This looks great! I use Loop Habit Tracker¹ on Android which at a glance seems similar. I wish someone could pair a habit tracker with a CalDAV task tracker like jtx Board². ¹ https://f-droid.org/packages/org.isoron.uhabits ² https://f-droid.org/packages/at.techbee.jtx

Highly recommend Habit. Been my go to since the past 4y or so

I don’t mind AI-written code. But an obviously generated README.md is such a turn off. If you don’t take the time to explain what your software does in your own words, I struggle to trust that it’s been thought about much at all.

If the app is good the app is good. End of discussion Why do you care how it was made? What’s next? It matters what country or city the developer is from or ahah language it’s written in or what machines were used or how the electric was sourced Who cares!

A README is one of the most important pieces of a project, if one can't even advertise their own project with their own words, it signals low effort.

After all, the people visiting one's repo on GH likely have access to the same AI tools, too.

I love this. My only gripe is that I wish habit trackers were more evidenced-based for some real accountability. "Work out 25 minutes" is such an easy habit to fudge by showing up late to the gym, but if you know 22 minutes can't get you the tick mark, you do the extra work required to create the space in your schedule. With vision models, evidence-ing should be easy, but what's the best way to make it privacy first…

Ultimately I don't think you will ever be able to rely on technology to validate authenticity . Even if you had a live human expert checking you off, you could still feel you didn't really give your all even though they were satisfied. There is no such thing as being able to objectively verify that you fully engaged in the spirit of a thing. I also think your thinking on tick marks is backwards. If you're struggling…

Indeed, "I wish there was tech to stop me from lying to myself" is just not a tech problem.

I’m releasing something similar but auto-logged based on Apple Health history.

Feel free to email me via this site if anyone wants to TestFlight it.. I’m currently rebuilding the UI but the next release should be available for testing in the next week.

You're fighting a ghost here, no one's lying to themselves. I encourage you to read some of the other comments in the thread (including mine) to get to the nature of the problem.

Oh thanks! Do you have a link? I searched but a lot of Habit apps are returned.
