Habit Pocket

Most habit trackers only ask one thing: did you do it, yes or no. And for a long time that never really worked for me. Marking "Sleep 8h" as done or not done told me almost nothing. What I actually wanted to know was the detail behind it, like what time I went to bed, what time I woke up, and how I felt after. A single checkmark hides all of that.

So a couple of years ago I started tracking everything in a spreadsheet instead. Not just yes/no habits, but numbers and times too. Wake-up time, bedtime, steps, calories, a little energy score. It worked really well, but a spreadsheet is painful on the phone and easy to forget when you're away from the laptop. So I turned the whole idea into a proper app, and that became Habit Pocket.

It keeps the spreadsheet feeling: one simple grid where rows are your habits and columns are your days, and you just tap a cell to log. But your habits can be different types. Yes/No for the classic ones, with a skip that pauses your streak instead of breaking it. Numbers like steps, water or weight, with your own units and targets. Times of day, a real clock time like 07:15, instead of pretending a wake-up is just a number. And select lists, where you define your own options and pick one or several per day, like an "Activity" habit with Cycling, Hiking or a morning walk.

Then the part I like most: once you have some data, you can put any habit next to any other on a chart and look for correlations. Does my sleep score actually follow my bedtime? Does my mood move with my steps? It's how you finally answer questions like "why am I dead by 3pm?".

A few things on purpose: no reminder notifications, because it's meant for tracking and not for nagging you into opening it. Your data stays private, never shared or sold, and there are no ads. It works on web and iPhone and syncs between them, and it's free for up to 5 habits.
