Habits: compete with Friends

Habits is a small, calm habit tracker built around one idea: your day should fit in a single glance.

Open the app and there's a ring. It fills as you tick off today's habits. Pull the panel up from the bottom and your habit list takes over the screen; let it go and it settles back down. That's the whole daily routine — no feeds, no ads, no clutter.

MAKE IT YOURS • Give every habit a name, a colour and an icon. • Schedule it your way: every day, on certain weekdays, a few times a week, or every X days. • Start from ready-made templates for walking, running, strength, water, sleep, mindfulness and more — or write your own. • Set reminders on the days a habit is actually due, so you're never nagged on a rest day. • Went to bed before you could tick something off? Edit past days without breaking your streak.

LET APPLE HEALTH DO THE TICKING Link a habit to a Health metric — steps, water, mindful minutes, workouts, sleep, your Move ring — and it completes itself the moment you hit your target. Habits only reads the metrics you choose, never writes to Health, and your Health data stays on your device.

KEEP GOING WITH FRIENDS • Add friends and start a shared habit together. Each of you ticks off your own day; you both see how it's going. • A weekly leaderboard ranks everyone by how much of each day they finish — not by how many habits they keep — so a friend with two habits competes fairly with a friend who has ten. • Get a nudge when a friend completes their day or sends a request. Notifications are optional and easy to switch off.

SEE HOW YOU'RE REALLY DOING Statistics shows how reliably you keep each habit over a week, a month or a year, with a year-at-a-glance grid for every habit and a small ⓘ beside each block that explains exactly what it counts.

A TROPHY CABINET WORTH FILLING Twelve trophies, each in bronze, silver and gold: Starter, Early Bird, Night Owl, Weekend Warrior, Comeback, Perfect Days, Immaculate Month, Marathon, Century, Old Growth and more. Every one is on the shelf from day one — the grey ones are the ones still to earn. Pin your favourites to your profile.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your habits sync to your account so they're there on a new phone, and nothing else leaves your device. • Friends only ever see display names and shared-habit progress — never your email, never your private habits. • Sign in with an email address; no social logins, no tracking, no third-party analytics. • Delete your account, and everything in it, from inside the app at any time.

Habits is free, with no subscription and no in-app purchases
