Hello. I was looking for a simple and clean habit tracker. I went through a few apps but felt they were missing something.

I don't like habit streaks. They backfire as soon as the inevitable happens and I miss a day. To solve that, I created a "Momentum" system that lets you bounce back and recover after a broken streak.
