Use case · Numeric habits
A habit tracker that tracks numbers, not just yes/no.
Yes, Habit Pocket tracks numbers: you log 5,000 steps, 8 glasses of water or 76.4 kg, each with its own unit and an optional daily target. Habit Pocket is a habit tracker that logs numbers, times of day and moods side by side, so you can see what your habits do to your sleep, mood and energy. Numbers and yes/no checks are free on iOS and the web; a daily target is Pro. Most trackers give you only a checkbox, but "did I do it?" and "how much?" are different questions.
5 habits free, forever. No credit card. Your data stays private.
Proof
Numbers live in the grid, next to the checks.
Steps, water, weight, each with a unit and an optional target, in the same view as your yes/no habits. Click a cell, type a number.
Proof
Every number gets a chart.
A numeric habit is not just a log. It is a line you can read — the latest value, the change since last time, and the trend over the range.

Four habit types
Check, count, clock, or pick.
The numeric type is one of four. Yes/No is one click. Numeric is a number with a unit and target. Time-of-day is an actual time, like a 07:15 wake-up. Select is a pick from a list you define, like a mood. Pick the right tool per habit instead of forcing everything into a checkbox.
Use cases
- Steps, glasses of water, kilometres, pages, calories — any count with a unit.
- Weight or body measurements, with the trend charted automatically.
- A daily target per habit, so a cell reads 9,540 against a goal of 8,000.
- Mix numeric, yes/no, and time-of-day habits in the same grid and the same charts.
Best for anyone who has tried to track steps, weight, or water and felt a checkbox was the wrong tool.
