A gentle morning ritual
Mornings that carry you.
The small things that come back — a glass of water, the keys in the bag — happen without your head having to hold them.
and on the Mac
The year
It shows what you did, never what you missed.
Cumulative, not consecutive. Miss a morning and it stays pale — nothing breaks.
Cumulative, not consecutive. Every morning you kept stays kept.
One missed morning and months of work stop counting. This is the moment people quit.
Your morning
The essentials just happen.
A short list of what comes back each morning, in the order your morning actually flows. Tick one as you pass it. Habits holds the rest — daily, weekly, monthly.
Check it. Forget it. Habits remembers.
Done differently
Habit apps have settled into a few habits of their own. Habits doesn't share them.
Nothing to sign up for — open it and start
Usually: An account before you've seen anything
A missed day fades; the year keeps filling in
Usually: A broken chain, and the count starts over
The ritual itself is free, and stays free
Usually: A paywall once you've set everything up
Plain files you can read, copy and export
Usually: Your history, in someone else's database
Your data, and we mean yours
Plain files in your own iCloud Drive. A Habits folder appears in the Files app — readable, copyable, yours to keep, with or without the app. Export everything as CSV or JSON whenever you like.
No account. No server of ours in the middle. It works offline, because there is nothing to reach.
The Habits folder in the Files app. Nothing hidden, nothing proprietary.
