A habit tracker that doesn't punish you for resting
A habit tracker that swaps streaks for weekly targets. Pick a goal like 4 out of 7 days, and just hit it most weeks. Take a day off, you're not starting over. Monday resets everything. No streak counters. No guilt mechanics. Rest days are part of the design. Research (Lally, 2010) found occasional rest days don't hurt habit formation. Consistency over months beats daily perfection. Free with 3 habits. Pay once for unlimited + iCloud sync.
I built mostly because I could never stick with a habit tracker.
Tried Streaks. Had some good streaks going until I just didn't feel it one day. Broke the streak. Never opened it again. Tried Duolingo. That crazy bird was super pushy. Kept asking me to open the app. Felt stressed. Removed it.
The pattern was always the same: start strong, miss a day, feel bad, quit. I'm probably not the only one.
Growing up I was always told to go for perfect. Perfection makes me nervous and afraid of losing. I wanted to be nice to myself and just try to be better without being perfect, or being punished.
There's a 2010 study (Lally et al.) showing habit formation takes about 66 days and skipping a day here and there doesn't actually matter. So missing a day should not be the end of the world. I can still build the habit I want.
That's why mostly uses weekly targets instead of streaks. 4 out of 7 days. Hit it and you're done. Miss a day? Still at 3 of 4. Monday resets everything. Didn't do anything this week? No problem. Just start again next week. No one yelling at you. No streaks to break. Just encouragement to keep going.
Things I cared about when designing it: No punishment. Only encouragement. If the right behavior is 4 opens a week, that's what I designed for. No engagement tricks.
SwiftUI, local-first, iCloud sync if you want it. No tracking, no ads, no accounts.
This is a really thoughtful approach to habit building. The psychology here is solid—removing the shame spiral that happens when you miss a day is probably why so many people bounce off existing trackers. The weekly cadence feels more forgiving while still maintaining accountability, which is a hard balance to strike.
