GoodHabits 3.0 is an iOS habit-tracking tool designed to help users build lasting routines by focusing on a single habit at a time. Breaking away from the popular 21-day myth, GoodHabits utilizes University College London research which shows that a median of 66 days is actually required for a new behavior to become automatic.

Unlike traditional habit trackers that turn into overwhelming dashboards highlighting your failures, GoodHabits is built with real life in mind. Featuring a unique grace day system, if you happen to miss a day, you can still log it until the end of the next one. This human-centric design acknowledges that you are a person, not just a streak.
