Time Flies: Habit Streaks

Version 2.2 adds habit builder trees that grow when you check in, on any rhythm from daily to your own gym days, plus optional goals, reminders and full backups.

Time Flies turns every habit into a tree.

Plant one for anything you want to keep up: reading, running, meditating, staying off sugar, staying sober. Choose how it grows and the app does the rest.

TWO WAYS TO GROW A time tracker tree grows on its own for as long as your streak is alive. Miss a day, cut it down, and a fresh sapling starts in its place. A habit builder tree grows only when you show up: confirm the habit and it grows a little, skip a cycle and it is cut down. Both kinds live in the same forest, and a tree can switch from one to the other whenever you like.

A RHYTHM THAT FITS Every day. Every two days. Certain days of the week, so a gym habit set to Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday asks on exactly those days and leaves the rest alone as rest days. Once a week, every two weeks, once a month. Whichever you pick, keeping it perfectly grows the tree at the same steady pace.

ONE TAP TO CONFIRM A habit builder asks one thing: say you did it. Confirm from the tree, from a long press on the forest, or straight from the reminder without opening the app. You get a full cycle of grace, so a late night still counts, and if a tree was cut down for a cycle you really kept, one tap fills it in and grows it back.

A LIVING FOREST Every tree is drawn on your device from its own seed, so no two look the same. Eight species can appear: orchard trees, pines, palms, banana plants, willows, cacti, baobabs and bamboo. The sky behind them follows your real clock through all 24 hours, from deep night with stars and an aurora through sunrise, noon and golden hour to dusk. Clouds drift past, the sun rides its arc, the moon rises after dark.

WATCH IT GROW Your streak is shown live, down to the second, in hours, days, weeks or years. A growth bar tracks the tree from fresh stump through sapling and mature tree to Timeless. Full height takes 24 weeks of streak, or 168 confirmed days.

SET A GOAL, OR DO NOT Give a tree a target if you want one: a streak of 30 days, 50 check ins in a row, 100 check ins in total. The percentage reached shows on the tree and in the forest, and the app tells you the moment you get there. Leave it off and the streak simply runs forever, which is how Time Flies has always worked.

HARVEST WHAT YOU EARN After three weeks of growth a tree starts bearing fruit. Pick it and it goes into your lifetime total, which climbs nine orchard ranks, from Seedling to Mythic Orchard. Fruit is the reward for patience, not for tapping.

KNOW WHEN YOU SLIP Reset analysis shows when your streaks tend to end: which month, which hour, which day of the week, plus your average, median, shortest and longest streaks. Forest insights rolls that up across every tree.

EDIT ANYTHING, UNDO ANYTHING Cut a tree down at the exact moment it really ended, not just now. Undo an accidental reset and the tree grows straight back to the height it had. Edit any streak, delete a bad entry, add a past streak, or tick and untick any cycle in your check in history.

BRING YOUR HISTORY WITH YOU Export a full backup and every tree comes back exactly as it was: its look, its streaks, its check ins, its cycle, its goal and its reminder. Restore it on a new phone and your forest is simply there again. There is a plain CSV too, and the importer still reads files from other trackers, guessing delimiters, columns and date formats. Your data is yours to take.

QUIET BY DESIGN Every notification is optional and local to your device. A weekly note tells you how the forest is doing, and each tree can carry its own reminder on its own cycle, which stays silent on a rest day or whenever the cycle is already confirmed. No streak shaming, nothing you did not ask for.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign in. No cloud. No analytics. No ads. No trackers. Everything lives on your device, and the app works entirely offline.

Time Flies is a small, quiet app built on one idea: the thing you keep doing is the thing that grows.
