For a long time I had a small but annoying problem. I like tracking habits, but not only the yes/no kind like did I meditate today. I also care about numbers. Wake up time, steps, glasses of water, calories. For me the numbers are half of the picture, and almost no tracker treated them that way.
The journey to it
First I just used apps. Streaks for the habits, Apple Health for steps and weight, a few others for the rest. Each one fine on its own, but my progress was scattered across four apps and I never had one screen to see how my month actually went.
Then I went analog. A Moleskine, everything by hand. I loved it for a few weeks, but a notebook doesn't add anything up for you, and once you miss two days you stop opening it.
So I moved to Excel (Numbers, actually). One grid, habits and metrics together, green and red cells, a few formulas. This finally clicked, and I tracked like that for almost two years. The problem was the obvious one: painful on the phone, easy to forget when I wasn't at my laptop, and not something you look forward to opening.
The solution
Habit Pocket is that spreadsheet turned into a real app, on web and iOS. Same grid, same logic, but it works on your phone, it doesn't break when you skip a day, and it can chart any habit against any other so you can find the correlations you always suspected were there.
What it does:
Three habit types in one grid — checkmarks, numbers, and real times of day, side by side. A wake-up of 07:15 is an actual time, not a number in disguise.
A grid, not a list — group habits into sections, drag to reorder, and exclude weekdays that don't apply.
Streaks that respect rest — a skip pauses your streak instead of breaking it, so a day off doesn't punish you.
Charts that find correlations — overlay any habit on any other. Pro adds a candle chart that pairs two times (wind down and wake up) with a quality score, plus a custom chart builder for your own dashboard.
Synced and offline-first — real-time across iOS and the web, and your phone keeps working with no signal, syncing the moment you reconnect.
Private by default — your habits and values are never shared, no ads, no data selling. End-to-end encryption is on the roadmap.
