Story
Launched in late 2021 after reading several books about habit formation and a 1-year experiment to understand how habits really work.
I was curious about Flutter (pretty new technology back then) and wanted to learn how to make good UI/UX.
The app went through several design iterations and grew audience to 18K. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a sustainable monetization model, so in 2022 I shifted focus back to consultancy work and eventually shut down the project in early 2025.
Early design iterations
Initial paper sketches
First design iteration. Bettre → Yourhabit (due to a trademark issue)
Conclusion
Overall, it was a great journey. I built a multiplatform app that allowed people to interact and complete challenges together. Along the way, I also wrote dozens of articles about habit formation and app development.
Even though the app is removed from the App Store and Google Play, it's still used by 10+ users every day. And I know based on user feedback that it helped dozens of people get back on track through habit formation. Karma ++

Amazing app! very well designed, I've used many habit tracking apps but I would say this is one of the best I've tried. The biggest thing that is missing for me is home screen widgets so we can tick off a habit straight from our home screen. Keep up the good work!

I love the app, no ads no premium no nonsense. Just a really good app, the creator also wrote a couple of great blogposts.
