Read full description

Habitants is a lightweight habit tracker built around one fast loop: open the app, tap a jewel, move on. Each habit is a faceted crystal jewel that fills with color as you tap. One tap counts everywhere, for you and in every group that shares the habit. Hit your daily or weekly target and the jewel settles, done. • One-tap logging that is never destructive and never fussy • Groups and partners: share habits and cheer each other on • A Home Screen widget that shows your jewel and your partner's, filling live, side by side • Streaks, XP, levels, and 30 collectible badges • Per-habit reminders that quietly fade as a habit becomes automatic • Fully localized in Spanish and Portuguese Habitants Pro (subscription) adds Ant, your AI habit partner: • Natural-language habit suggestions • Weekly insights and a monthly "wrapped" recap • Reminder copy and smart timing learned from when you actually show up • Group digests Your progress is yours. No slot-machine streaks, no dark patterns, just a calm, fast tracker. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
