Build Habits Slowly is a habit tracker designed to enhance user engagement with personal habit formation.

Why track your habits?

According to the author of Atomic Habits, the benefits of a habit tracker can be summarized as follows:

• It provides a visual cue that prompts action.
• Observing progress can be motivating; users tend to want to maintain their streaks.
• Recording achievements in real-time offers a sense of satisfaction.

This overview captures key points from an insightful article available at James Clear's website. It is a recommended read for those interested in habit formation. Please note that Build Habits Slowly is not affiliated with Atomic Habits or James Clear, but the article provides valuable insights.

What differentiates Build Habits Slowly from other habit trackers?

The motivation behind creating Build Habits Slowly stemmed from two common frustrations observed in existing habit trackers:

• Losing momentum at the beginning of a new month: Many habit trackers present progress through a monthly calendar view, which can diminish motivation when entering a new month. The absence of habit completion days from the previous month leads to a loss of visual continuity. Build Habits Slowly addresses this by utilizing a scrolling calendar "feed" that retains visibility of prior months, ensuring that users maintain their sense of momentum.
• Streaks interrupted after just one missed day: A frequent issue with typical habit trackers is the abrupt end to streaks after missing one day, which can be discouraging. Recognizing that life can interfere with daily routines, Build Habits Slowly empowers users by allowing them to set an appropriate number of "slip days" before their streaks break. This flexibility has proven beneficial, fostering motivation while accommodating the realities of human behavior.

While these concerns may seem minor, they catalyzed the development of this habit tracker app. Users may find that Build Habits Slowly effectively supports their journey toward meaningful habit formation.
