Habit Pocket

Habit Pocket is a habit tracker for people who want to track more than just checkmarks.

Most trackers only ask "did you do it, yes or no". Habit Pocket lets you log that too, but also the numbers and times that actually tell you something: how many steps you walked, your weight, what time you went to bed, what time you woke up. You can even make list habits with your own options, like an "Activity" habit where you pick Cycling, Hiking or a morning walk. Everything lives together in one grid that works a bit like a spreadsheet.

The grid is the heart of it. Habits are rows, days are columns, and you tap a cell to fill in your day. There are two views: one with habits down the side and dates across the top for seeing a whole month at once, and one with dates down the side for quickly filling in a single day. You can group habits into sections like Health, Sleep and Growth, reorder them, and skip weekdays where it makes sense. And if you miss a day on purpose, a skip pauses your streak instead of resetting it to zero, so a rest day or a cold doesn't wipe out your progress.

Once you have some data, the charts help you find patterns. You can put any habit next to any other and see if they move together, like whether your sleep score follows your bedtime, or your weight follows your steps. There's also a sleep chart that lays your bedtime, wake time and sleep quality on one timeline.

A few things are on purpose. Habit Pocket doesn't send reminder notifications, because it's meant for tracking, not for nagging you into opening it. Your data stays private, it's never shared or sold, and there are no ads. It runs on the web and on iPhone, syncs between them in real time, and keeps working offline on your phone so you can log anywhere. You can export everything to CSV or JSON whenever you want, and a public API, an MCP server and Apple Health import are on the way.

It's free for up to 5 habits with the yes/no and number types. Pro is $3.99 a month, or $49 once for lifetime access, and it adds unlimited habits, the time-of-day and list habit types, all the charts plus a custom chart builder, targets, and your full history.

It started as a spreadsheet I kept for about two years and grew into an app I now use every day. It's built and maintained by one person.
