Habit Tracker

Helping build habits with mindful notifications.

Comment

Inspiration

I built Habit Tracker because I wanted a calm way to build small daily habits. I was tired of heavy, noisy apps that slowed me down. I needed gentle reminders, quick check-ins, and a clean space that keeps my routine simple on both iPhone and iPad.

What it does

Habit Tracker helps you start and stick with small habits without stress. - Set habits with reminders and notifications so you do not forget - Use interactive widgets on the Home Screen to check off habits in seconds - Start fast with a built in catalog of popular habits - Create fully custom habits that fit your life - Keep everything clean and ad free - Works great on iPhone and iPad

How we built it

I built the app with Swift and SwiftUI for a smooth, native feel on iOS and iPadOS. I used WidgetKit for interactive widgets and the system notifications API for gentle reminders. I focused on clear layouts, fast interactions, and small details that save time, like quick actions from the widget and a simple flow for creating a new habit.

Challenges we ran into

I ran into a few challenges while shaping the experience: - Making widgets truly useful so a single tap can log a habit without opening the app - Balancing reminders so they feel supportive, not stressful - Designing one interface that feels natural on both iPhone and iPad

Accomplishments that we’re proud of

I am proud that Habit Tracker feels light and friendly. You can add a habit, place a widget, and complete your first check-in in under a minute. The built in catalog helps new users get started fast. The app stays out of the way, with no ads and a simple flow that keeps your routine clear.

What we learned

Building a good habit tool is about removing friction. Small touches matter more than big features. Clear copy, gentle reminders, and fast widgets make the difference. I also learned that designing for iPhone and iPad together leads to better structure and more focus.

What’s next for Habit Tracker

- More widget layouts and small quality improvements for even faster check-ins
- Smarter reminder options that stay gentle and flexible
- Better onboarding tips from the built in catalog
- Localization to reach more people while keeping the same simple feel

My goal is to keep Habit Tracker calm, fast, and helpful so that small daily actions become part of everyday life.
