A habit tracker without the shame loop
Most habit trackers run on streak anxiety. tadoy rejects that loop. Habits are tracked, streaks are quiet and slip-safe, there's no virtual pet that suffers, and no red dot scolding you for a missed day. A day you skip is still a day.
What's in the habits module
- Daily habits — anything you want to do or not do, logged in two taps.
- Quitting — a separate frame for things you want less of, with calm count and honest logging.
- Goals — short-term and long, written or metric-driven.
- HealthKit integration — workouts, hydration, breath and meditation pull from Apple Health automatically.
- Trend view — see the shape of your week and month at a glance, not just a streak count.
- Widget on the home screen — quick log for the habits you care about most.
Streaks, kept quiet
Streaks turn into performance metrics the moment they're loud. Once a streak is on the line, people protect it — fake check-ins, lower bars, the "just touch the gym door" version of the habit. The number stays intact and the behaviour quietly hollows out.
tadoy's position: the value of a habit is in the actual practice, not in the count. There is a streak number if you want it, but it's a small chip — not a headline, not a red dot, not a notification. The trend view shows the shape of the week and the month, so missing a day doesn't erase the rest.
Quitting, separated from doing
"Try to do more X" and "try to do less Y" are different practices. Most habit apps collapse them. tadoy gives quitting its own module — a calm count, an honest slip log, a trend view that shows trajectory rather than perfection. Smoking, drinking, doomscrolling, anything you'd rather have less of.
Habits inside the daily page
Habits don't live in their own app — they sit on the daily page next to mood, journal and body. A slow week shows up next to less sleep and a heavier calendar; you can read the cause and the effect on the same page.
How tadoy's habit tracker compares
- vs Finch — Finch turns habits into a Tamagotchi mechanic where a virtual pet's wellbeing depends on your check-ins. tadoy is the editorial opposite — no pet, no shame loop, no cosmetic store.
- vs Fabulous — Fabulous is a coached habits program with a content library. tadoy isn't coaching you; it's giving you a quiet page to track what matters.
- vs Stoic — Stoic includes habits in a philosophy-led frame. tadoy is post-tradition. Read the full comparison →
- vs Apple Fitness rings — Rings are great for movement. tadoy covers habits Apple's rings don't (reading, meditation, quitting, anything custom).
Privacy
Habit logs live on your device. They aren't synced to tadoy's servers and aren't used to train any model. Full detail on the privacy page.
