Most habit trackers punish one bad day. Miss once and the streak reads zero, and that number stops being a record of your effort and becomes a verdict.
HabitFocus uses momentum instead: a score out of 100 that decays but never resets. A missed day costs about four points, a good day is worth roughly twice that, and coming back after a week away is never a fresh start from nothing.
Then it does the part other trackers leave out. Building a habit usually means not doing something else, and that something else is on your phone. A habit that needs concentration can start a focus session: the apps you chose go quiet, and opening one shows a calm reminder of what you were doing. "Open anyway" always works instantly, with no countdown. A tool, not a warden.
MOMENTUM, NOT STREAKS
• A 0–100 score per habit that reflects your real pattern
• Skip a day honestly and it costs nothing; take a break for a trip or a sick week
• Partial credit: four of eight glasses of water is not a failure
• Hold the check circle to finish a count habit in one tap
A COACH THAT MAKES HABITS SMALLER
• Notices a habit that has stopped happening and offers one smaller change: a lower target, a shorter session, a better reminder time, or rest days. One tap to accept
• On phones with Gemini Nano the wording is smoothed on-device
MOOD, AND A PLANT
• Tap your mood and energy each day, and see which habits go with your better days
• A plant that grows with every check-in. A quiet day lets it rest; it never dies
FOCUS
• Pick how long and which apps go quiet, or start from the quick settings tile
• Scheduled windows: "No phone for the first hour", "Deep work 9 to 11"
• See whether focus sessions actually help you finish your other habits
GOALS
• A why, a date and a picture of what you are working toward
• Milestones with dates, and the habits that get you there side by side
REMINDERS AND WIDGETS
• One per habit at a time you pick, and none if it is already done
• Or tie one to a paired Bluetooth device: "when I get in the car"
• Home screen widgets for your momentum and what is still due
Also: a year of completions on one screen, your strongest and toughest weekdays, and screen time per app, including which app owns your late nights.
EVERYTHING INCLUDED, WITH QUIET ADS
No habit limit, no locked history, no subscription. Ads pay for the app: a small card marked "Sponsored" at the very bottom of Stats, a habit's page and Settings. No ads on Today, during focus, on the pause screen, on goals, in notifications or widgets. No full-screen or video ads, and none for your first three days.
YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE
No account and no server of ours. Your habits, goals, history and screen time are stored on this device and never uploaded. Goal pictures come from Android's photo picker. Export everything to a file whenever you like. Our own code makes no network requests; the internet is used by the ads library, and by Google's on-device AI library for its own diagnostics.
PERMISSIONS, AND WHY
• Usage access — for the Screen time tab. Optional
• Display over other apps — the pause reminder during a session. Optional
• Notifications — reminders and the session timer
• Alarms and reminders — so a 9am reminder arrives at 9am. Optional
• Nearby devices — only for Bluetooth reminders. No scanning, no location
HabitFocus is for one person: you. It is not parental control or employee monitoring, and there is no way to send your data to anyone else.
Build habits with momentum, not streaks. Pause distracting apps while you work.
