Visualise the compounding effect of your daily habits
The only habit tracker built around the mathematics of compounding. If you're 1% better every day for a year, you are 37x better than today. The app simplifies habit tracking to just one question: "Were you 1% better today?" Just respond with Yes / No and watch your graph grow exponentially. It's designed to be minimal, privacy-first and encourages you to stick to your habits. Because habit tracking shouldn't feel like a data-entry job.
This came out of a personal need. I tried 20+ habit tracking apps but eventually gave up on all of them in under a week. Main problem was that they feel like data entry job. So I made a clean minimal non-intrusive version of a habit tracker.
And here's the kicker: What most people don't realise about streaks is that it compounds. And compounding isn't intuitive. If you got just 1% better every day, in a year you'd be 37x better than today.
That's the math: 1.01^365 = 37.78x 🚀
This app helps you visualise the compounding effect of your progress.
Practice your music, go to the gym, have a calorie deficit day or an alcohol free day, you now have a simple way to track whether you were just 1% better today and watch those tiny wins stack into exponential results over time.
In Premium version you can: ✅ Add multiple trackers and answer "Were you 1% better today?" for each habit you want to track ✅ Set custom notifications at pre-defined time of the day for each of your trackers ✅ iCloud backup & sync ✅ Export your data to CSV (in bulk and for individual trackers)
I wanted a simple app that takes <3 seconds a day, is clutter-free and works on the concept of compounding your habits rather than a static streak.
I'm planning to do more with the data-crunching to help you understand your progress better, will be releasing cool new updates soon. Would love to hear your feedback after you've tried it for yourself.
