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.
- Forgiving heatmap — a whole year in one quiet view; a slip doesn't wipe what you've built.
- 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 one's on the line, people protect it with fake check-ins and lower bars while the behaviour quietly hollows out. tadoy's position is that the value is in the practice, not the count: there's a streak number if you want it, but it's a small chip, never a red dot or a notification, and the trend view shows the shape of the week so a missed day doesn't erase the rest. Habits sit on the daily page next to mood, journal and body, and "do more X" is kept separate from "do less Y" — quitting gets its own module with a calm count and an honest slip log.
Goals, beside the habits
Goals sit next to habits but aren't habits — the bigger things with a why attached, not a daily checkbox. Each carries a theme and a note, runs short (this week) or long (this year), and shows its progress without a streak to protect. It stays on the same page as the small daily moves toward it.
How tadoy's habit tracker compares
Each of these does something tadoy doesn't and isn't trying to.
- Finch — habits as a Tamagotchi mechanic where a virtual pet's wellbeing depends on your check-ins. tadoy is the editorial opposite.
- Fabulous — a coached habits program with a content library. tadoy isn't coaching you.
- Stoic — habits inside a philosophy-led frame. tadoy is post-tradition. Read the full comparison →
- Apple Fitness rings — great for movement. tadoy covers habits the rings don't — reading, meditation, quitting, anything custom.
Privacy
Habit and goal logs live on your device — not synced to tadoy's servers, not used to train any model. The same on-device posture as journal, mood, body and habits. Full detail on the privacy page.

Common questions about habits
- So no streaks at all?
- There's a small streak chip if you've kept it up, but it's quiet — no red dot, no shame notification, no broken-streak banner. The trend view is the headline.
- Can I track quitting?
- Yes. The quitting module is a separate, calm frame.
- Are there goals?
- Yes — written or metric-driven, short or long.
- What happens if I miss a day?
- It's logged honestly. The streak chip stays quiet and slip-safe, the trend view keeps the month's shape, and nothing scolds you.
