This issue affects individuals who are trying to build and maintain habits but find the current apps overwhelming and demotivating.Sources (1)
I’ve been working on a small project called Nitya, a habit tracker with journaling built in. One thing I noticed while trying many habit apps is that they often become complicated after a while. Too many features, too much pressure around streaks, and eventually I just stop using them. While building this, a few things became clear to me: - Simplicity matters more than features - Missing a day shouldn’t feel like failure - Reflection (journaling) actually helps with consistency The goal with Nitya is basically: track habits, keep routines organized, and optionally write a quick journal entry for the day. Still learning a lot while building it. Curious what others here think — what usually makes you stop using habit tracker apps? App link if anyone is curious: https://linktr.ee/habit.tracker
