About HabitBox

HabitBox is a simple, private habit tracker for iPhone. You create a habit with a name, icon and color, and each completed day lights up a tile in a grid calendar so streaks become visible. Past days can be edited by tapping them.

Features include home screen widgets showing habits and streaks, custom reminders, personalized icons, colors and descriptions, dark mode, and support for both building habits and breaking bad ones. The listing says there are no sign-ups, accounts or servers, so data stays on the device.

HabitBox is published by Iaroslav Morgunov, filed under Productivity and free to download with in-app purchases. It targets people tracking exercise, water intake, reading or quitting smoking who want a lightweight app.
