DailyHabits - The simplest habit tracker

Hey Product Hunt! Excited to be here together with my co-founder and friend @sankalpjonna1 💡 Why we built DailyHabits Over the years, Sankalp and I tried various apps to track our habits and act on them. Inevitably we would go back to pen and paper for its simplicity. That was until last year when I designed a simple habit tracker template on a Google Sheet. While I don't know exactly how many people use it, the habit tracker template page gets 1000+ visits monthly, and I've talked to dozens of people over email and Zoom who loved using the template. So what clicked? Turns out it was 3 things: 1. the simplicity of viewing the entire month at a glance 2. setting goals instead of streaks, which are more flexible 3. the ease of use of a spreadsheet We took that and added our own observations: 1. The ability to add notes to reflect on your journey 2. Fully responsive and thus accessible via mobile 👉 DailyHabits works on three principles 1. Habits should be formed for life, until they become like brushing teeth. 2. Goals should be flexible. You don’t need to try and maintain streaks. Just set a realistic and achievable goal and try to achieve it. 3. Make notes as your journey progresses. The purpose is to self-reflect on your success/failure as you try to get better. ✅ Get started for the rest of your life, today DailyHabits has a 30-day free trial, no credit card required. After that, it's just $19/year or the equivalent of four ☕️s per year! Please give our app a try and share your feedback - good or bad - with us. We are keen on listening to it all. And we'll be around to answer any questions.

This is nice! @adityavsc Couple comments: - add coaching functionality, lot's of sports and therapy professionals could benefit from a tool like this. - add challenge mode. Fitness industry does it very well. If you can enable friends to incentivize accountability, you'll produce real value. - you've unique opportunity to do encouraging emails. Like "congrats on your first 10 days without alcohol", or "great job on going to bed early in past two days, let's make it happen today too!"

Can you invest 15 minutes a day for yourself? 15 minutes of exercise a day is not enough to warrant any significant changes in your body in terms of weight loss or muscle gain. However, it is the perfect amount of time to invest if your goal is to form an unbreakable lifelong habit. It is like compound interest. You get no short term returns, but if you wait long enough you will see exponential results. The key is consistency. Do not break your investment in the middle and have patience. If you exercise for 15 minutes a day for a whole year, it will become second nature to you just like brushing teeth or having a bath. One should not focus on streaks or unrealistic expectations like working out everyday for hours without break. A better approach is to take a day off every week or set yourself up with a goal like hitting 25 days a month where you exercise for 15 minutes a day. Chances of hitting this goal can be increased significantly if you track your habit and get a visual representation of your progress in a given month. Personally this was the reason I was excited to build DailyHabits with @hipreetam93. However, nothing would be more fulfilling than watching other people reach their goals using this product.

Good work! Hope work well!

This looks very similar to https://everday.app, at least on the surface. What do you think makes DailyHabits stand out?

What a cool minimalist approach to habit tracking! surprisingly refreshing with all the over functionality out of the way!

I love it. Why would I want to switch from Google Sheets though?

Looks minimal but in a good way.

Nice idea! I usually print such table and full it manually, but I will try your product and do it online.
