●MidCozyNiche Gem

Loop Habit Tracker's scoring algorithm finally comes to native iOS, but the habit tracker space is saturated.

Strengths
  • •Non-binary habit score prevents all-or-nothing streak anxiety that binary trackers create
  • •Zero dependencies, pure SwiftUI stack means no third-party SDK telemetry leaks
  • •MIT license with CloudKit sync puts you in control of your own data backup
Weaknesses
  • •No Apple Watch support yet despite author promising it soon
  • •Habit tracker category has dozens of established free alternatives already

Post Description

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.
