✅Habit Tracker

About this habit tracker

Add a habit, then tick the box each day you do it. The grid shows your last two weeks at a glance and the 🔥 column counts your current streak. Missed logging yesterday even though you did the thing? Click yesterday's box — the grid lets you backfill any of the visible days.

A day you haven't ticked yet doesn't break the streak until it's actually over, so checking the page in the morning never greets you with a zero. Everything is stored on your device — no account, nothing uploaded.

Why streaks work (and when they don't)

A streak turns an abstract goal — “be someone who exercises” — into a concrete one: don't break the chain. The method is old; comedians, writers and programmers have all sworn by a wall calendar and a marker. The daily tick is a tiny reward, and protecting a long streak is a surprisingly strong motivator precisely because it's visible.

The failure mode is all-or-nothing thinking: one missed day reads as ruin, and the habit dies with the streak. The fix most behaviour research lands on is the “never miss twice” rule — a single miss is noise, two in a row is a trend. Backfilling honestly and restarting without ceremony matters more than any individual run of days.

Building a habit that sticks

• Shrink it until it's easy. “Read one page” builds the identity; the volume comes later on its own.
• Anchor it to something you already do. After coffee, after brushing teeth — existing routines are the best triggers.
• Track no more than a handful. Five habits ticked daily beats fifteen abandoned by Thursday.
• Never miss twice. The first miss is life happening; the second is the habit unravelling.
