Apologies if this is uncouth, but if anyone wants the opposite of this product, check out Pixelist on the App Store: it’s a 100% free and private, extremely minimalist habit tracker. I’m terrible at marketing (my Show HN had zero response) but it’s had a growing organic user base that seems to love it.

One thing that may help is standing up a simple product landing page to describe what the product is and linking off to the app store. When I tried to search just for "Pixelist" on DDG I didn't see the app on the first page. Once I added iOS then it was findable. Your app seems really neat. It reminds me of the everyday calendar that Simone Giertz made.

Thanks so much - you’re right, I think it’s about time to finally create a product page. Also thanks for the pointer, the everyday calendar looks great!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It looks really nice! I'm looking for an app to replace my current tracking system. If I may give some feedback: when editing the name of the habit, could you please insert the habit name string into the text field? Completely retyping it is a bit cumbersome.

Wow, thank you! It’s been years since I’ve touched the app, and I would’ve sworn it already did that. Will dust it off!

I noticed that if you drag a habit to the last position, but a little bit too far, the app crashes. Excellent app otherwise, I really like the simplicity! :)

Does it have a URL scheme to note execution of habits?

My issue is that with productivity theres a big factor of "good data in good data out". If a system is too overdesigned it often gets underutilized. I used to have complicated setups for my "productivity" but honestly I've paired it down to one google sheets time tracker with a few fancy features like time predicting on projects but not much.. and google calendar.

Hey CEO2, I totally understand where you're coming from. There are a whole bunch of "productivity tools" out there. Many people try to stitch together multiple productivity apps in an attempt to improve their productivity. Floutwork is trying to solve that problem by bringing it all together into a single "work system" that helps you focus on your work, rather than the tools. It's designed to help you be productive b…

Hey Daniel, hope all is well. I completely understand and I'm sure I'll check it out at some point. I'm just saying in my experience I've yet to find a tool that justifies adding yet another tool in this space.

This is why I like Mark Forster's productivity systems. They're built around giving minimal structure to your intuition, rather than trying to comprehensively analyze your situation.

I'll have to check it out, haven't seen any of his work! I based my current system off of Cal Newports work. I basically intentionally designed and overly comprehensive and overly complicated system and paired it back until I had a good balance of inputs and outputs!

I am definitely a ghost user of hacker news, but I had to comment on this. What a great app. Great work and thank you!

Looks cool but what do the different colors mean? Hard to follow.

The app's size is 25mb,seems a bit much for minimalist app. what did you use to build it.
