From the Xtreeks website:
Over the years, I’ve tried dozens of habit apps and hit multiple 1,000+ day streaks. Obsessive? Maybe. Effective? Absolutely.
Back when I was a Director of Product Management at a public tech company, one of my guiding philosophies was to “eat your own dog food”—regularly use your own product. I couldn’t find a habit app that worked, so I hacked together my own system. I logged when I used my product by creating GitHub commits and tracked progress in their commit graph. That simple system kept me consistent for over 1,000 days straight.
Since then, I’ve bounced between habit apps, trying to find one that fits my needs. Right now, I’m juggling three paid apps just to cobble together something halfway functional. But honestly? Nothing really nails it.
For years, I’ve wanted to build my own habit app, but I kept putting it off—knowing how much time it would take and how rusty my coding skills are. Then I hit a breaking point. I realized I’d literally pay $5,000 for a tool that just worked for me. That’s how much this matters to me. I even considered buying one of the habit apps I use for $10,000, but I’d still need to rebuild most of it.
Then it hit me: I’ll never find the perfect app unless I build it myself. So, I called my best friend—who also happens to be one of the best engineers I know—and pitched the idea. Turns out, he’d been looking for a better habit app too. And just like that, 𝕏treeks was born.
We’re keeping it ridiculously simple for version one: tweet to log a habit, and the app will show your progress in a clean, GitHub-style grid. It’s easy to use, with built-in accountability and encouragement since your updates are shared on 𝕏.
I've bee using it for a couple weeks now and it's the habit app I've always wanted. I hope you love it as much as I do 🙏
