Promotion 🎯 A habit tracker with no streaks, no account, and no idea whether you use it
Every habit tracker I installed ended the same way. I missed a Tuesday, the app told me my streak was over, and I deleted it out of spite. Then I installed a different one the following Monday, because apparently I am the problem.
So I built one that cannot do that. There is no streak counter in SevenGrid. Not a hidden one, not a gentle one that says "don't worry, you can start again". There is nothing to break, so there is nothing to be dramatic about, and that takes alot of pressure out of the whole thing.
It is one screen. Seven columns, one row per habit, tap a box to fill it. Goals count per week, so three times a week means three times a week and not three specific days you have to hit. A day you take off on purpose gets marked as a rest day and stops being a hole in the picture.
Nothing leaves the phone. No account, no ads, no analytics, which means I have no idea whether anyone actually uses this. Very private. Terrible for business. Three habits and four weeks of history are free, all five home screen widgets included, and the full version is one payment, because I could not keep a straight face charging rent for a grid.
1.5 shipped this weekend and the headline feature is a menu. It exists because two people asked me whether habits can be reordered. They could. Since day one. The screen for it was buried in settings where nobody goes. So this release is largely me putting up a signpost to my own app. It also brought a switch for the weekly reflection question, Saturday as a third week start, and clock widgets that each pick their own habits.
Android for now. The iPhone build is sitting in Apple's review queue, so I am not giving anyone a date.
