Limits worth knowing in Grit

  • The free version stops at 3 habits and leaves out the Statistics screen.
  • Apple devices only, and the App Store listing requires iOS, iPadOS, watchOS or macOS 26; the Mac app needs an Apple M1 chip or later.
  • The vendor's site publishes no prices, and the US App Store lists several amounts for each plan length, so the price shown in the app may differ.
  • Refunds are handled by Apple; the terms say sales are otherwise final.
