Daily Habits - Habit Tracker

Making progress social is what sets Daily Habits apart from the usual tracker. Friends or family join a group where updates get posted and chatted about, so a streak, or a lapse, is seen by people who'll comment. A habit library gives starting points for anyone who won't configure everything from zero.

Scheduling is flexible, each habit takes its own reminders, and specific settings exist for breaking a bad habit rather than building a good one. A Today widget and an Apple Watch app log check-ins, finished habits go to an archive, and Pro adds calendar sync, a passcode lock, deeper statistics and device sync.

A normal day involves ticking off a handful of habits from the widget or the watch, then perhaps glancing at the group to see who else kept up. If someone in the family is quitting something, their bad-habit counter runs alongside your good-habit streaks.

The chat gives the app a bit of a group-text feel around a shared goal, which works best with two or three committed people. Statistics show how the week went, and when a habit sticks for good you archive it so the list stays short.

People look for this when solo tracking hasn't worked and they want someone else to see the chart. The group and chat features address that directly, and the bad-habit settings attract those trying to stop something rather than start it. With 299 ratings and a 4.4 average it's a small, moderately rated app; the social features are the reason to pick it over bigger names.

Five screenshots are listed; a Productivity tracker with social features will show the daily list, a group feed, the statistics screen and probably the Apple Watch face. Trackers of this sort use coloured circles or checkmarks for each habit and a progress ring for the day, and the group view will look like a lightweight messaging thread.
