Track habits with a calm habit tracker app built around visual heatmaps, flexible habit types, analytics, and long-term patterns.
What is a habit tracker app?
A habit tracker app helps you record the routines you want to observe, build, or understand over time. Instead of relying on memory, you can log your habits and slowly build a history of what actually happened.
HabitHeat is a habit tracker app built around visual heatmaps. You can track simple done/not-done habits, log numbers, use timers, choose custom options, and add journal notes when a habit needs more context.
This makes it useful for many different routines, from meditation and reading to studying, deep work, workouts, writing, learning, or personal experiments. Over time, your daily entries become a visual habit history you can look back on.

Done / Not Done habits

Options tracking
Track mood, focus, energy, quality, or custom categories with flexible options. Useful when a habit is not just yes or no.
Number tracking
Track anything measurable. Log minutes, pages, repetitions, steps, words, or custom values and see them build up over time.
Timer tracking
Start and stop sessions to track real time spent. Ideal for meditation, deep work, coding, reading, or focused study.
Habit analytics
See totals, averages, weekday patterns, monthly volume, and changes over time. Useful when you want to understand more than whether a habit happened.
Journal entries
Add notes to your habit entries so your history keeps context, not just numbers. Useful for missed days, strong phases, or small reflections.
From daily entries to long-term patterns
Track habits in a visual overview
The habits overview is where your daily entries turn into visual heatmaps. Switch between year, month, and week views to see your routines from different distances: the full year, recent phases, or the details of a single week. Each habit can have its own color, so your history becomes easier to recognize the longer you use it.
Understand what changed
Analytics help you look behind the heatmap. See totals, averages, monthly volume, weekday patterns, time-of-day trends, and other signals that show how a habit actually fits into your life. Instead of only knowing whether you showed up today, you can look back and understand when you were consistent, where gaps appeared, and how your routine changed over time.
