Don't break the chain is the whole philosophy of everyday, a habit tracker from Everyday Growth S.L. that shows each habit as a row of coloured days on one board. The longer the run, the more the board fills in, and the app bets that watching it fill is enough to keep you going. It runs on web, iPhone and iPad, with browser extensions as well, and data syncs between all of them. Habits can be sorted, grouped by category and coloured by type, with a reverse-coloured option for habits you want to drop. Statistics put the current streak next to the longest ever, count habits completed per day and show totals and completion rates. A skip option preserves a chain through illness or holidays and makes non-daily habits trackable, and a no-weekends setting limits a habit to weekdays. Habit names accept emoji and non-Latin scripts. Reminders are included. The project is run by indie maker Joan Boixadós.
A board of coloured squares, one row per habit, one square per day. everyday, from Everyday Growth S.L. and indie maker Joan Boixadós, is built on the don't-break-the-chain idea: the longer the run of filled squares, the more you want to keep it going.
It runs in a browser, on iPhone and iPad, all synced. Habits sort, group by category and take a colour, with a reversed scheme for habits you are trying to drop. Statistics show current versus longest streak, habits completed per day and completion rates. Skip days protect a chain through holidays or illness, a weekdays-only option exists, and names take emoji and non-Latin characters.
Each evening you fill in squares, or you do it at your desk through the browser extension when the day's reading or workout is done. The board grows to the right, and the gaps are what you notice.
On holiday you mark skip rather than fail, which keeps the chain intact without lying to yourself. A weekday-only habit greys out weekends. The statistics page is for the monthly look: longest streak against current, completion rate per habit. Reminders exist for the days you forget. Because the web version stays in sync, the phone isn't the only place the board lives.
Cross-platform sync is the practical reason; most habit trackers are phone-only, and people who work at a computer want to tick things off there. The skip-day feature is the second: streak-based apps punish holidays, and this one has thought about that. Around a thousand ratings at 4.7 point to a small, loyal user base typical of indie software.
The board is the whole visual identity, and the five screenshots will show it on phone and probably on the web, with the statistics view alongside. Expect a grid of coloured cells, legible and spare, in the tradition of contribution graphs. Category colours and custom habit names with emoji give each person's board a different look.
Version 3.11.0 suggests a third major release with steady updates behind it. The developer is a named indie maker operating through a Spanish company, which usually means a responsive but small operation. A thousand or so ratings at 4.7 is a good score on a modest base. App Store only on this page, though the web version widens access.
Desk-and-phone tracking
Web, extension and iOS versions stay in sync, so you tick off wherever you are.
Streaks that survive holidays
Skip days preserve a chain without faking a completion.
Weekday-only routines
A no-weekends setting stops a work habit from breaking every Saturday.
Rated 4+ and free to download. The listing doesn't say whether there is a paid tier, a subscription or ads, so the business model is undisclosed on this page. Syncing across web and iOS requires an account.
A connection is needed for sync, though local use is likely possible between syncs. Storage and regional limits aren't mentioned. The web and extension versions mean it works on non-Apple computers even though only the App Store is linked.
Our take
A fine pick for anyone who wants a streak board they can update from a laptop as well as a phone and who likes the honesty of a skip day. Indie software with a clear idea. Skip it if you want charts, integrations or quantities rather than a yes-or-no grid, or if an undisclosed pricing model makes you hesitate.
