👋 Hi fellow hunters and huntees!
I'm excited to hunt my own products 2nd launch today: (Habitually). https://habituallyimprove.app/The Journey
Habitually had a tough start to its life as a side project where its PMF was lacking and no apparent value for people. With valuable feedback from the Product Hunt community and early contributors, it has evolved into a tool that offers unmatched value. I have currently spent over 400 days journaling 200 actions/habits and tracking my well-being in Habitually. With my own experience leading to the optimising of Habitually to be as powerful as Excel but quicker and easier to operate. And all of this achieved in close to 5 minutes of usage daily.
About Habitually
Habitually is a Fast, Intuitive Journal & Well-being Tracker that is currently an Android Application. It enables you to journal your everyday life and track your wellbeing, creating new knowledge in how your lifestyle impacts your wellbeing. As well as creating the space for reflection on the life you are living and whether it meets your wants and expectations.
New Logo
I am undecided about changing the logo. What do you think about this as the new logo for Habitually? While it nods to the arrow style of the previous logo, it now features a caterpillar at the bottom and a butterfly at the point, symbolizing the journey of growth and evolution. Should I commit to this design?
What's New in Habitually v2.0: The Re-Habit-ening
• Improved UI/UX: Completely reworked for use as a journal and wellbeing tracker on Android.
• Insights: Model the impact of your actions or habits on your behaviour. E.g. answering questions like Is more mugs of Coffee better for you? Or does drinking Coffee in the mornings better than later? New impact report feature. No longer simply showing charts but generating reports and statistics to tell you what is going on and giving as much context as possible.
• Smarter Machine Learning: Daily updates and UI feedback, balancing features based on their existence not just presence and absence. Meaning Habitually learns better and faster as you live.
• Customisation: A larger selection of colours for personalisation. And more UI elements taking on these personalisation’s e.g. chart colours.
• Reminders: Allowing for the choice of which days the reminders are sent on.
• Re-worked Charts: First all of your well-being data is now plotted in a single chart. All habit and action charts allow for you to view its records for any date quickly.
• Introspection of the Day: From a bank of questions they all look for encouraging rumination on not just what you wish to do but also the how and why.

The pivotal moment that sparked this journey occurred in 2022 when I filled my second journal. The thought of losing all these memories and daily reflections weighed heavily on me. I was captivated by the concept of a learning journal, where each day’s knowledge builds upon the previous, to be used in the present. After watching a video by Veritasium, I was inspired to bring this idea to life using Naïve Bayes in a journaling and well-being tracking app. Thus, Habitually was born.
On reaching one year of Habitually from its MVP, I made a celebaratory post on r/dataisbeautiful. What soon became a particularily stressful experience as it garnered 2 million views and hundreds of comments within 48 hours. One benefit coming from the experience was finally realising the tangible value Habitually can offer to people. The first value is the sheer speed of using Habitually and its ability to integrate seamlessly into my life. The second value is the enhanced sense of accountability and awareness that comes with journaling inherently. This is only amplified by Habitually’s format, which allows for tracking almost every aspect of my day, be it exercise, people met, water intake, coffee or tea consumption, social media usage, work, or even the meta of developing Habitually itself.
In fact, I wrote my first-ever blog post detailing all of this. You can read it here: https://habituallyimprove.app/iv...Revenue
Despite being a part-time endeavour, with the majority of my focus on R&D to bring my vision to life, Habitually has managed to achieve notable sales. The challenge of building a personal project first and a home business second, particularly on a part-time basis, led to an overemphasis on development. This became apparent when I realized that I had been meticulously documenting my development journey, but had neglected marketing entirely. In fact, an entire year had passed without any marketing efforts. Recognizing this, I sought to reverse the trend by setting a target of initiating at least one marketing effort per week for Habitually.
These efforts have resulted in surprising growth, particularly following a post on Reddit. Habitually operates without restrictions, with the free tier being supported by ads. Since my last update, it has averaged a MRR of $5, from ads alone. This, along with personal goals and usage, demonstrates the potential of Habitually as a part-time venture catering to a niche market that I have now identified.
