Habit-chi

Your virtual pet runs away if you break your habits

What it does

Habit-chi turns habit tracking into a pet-raising game. Complete your daily habits and your animated pet grows happier, eventually evolving into new forms. Skip them, and affection drops. Let it hit zero — your pet actually runs away. What makes it different: - Animated characters that actually move (not static images) - 20+ unique pets to collect and raise - Earn badges for streaks and milestones - Fully offline, no account required - Available in 22 languages

    A free minimalist daily habit tracker2024 · rdht.vercel.app · ▲158

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

    Hello HN, I built Motion, a fitness app where your virtual pet (we call it a Motmot) grows and gets stronger as you become more active. I wanted a fitness app that didn't feel like a fitness app. Most tools are either data-heavy dashboards or generic streak counters. Neither kept me moving. I thought a creature that visibly reflects your health might create a different kind of attachment.

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
