Cultivating good habits can bring lifelong benefits, but forming these habits is not easy. It requires not only our own persistence and effort but also external support, such as positive feedback and supervision from others, which can provide us with ongoing motivation.
HelloHabit is a habit tracking app that supports both Android and iOS platforms. Users can log in using their Google or Apple account, or choose to use the app without logging in, as long as there’s no need for data synchronization. Unlike other similar apps, HelloHabit not only focuses on habit formation but also breaks habits down into positive habits, bad habit correction, and personal spending control. In addition, HelloHabit supports integration with system health data, with Android supporting Health Connect and iOS supporting HealthKit.
After clicking to add a habit, the app categorizes habits into broad groups such as exercise, health, mental development, and household chores. This approach not only gives us the freedom to add our own habits but also inspires us with ideas for additional habits to cultivate, preventing the user from feeling lost when facing a blank screen.
Once a habit is selected, we can customize its color. After all, a visually appealing design can be one of the motivations to keep using the app for self-monitoring. Next, we need to set the specific details of the habit, such as frequency and category. After the habit is added, you can quickly record it by swiping left on the main interface or write a note with a short swipe right. A long swipe right activates the app's built-in timer, which is very convenient for habits that require time tracking.
HelloHabit also has an interesting feature: it includes a calendar-like interface. In this interface, the app displays our added habits as color blocks along the daily timeline. As the number of habits increases, the interface becomes more colorful and engaging. For data enthusiasts, this visual representation undoubtedly enhances motivation to keep using the app.
It is important to note that HelloHabit is a paid app, and the annual subscription or one-time purchase price is relatively high. If you are truly interested, you can first download it and enjoy a seven-day free trial. Afterward, you can decide whether to subscribe or purchase.
