Key features
Disciplined
- One-tap daily checklist
- Add a habit in a few seconds and mark it complete with a single tap. Habits can be ones to build or ones to break.
- Streaks that reset
- Each habit's streak is shown when the app opens. It grows on every day the habit is completed and resets when a day is missed.
- Weekly and monthly statistics
- Weekly and monthly views show completion rate, best streaks and where consistency is slipping. Advanced analytics are part of Premium.
- Flexible scheduling
- A habit can be daily, weekly, tied to specific days of the week or set to a custom interval, with its own target.
- Per-habit reminders
- Set a custom reminder for each habit so the notification arrives at the time you chose for it.
- Sync and widgets
- Habit data syncs across your devices automatically, and a home screen widget lets you check habits off without opening the app.
Way of Life
- Color-coded daily tracking
- Each day is marked green or red for every habit. The vendor says updating takes less than a minute a day.
- Chains and scoreboard
- Chains challenge you not to break a streak, and a scoreboard gives weekly and monthly feedback.
- Charts
- Pie charts, bar graphs with trend lines and a frequency distribution chart show positive and negative trends over weeks, months or years.
- Notes and reminders
- A note can record what went well or what triggered a bad habit, and reminders support flexible schedules and custom messages.
- Lock, backup and export
- The iOS app can be locked with a passcode, Face ID or Touch ID, backed up to a cloud storage provider of your choice, and exported as CSV, Excel or JSON.
- Widgets, Siri and Shortcuts
- The iOS app adds widgets, Siri and Shortcuts support, and URL schemes for working with other apps.
