## Keep it, or make your own?

**You could make this.** A habit tracker at its plainest is a list of habits, a tick for each day and a count of the streak. What Habit Quest does at its core is tasks, habit tracking, Pomodoro timer and goals, and that is the kind of thing an AI app builder makes well. You would give up one thing, listed below, and little else. It costs $60 a year. An AI app builder starts at about $20 a month on our listings, and you only need it while you build.

- You could make: Tasks, habit tracking, Pomodoro timer and goals: an app builder makes these well.
- You could make: It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
- You could not: Blocking that reaches every browser and app and is hard to switch off.
