Flat Habits

Incredibly simple, and does its job quite well. I think the only things I would ask for is to be able to sync using iCloud, and to have prevention habits (e.g., don’t bite nails). You can export the underlying data as an org file, but that can be a hassle if I wanted to manage my list from multiple places.

This is exactly what I want in a habit tracker. The data is in an open format (org mode!). The repeating times are flexible. If I miss a specific time, I can still complete it before it recurs. It syncs with whatever backend Files supports. It’s absolutely perfect. I wonder if changing a specific habit’s frequency could have a more elegant solution. Right now it warns you that it might affect how it is tracked. I don’t have a great solution to this UX problem. But it’s still a place where some clever ideas could make things just a bit better.

I’m new to habits but what a great way to try with no overhead but great comfy features.

No clutter really effective app. Great execution.

I love the simple, no bells, no whistles interface. Marking a habit as done is easier than skipping it, as it should be. Because it uses a text file I can use Scriptable or Pyto to create my own widgets. Thank you!

Does everything I want it to

Really awesome app.

I’ve tried many apps in this space, but the complexity and time required for updating the habits was not worth the time. This app does one thing and it’s simple!

I really like the idea of having my habits separated from tasks/todos (see plainorg by the same dev). This app just does that and has a historical view with the calendar along with streak and commitment metrics which is a nice touch. It’s a simple, intuitive, and beautiful looking app.

I use this every day and I works really well. Focusing on a small subset of orgmode functionality for mobile is perfect, since it lets the app avoid clutter and give you what you’d want in this form factor anyway.
