Behavioural research is the framing for Haby. Rather than just asking which habits to track, it suggests ways to start small and scale up, offers replacement strategies for habits the user is trying to drop, and adapts goals as progress is logged. It's for people who want some guidance along with the checkboxes. Tracking supports custom units and volume targets, so a habit can be 20 pages or two litres rather than a yes or no. Reports come weekly, monthly and yearly, with a year-at-a-glance view and a diary for notes. Multiple reminders per habit, home and lock screen widgets, dark mode and cloud sync cover the practical side, and a curated list of habit ideas and daily quotes are there for anyone who wants them. The feature list is described as Premium, so expect a subscription for the full set.
Haby brings behavioural science to the checkbox. Beyond listing habits, it suggests starting small and scaling up, offers replacement strategies for habits you're dropping, and adapts goals as you log. App Forgeron frames it as guidance alongside tracking rather than tracking alone.
Units and volume targets let a goal read as 20 pages or two litres, not a tick. Weekly, monthly and yearly reports include a whole-year grid, and a diary holds notes. Several reminders per habit, widgets for the home and lock screens, a dark theme and cloud sync handle the practical side, plus curated habit suggestions and a daily quote. The full feature set is labelled Premium.
Setup asks what you want to build or drop, then proposes a modest starting target rather than accepting an ambitious one. Each day you log a quantity, not just a yes, and the goal creeps upward as you keep hitting it. A habit you're quitting comes with a suggested replacement to reach for instead.
The year view fills in like a heat map over months. Reminders can stack, so a water habit pings at intervals. A quote appears daily for those who want one.
Searches for a habit app with adaptive goals, or one that explains how to start a habit rather than just counting it, lead here. The custom units appeal to readers and drinkers of water. Its rating base is modest, so it's found by people looking past the top few results in the category.
Five screenshots are listed, and the year-at-a-glance grid is a likely highlight along with the habit list and a widget. Dark mode is confirmed. Trackers with volume targets usually show progress rings or bars per habit rather than plain checkmarks, so expect that. The input doesn't describe the palette.
Version 1.1.0 marks an early stage; 849 ratings at 4.7 is a small but encouraging base. App Forgeron LLC isn't described further. Cloud sync is mentioned, which is more than some rivals here offer. Only the App Store is linked on this page, so other platforms aren't confirmed.
Starting small and scaling
The app proposes a modest first target and raises it as you keep succeeding.
Quantity-based goals
Pages, litres or minutes can be logged as numbers rather than a single tick.
Year-at-a-glance progress
The annual view shows the whole year's consistency on one screen.
Rated 4+ and free to download, but the listing labels the feature list Premium, so a subscription for the full app is the likely model; the price and free-tier limits aren't given. Cloud sync implies an account or Apple ID.
Daily logging should work offline with sync catching up. Ads, storage and regional availability aren't covered. The behavioural guidance is the developer's own curation rather than a cited programme, so treat it as sensible advice, not clinical method.
Our take
Good for someone starting from zero who wants the app to set realistic targets and raise them gradually, and for anyone tracking quantities rather than ticks. The Premium label on nearly everything means the free tier may be a demo. Experienced trackers who already know their routines won't need the hand-holding.
