A cozy habit tracker for iPhone and iPad

The habit tracker that lets you have a bad day.

A rest day keeps your run going. Biscuit keeps you company. And when a habit finally sticks, it gets to leave the list.

A rest day keeps your run going.

An illustrated room from the app, a few weeks in: an armchair, a low bookshelf, a monstera, a reading lamp and a braided rug, with Biscuit the cat on the rug.

A Nook, a few weeks in.

The real Today screen: Walk and Stretch, with Stretch on a 3 day run.

The real one.

The light in here follows your clock, the way it does in the app.

It is Thursday. Try the Rest day button.It is Thursday. Tap Rest day.

Thursday was a rest day. The run carried on.

Coming soon to iPhone and iPad.

On Android? Google asks for twelve testers, for two weeks, before Harubo can come out there. Be one of the twelve.

Wall Clock. Runs four minutes kind.
Monstera. Grows one leaf a year. No rush.
Blue Armchair. One cushion, positioned with enormous deliberation.
Braided Rug. Every colour of a good autumn.
Reading Lamp. Warm light, no overhead glare.
Low Bookshelf. Low, wide, and full of loud spines.

A hard day still counts.

There are three ways through one, and none of them breaks your run.

Momo the capybara asleep in a striped hammock in a quiet room. — Momo “A day off is a day, still.”

Rest day

Tap it on any habit, today or a past day from the calendar. The run neither grows nor breaks. On a truly rough day, one button rests everything still open, “Rough day? Rest the other 2”, and then the app leaves you alone.

3 day runstill going

Myrtle the tortoise on a floor cushion reading one small book beside a tall stack of books. — Myrtle “Slow counts double in the long run.”

The smaller version

Most habits can have a floor. Read 10 pages, or 3 on a hard day. The run survives, and the charts count it as half, so they stay honest.

3 of 10 pagesthe smaller version

Bramble the hedgehog wrapped in a blanket by a rainy window, holding a mug of cocoa. — Bramble “Checked it twice. It counts.”

Cozy days

Every seventh perfect day saves one, up to three. Miss a day and one is spent for you, without asking.

covered, without asking

What the app says the next morning:

“A cozy day covered yesterday for you. Your run is still going. Every seventh perfect day earns another.”

Away for a while? Pause a habit for a few days, a week or a fortnight, and coming back is never scolded. There is even a badge for taking a day off on purpose.

Made by one person.

The point was never the tracking. It was the habit.

So in Harubo, a habit can finish.

Some habits get to finish.

The goal is a shorter list.

Ready to stand on its own?

Kept 54 of its last 60 days. It may not need watching any more.

Graduating keeps every day of its history, takes it off the daily list, and stands a plaque for it in the room. It can always come back.

Graduate it

Graduate Walk?

It leaves the daily list and its plaque goes up in the room. The history stays, and bringing it back is one tap in Settings.

Walk is yours now

54 days kept, Mon 20 Jul to Thu 17 Sep. The plaque is in the room.

Lovely

Biscuit the cat, standing on a stool, setting a graduation plaque onto a wall shelf beside a small potted seedling. — The plaque is in the room.

Sixty days in, it asks.
Once a habit has had 60 days, with at least 20 of them due and a habit strength of 85 or more, Harubo offers to let it go. An unbroken streak is not needed.
The app asks: Ready to stand on its own? Kept 54 of its last 60 days. It may not need watching any more.
Say yes, and it leaves the list.
It keeps every day of its history, and bringing it back is one tap in Settings.
Then: Graduate Walk? It leaves the daily list and its plaque goes up in the room. The history stays, and bringing it back is one tap in Settings.
The plaque is in the room.
Graduation Plaque. For a habit that no longer needs the book.
Walk is yours now.
A plaque goes up in your room. It is not in the shop. There is one way to get one.
Walk is yours now. 54 days kept, Mon 20 Jul to Thu 17 Sep. The plaque is in the room.

The app’s own words. Example numbers.

And a quiet badge, if you like that sort of thing: Stands On Its Own.

Doris the pigeon standing on the sill of a round window with a tiny suitcase, while Biscuit the cat looks up from a braided rug.

Doris, arriving.

“Visit 1 of 4, and Doris moves in for good.”

Two move in today. Six more come to visit.

Biscuit and Rusty live with you from the first day. Once a week, someone else turns up in the Nook with a small ask, like “Keep at least one habit on 4 different days this week.” After four visits, about a month, they move in for good.

Tap anyone to hear another line.

Here from day one

Supervises from a distance. Has opinions about your posture.

“Noted. I was watching.”
Here from day one

Believes you can do it. Has believed this the entire time.

“YES. That one. That was the one.”

Visits first

Unbothered. Moisturised. Quietly keeping track.

“Mm. Done.”
Visits first

Turned up uninvited. Stayed. Genuinely useful now.

“Excellent. Do you have any bread.”
Visits first

Arrived on a good tide. Finds everything delightful.

“Oh, lovely. That felt good, did it not?”
Visits first

Worries just enough for both of you. Checks things twice.

“Oh good. Oh that is good. I was only slightly worried.”
Visits first

Up all night anyway. Takes notes. Rarely impressed, secretly proud.

“Noted, at whatever hour this is.”
Visits first

Ninety years of doing things slowly and never once missing.

“Slow counts double in the long run.”

88 lines between them, written so you could tell who is talking from one line. Not one of them is about what you missed.

A room that fills up as you turn up.

Every habit you keep earns crumbs: 4 for a habit, 10 for a perfect day, and a 25 minute focus session is worth 5. Crumbs furnish the Nook. In this version they are only ever earned, never bought.

The same room, finished: rug, armchair, low bookshelf, monstera, reading lamp, wall clock, bunting and a side table with a mug, with Biscuit on the rug.

The Morning Room, furnished.

Day one: an empty room, and Biscuit.

The Morning Room is free. The first thing you can afford, a 30-crumb watering can, comes on day two or three. Then a rug, and the first rug you place also sits under your companion on the Today screen.
- Watering Can. “Dented in a way that suggests stories.” 30 crumbs
- Braided Rug. “Every colour of a good autumn.” 80 crumbs
191 things for the room, and each one has a line.

Ten rooms and four paint colours to set them in.
- Blue Armchair. “One cushion, positioned with enormous deliberation.” 220 crumbs
- Low Bookshelf. “Low, wide, and full of loud spines.” 160 crumbs

It droops. It never dies.

The plant grows one notch for every day you keep at least one habit, and blooms at 21. After a quiet couple of days it droops, and it perks up the moment you do anything.
- Day 4 of 21
- A little droopy after a quiet couple of days. It perks up the moment you do anything.
- Fully grown! This one is finished. Pot it for the shelf and a new seed goes in.
That is the room from the top of the page.

Your turn.

In the app you can hold anything, even Biscuit, to drag it, and tap anything to see when it arrived: “Here since Tue 4 Aug. Read was 16 days strong.” (an example) Nothing you do here is saved or sent.

Soft to look at. Honest with the numbers.

Under the soft look is a real engine: streaks, habit strength, a year heatmap, weekday patterns, and which habits move together once there are 14 shared days to go on. It would rather leave a gap than guess, and it says nothing about a habit’s strength until there are five days to go on.

Remember Thursday? The Notebook noticed too, and offers one fix.

FROM THE NOTEBOOK

Stretch has not happened on a Thursday for three weeks running.

Thursday might be the wrong day for it.

Tap Drop Thursdays and Stretch skips Thursdays from then on. Tap Leave it and the suggestion stays gone for weeks.

A demo on this page. Nothing is saved or sent.

At most one suggestion a week, and only for a habit you are otherwise keeping.

142 days kept. 13 rest days. Not one of them broke anything.Days kept, and rest days that never broke anything.

A made-up half year of Read, for this page. Rings are rest days. Pale squares are the smaller version.

Hide the numbers

Keeps the marks, the heatmap and the garden. Puts away streak counts, percentages and scores. Nothing stops being recorded. It works on this page too.

Real screens from the app. Nothing staged for the page.

Habit charts that never invent a number.
Streaks that forgive a rest day.
A focus timer, and somewhere calm to sit.
Nine scenes, all free. Your companion gets drowsy while you work.
A journal that keeps no score.
None of this is counted, scored or shown to anybody.

Questions, answered plainly.

What happens if I miss a day?

Nothing here is ever framed as failure. Tap Rest day and the run keeps going. Do the smaller version and it still counts. And a cozy day, saved from a good week, covers a missed day without asking.

Is it free?

Yes. This version is free, with no ads and nothing to buy. Crumbs, decor and paint colours are earned by using the app.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up, no sign-in and no server. It opens straight onto today.

Where does my data live?

On your phone. Your habits never leave it. You can export everything as a file any time, bring it back later, or erase it all. Crash reports are the one thing that can be sent, and you can switch them off in Settings.

Can it stop counting at me?

Yes. Hide the numbers, in Settings, puts away streak counts, percentages and scores. The marks, the heatmap and the plant stay.

I go to bed late. Which day does a 1am tick count for?

Yours to choose. The day can turn over at midnight, 1am, 2am or 3am.

When can I get it?

Soon, on iPhone and iPad. Tap Tell me when it’s out to write in.

Is it on Android?

Not yet. Google asks a new app to be tried by twelve people for two weeks before it can come out. If you would like to be one, write to support@harubo.app with Android tester in the subject.
