shame, no red warnings. HOW WAS TODAY? One tap for today's weather, stormy to sunny, and an optional line about it. Over time, Petite Habits notices which habits line up with your brighter days. CALM INSIGHTS Your week at a glance, 30-day consistency and a Sunday recap. With Petite+: an 18-week heatmap, weekday rhythms, time of day, and plain-language notes about what's working. HOME SCREEN, LOCK SCREEN AND APPLE WATCH • Progress widget for your Home Screen and Lock Screen • Today widget: tick habits right from your Home Screen (Petite+) • Apple Watch: see today's habits on your wrist, and tick them off with Petite+ YOURS, PRIVATE, BACKED UP Everything works offline, no account needed. Sign in with Apple, Google or email only if you want backup and sync across your devices; it's free for everyone. No ads.
