I downloaded a habit app once, the hardest thing about using it was getting in the habit of using it, so I stopped using it.

I guess at this point, you could try another Habit app to help you use the existing one? :P

Jokes aside, I think it can take over 2 months for a new habit to be properly formed - so you'll want to stick out your habit app/gym routine/earlier wake-up times for at least 2 months before deciding if they're effective: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ejsp.674

I have the same problem as well :D, hopefully I can make the app motivational enough for users to be able to stay consistent on using it.

I have the same problem. Down to the habit hole...

I've always wanted to make my life more effective by building good habits, but I never found the motivation I needed from the Habit apps out there in the App Store. So I made my own, with milestones to reach in every habit created in the App.

I am still working to improve it, and bring useful statistics, and make it more enjoyable. Any feedback is appreciated!

If it applies, this would likely be better as a Show HN:

When someone say 'mobile app' I assume it's IOS and Android, I'm often wrong. Would it be too hard to prefix 'app' with the platform?

I agree, it can be confusing, it's something I can take with me, thanks!

Congratulations for your app.

Just recently I was looking for a habit app and currently try out GTDFaster/GSDFaster, which is a mix of GST from David Allen + 7 habits of highly effective people from Steven Corvey.

Thank you!

I read his book, Steven Corvey is very interesting!

This looks really cool. Any plans to push to Android as well?

Sadly not, I would love to reach out to as many people as possible, but the problem is that developing to two both Android and iOS at the same time makes it harder to focus and grow the product from an MVP into a real useful everyday product. And with the limited resources that makes it even harder.

What’s your business model?
Re:Show HN: I love being more effective in my life, so I mad... by adaamhn on Sunday September 29, 2019 @08:35AM (#21106666)
I went with subscription model, my goal is to put content in the app, I want a way to inform and recommend users about what "good" Habits there is to implement in life.

I appreciate any suggestion on that.
