Frictionless habit-tracking on iOS (pokeable from your text editor too) launched on March 1, 2021 with 25 votes, #1,362 of 3,696 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 5 years on.

In plain words

This iOS app provides habit tracking with minimal friction, allowing users to log habits directly from their text editor as well as through the app itself. Launched in 2021, it's designed for people who want to maintain streaks and monitor their routines without complicated interfaces or setup processes. The integration with text editors distinguishes it from typical habit-tracking apps by letting users update their progress from wherever they're already working.

From the sources

UPDATE: Flat Habits now has its own page at flathabits.com . I've been wanting org to keep track of my daily habits for a little while. The catalyst: reading James Clear's wonderful Atomic Habits (along with plenty of lock-down inspiration). As much as I live in Emacs and org mode, it just wasn't practical enough to rely on my laptop for tracking habits. I wanted less friction, so I've been experimenting with building a toy app for my needs. Naturally, org support was a strict requirement, so I could always poke at it from my beloved editor. I've been using the app every day with success. The habits seem to be sticking, but equally important, it's been really fun to join the fabulous world…from xenodium.com
