Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Anton, the solo developer behind HabitIt.
I built this app out of personal frustration. When trying to rebuild my daily routines, I realized every popular habit tracker wanted me to create an account, store my data on their cloud, and pay a $40/year subscription. I physically couldn’t bring myself to put my private offline life onto someone else’s server.
So, I built the tool I wanted to use.
🎨 GitHub-Style Grid: I'm the kind of person motivated by a green contribution graph. Every habit gets its own heatmap grid. The more you do it, the darker the tile.
🔒 100% Local-First: No accounts, no backends, no tracking. Your data stays entirely on your device. Backup goes to your own iCloud/Drive if you choose.
⚖️ Fair Streaks: Built-in logic that understands rest days. Taking Tuesday off from a 3x/week gym routine shouldn't kill your 4-month streak.
💸 No Subscription Fatigue: 3 habits are free forever. Unlimited habits is a simple one-time lifetime purchase.
I’ve translated it into 16 languages and built interactive home screen widgets so the grid can quietly motivate you throughout the day.
I'll be here all day answering your questions. Let me know what you think of the design and the local-first approach!
The GitHub-style heatmap sounds like a great visual hook, and the fair streaks around rest days are a thoughtful touch. One thing that would really round it out for me is letting me set per-habit schedules (like three times a week instead of daily) so the streak logic and heatmap coloring actually reflect what success looks like for each routine.
The heatmap makes checking off habits oddly satisfying, and I love that nothing leaves my phone. Rest day streaks are a thoughtful touch that most trackers get wrong.
love the local-first angle and the heatmap is genuinely satisfying to fill in. one thing that would really help me stick with it is exporting the heatmap as an image so i can share progress with friends or just flex on social media. maybe even a little shareable card with my streak stats. would make the wins feel way more tangible.
the github-style heatmap is a really nice touch, makes checking off habits oddly satisfying. love that it's local-first and doesn't shove a subscription in your face.

the github-style heatmap is a really smart touch, makes daily progress feel tangible without gamifying it into something cringe. love that it stays local-first too, that’s a stance not enough trackers take.
Love the local-first approach and the heatmap looks gorgeous. One thing I'd love to see is a simple "habit stacking" option, like letting you link one habit as a trigger for another so the app nudges me to do both in sequence. Would make mornings feel more cohesive.
Love the local-first approach and the heatmap idea is genuinely motivating. One thing that would really help me stick with it: a simple reminder or notification when I'm about to break a streak, ideally with a "snooze" option so it doesn't feel nagging. That nudge at the right moment could be the difference between keeping momentum and losing a 40-day run.
