## Key features

- **Guided habit creation:** Each habit is a statement anchored in an identity and committed to a time and place. Suggestions are offered for every segment and can be replaced with your own wording.
- **Press-and-hold logging:** A habit is logged by pressing and holding its atom until it fills, or with a + button in Compact View. Earlier days can be logged or undone from the habit's history.
- **Daily goals:** A habit can carry a daily target counted in times or another unit such as steps, and it is logged automatically once the target is met.
- **Habit stacking and Focus Mode:** Release notes describe habit stacks built from existing habits, and a Focus Mode that plays audio from a Spotify account or from the app's own music library.
- **Daily lessons and Mindset content:** The Mindset tab holds articles and a daily lesson from James Clear; a new lesson appears only after the previous one is read. The web checkout lists both under Pro.
- **Reminders, widgets and Apple Watch:** Reminders can fire at a habit's exact time or several times a day. The iOS app has interactive widgets, and an Apple Watch app logs habits away from the phone.

## Good for

- Readers of Atomic Habits who want the book's four laws built into an app
- People who prefer to start with a few small habits rather than a long list
- iPhone users who want to log habits from an Apple Watch

## Worth knowing

- The web checkout's comparison table gives Free 1 habit and Pro 6 habits; no tier with unlimited habits is listed.
- Mindset content and the daily lessons from James Clear are marked Pro-only in that table.
- Apps are listed for iPhone, Apple Watch and Android only; the web site sells and manages subscriptions but is not a web app.
- The length of the trial is not stated on the homepage, the support page or the store listings.
