iBetter · Habit Tracker

Three features and no more. iBetter, from iDaily Corp., is habit tracking stripped to a reminder each day, a calendar that shows your record, and a cabinet of more than a hundred medals handed out as achievements accumulate. You choose habits to build or break, get the nudge, and say whether you did it.

There are no charts, no tags, no integrations and no export mentioned anywhere in the listing. That is the product, not an omission. A small line of encouragement arrives with each reminder. A Pro membership exists at $0.49 a month, which is close to the cheapest subscription on the App Store.

The reminder lands at the hour you chose. You open the app, tap the habit as done or not, read a short encouraging line, and leave. Twenty seconds, most days.

The calendar is where you look back, a month of marks per habit showing how the run is going. Medals appear as milestones pass, a week, a month, whatever the thresholds are, and the listing suggests there are enough of them to keep unlocking for a long time. Whether the medals motivate or feel like clutter depends on the person; the app clearly bets on the former.

Because the big habit apps are too much. Someone who has deleted three trackers for being fiddly searches for the simplest one left, and iBetter's listing promises exactly that. The medals appeal to people who like a small reward. With 467 ratings at 4.8 the sample is small, but the people who stuck around rate it highly, which is typical of apps that do one thing.

Five screenshots for a three-feature app will mostly show the habit list, the calendar grid and the medal wall. Expect large tappable rows, a monthly calendar with filled days, and a gallery of badge illustrations that is probably the most decorated part of the interface. Productivity trackers of this scale tend toward bright, friendly colours rather than a data-dense look.

Version 9.2.2 is a surprisingly high major number for such a small app, which suggests it has been through many revisions over a long period. iDaily Corp. is a company name rather than a solo developer. Only 467 ratings, though, means the base is small and the 4.8 score could shift. App Store only on this page.

Rated 4+ and free to download. iBetter Pro costs $0.49 a month and auto-renews unless you cancel before the cycle ends; the listing doesn't say what Pro adds, so assume some limit on the free tier. No account is mentioned.

Reminders need notification permission. Nothing suggests an online requirement, ads or significant storage, but the listing is silent on all three rather than ruling them out.
