Health Habit Hub

Manage your habits, and contribute to research along the way. Measured with instruments from published behavioural science. No name, no email required.

Health Habit Hub is a habit tracker built by the Digital Health research group at TU Dresden. You use it to manage your everyday habits. Researchers use what you choose to share to understand how habits actually form.

Both halves are real, and we would rather say so plainly than dress one up as the other.

WHAT YOU GET

• Track your daily habits and see, at a glance, how consistent you have been • Measure how automatic a habit has become, using the Self-Report Habit Index — the same instrument used in published research • Attach a new habit to one you already have (habit stacking), tied to a specific cue and moment • Personalised suggestions, generated from a curated library of peer-reviewed behavioural-science papers rather than generic advice • Reminders at the times you choose, worded to support the intention you set

PRIVACY, CONCRETELY

• No name, no email address, no phone number. Your account is a 24-word recovery passphrase and nothing else. • That passphrase is the only way back into your account. Write it down. We cannot reset it, because we hold nothing that could identify you. • Your data is stored under a pseudonym. Researchers analysing it cannot see who you are. • Export everything you have contributed at any time, or delete your account outright, from inside the app. • Hosted on university infrastructure in Germany, under the GDPR.

Some clinical studies do need to know who their participants are. Those studies are separate, are joined with a different kind of invitation code, and ask for your explicit consent first. If you are not in one, none of that applies to you and nothing about your account changes.

ABOUT THE RESEARCH

Health Habit Hub supports "HabConnect — from Habit to Health" and related work on how habits form and hold. Taking part is voluntary, you are told what is collected before you agree, and you can stop at any time.

This app does not diagnose, treat, or give medical advice. If something about your health concerns you, speak to a doctor.
