Haptic: Daily Habit Tracker

This is a fantastic app! The only thing stopping me from subscribing for the yearly subscription however is the fact that there’s no dark mode. It might not be a drawback to you but for me it’s the only issue with this wonderful app.

I recently heard about Haptic while reading an interview of a friend of the developer. “Action based journaling” sounded interesting, so I decided to try it. Haptic has some wonderful design choices and a refreshing minimalist concept. Logging new actions is a breeze, and fun little touches (such as searching online for video game titles and cover art when you want to log a game being played) are hidden throughout. It is a joy to use, and the ease of logging makes me actually want to stick with the app long term. Unfortunately, this app has been abandoned by the developer. The last update was over 1 year ago. Attempt to email the contact address on the website bounced because the inbox no longer exists. Social media posts stopped over 1 year ago (and the accounts don’t respond to direct messages). It’s very unfortunate that this journal never took off. It provides a delightful experience that is lacking in so many modern apps.
