App Profile: Habit Tracker - HabitPal

I am a productivity app junkie & have just started using Atomic. Recently I’ve been in a habit slump and in need of a new primary tracker. I have several that I use for different things - I like to compartmentalize my life, but have felt the need to get a new main one for the important stuff. A tall task for a picky compulsive logger like me. My previous favorite tracker is Habit tracker by Alain caltieri (iOS), and it shares relative obscurity with Atomic. I don’t know why searching google or app stores makes it so difficult to find what you’re looking for! Anyway, this app has all the features and customizations you can imagine. It doesn’t look like it has as many stats as the over marketed habitify, but that seems overrated. It’s more important to be motivated from day to day than to be reminded of past performance IMO. As I primarily work from my iPad, I was looking for a cross platform iOS app, so narrowed it down between habitfy and Atomic. I spent a lot of time and energy researching and considering different apps and features. Believe it or not, the final decision for me was the ability to hide completed tasks. I really prefer tasks to disappear once completed so that I can move on and forget about it until it’s due again - it’s what is so great about Things. You get that clean slate feeling. I’m not sold on the rewards or the homepage quote, but it’s not a deal breaker, either. Perhaps I’ll update my review after I use the app more. Thanks!

i’m neurodivergent and i’ve been looking for a habit tracking app that would actually help me stick to habits. i came across this app by chance and i’m so glad i found it. it has all the basic features of a habit tracker plus it’s visually appealing, syncs across my phone, watch and iPad instantly, and it’s very customizable. the only thing that would make this app better is if i can add widgets and add complications to the watch face (i use modular and it isn’t available on there but apparently they are available on other watch faces). another thing would be the ability to turn off the quotes or add your own quotes and background pictures. otherwise this app is perfect for what i need. if you can add the complications and widgets, id totally upgrade to 5 stars! edit: they’ve added the complication to the modular watch face and they’ve been so helpful and responsive with smoothing out the issues. i love this app

This app does exactly what I want it to. At first I thought the sync between my phone and laptop wasn’t working so I deleted it but left a comment as to why. The developer reached out and walked me through what I was doing wrong and it works perfectly. I then made a request for a new feature (in-app timer) and lo and behold, it’s already there! They’ve got a loyal user in me…now it’s just up to me following through with my goals! 🙃
