Kadō – open-source habit tracker, with non-binary habit score, for iOS

I made this small app because I wanted a habit tracker that was not only free, open source and privacy-friendly, but at the same time offer a nice "premium-feeling" experience on iOS. I used amangeldybaiserkeev/TeymiaHabit for a while, but I was not really satisfied with the user experience. Very soon I intend to propose an Apple Watch version.

Kadō – open-source habit tracker, with non-binary habit score, for iOS launched on September 6, 2026 with 79 votes, #409 of 8,093 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches.

In plain words

Kadō is an open-source habit tracker for iPhone and iPad that uses a non-binary scoring system to measure habit progress. Built with privacy as a priority, it operates offline-first, requires no account or subscription, and stores data locally on the device. The app is released under the MIT license and is designed for users who want to track habits without sharing personal information or paying ongoing fees.

    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:…

    Hi everyone I'm a Notion-addicted person and love to build my own template to cover different aspects of my life, either work or personal stuff. Once, I wanted to build a habit tracker template, and I realized Notion was not the best solution. You can organize it in a much more efficient way just with a pen and a piece of paper. However, the best tool should live on your devices and have a correct structure. Then, I decided to try to build an app using SwiftUI and SwiftData. The goal was to make it a very basic version in one month. But it took me two months. I tried to add only the core…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
