a habit

I kept failing at habit apps. I'd add 6 habits, miss a day, feel guilty, stop opening the app entirely. So I built the opposite: an app that only lets you track one habit at a time. The idea is that one habit done beats ten habits planned. Pick one thing, show up daily, and only move on when it's automatic. It's free with ads. Would love your feedback on whether this constraint feels liberating or limiting. iOS: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1549454193 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.davvie.hab...

What it does

Most habit apps start with big plans: drink water, meditate, read, journal, stretch... Then life happens. You miss a day, fall behind and suddenly you’re not tracking anything. ‘a habit’ helps you pick one habit and stick with it.

A delightfully simple habit tracker for iOS and Android. Choose one daily habit, check in, and build a streak without the overwhelm.

Most trackers ask you to change everything. a habit helps you focus on one small promise, show up today, and let consistency do the rest. Long lists turn self-improvement into another chore. One habit keeps the goal clear enough to remember and small enough to repeat. No perfect routines. No guilt-filled dashboards. Just today’s check-in and a gentle record of every time you showed up. Choose the habit that matters now. When it feels natural, you can decide what comes next. One tap marks the win. Your streak makes consistency visible without making it complicated. Choose the time. The app sends a quick nudge so you don’t forget today’s check-in. There’s no system to learn. Start with a…from ahabit.app

    Hello. I was looking for a simple and clean habit tracker. I went through a few apps but felt they were missing something. I also had some time on my hands, so decided to make my own and share it in case anyone else likes it. Some of the supported features: Streaks based, track and beat your longest streaks Fully useable offline Freezes (similar to Duolingo's streak freezes) Visual map for tracking consistency Pause the app when you need a break or will be away For anyone curious about the tech stack: - React for frontend - Dexie cloud for storage and syncing - Vercel for hosting Link:…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
