Super Habit — Github-like streak calendars π¨π»✅ for your life habits! π―ππ
“ Hey Product Hunters! π Welcome to the 2,497th habit-tracking tool launch you’ll see on PH this year! I feel so unique, a true innovator π Second app I launch on PH since I left my iOS dev job. I have this crazy idea of trying to join the club of digital nomads living from their products. Currently at $150 a month, it looks like I should get there within the next 7 decades, which is pretty exciting π΄. I’ve had to start freelancing to pay the bills, but I still try to find time to build my own apps. π‘ Idea A year ago, I decided that if I wanted to be able to play the piano πΉ by the time I’m 80, I’d better get started. We tend to burn out if we do too much at once π€― and give up if we focus too much on results π₯, so I simply committed myself to play 15 minutes a day, every single day where I had a piano at hand. So you know how it goes: obvsioulsy, I wanted stats. So I printed a paper calendar π
that I stuck to my wall, ✘ crossed off each day during months, wondered if an app could replace it π€, and -believe it or not- was not able to find an app that showed me an entire year of habit on a calendar that would fit entirely on my π€³ iPhone screen! π Building So of course, I built one! Manipulating dates is a dangerous task and I spent 100+ hours π± making sure this worked perfectly regardless of your time zone. So I’ll need quite a lot of sales before this makes any financial sense. But hey, makers gonna make! π The app lets you track daily habits and creates yearly calendars. It calculates your current and best streaks, and your completion rate per year. There are no weekly habits for now but I want to add them later on: I’d love to hear any idea on how this could look on the calendar and how you'd like completion to be calculated. π What do I get for free? The app is free and everyone can track two habits for life. A 5$ one-time fee unlocks unlimited habits, dark mode, and supports my indie dev challengeπ. π€ One more thing The first app I launched got almost 200 upvotes here, got me a few hundreds downloads, ended up top 10 of the day and gave me a HUGE motivation boost. So I’ll make use of this opportunity to THANK YOU ALL for your support last time! π€π Thank you PH, Kevin PS: Fellow hunters on Android, to anticipate the dreaded question, the app is unfortunately not available on Android. As a solo developer with limited time, I have to focus on one platform at the moment. ”
