Inspiration

I find it difficult to commit, and failing discouraged me. So I built My Habits for myself first, to make consistency flexible and stress-free. Failing today does not have to mean failing tomorrow.

What it does

• Track habits with one simple checkmark per day.
• No due dates, complete dates in the past or future.
• Gentle and intelligent reminders that adapt to you.
• Turn habits into Challenges and receive awards.
• Personalize with variety of widget options, habit colors, and layouts.

How I built it

• Native SwiftUI, utilizing some UIKit components.
• iOS 18+
• SwiftData for persistence
  
• iCloud Documents for backups.
• WidgetKit for interactive widgets
  
• Custom SwiftUI containers for layout and drag and drop functionality.

Challenges

• SwiftData
• Evolving the concept of this app through its development. As it evolved, some things had to be redesigned or scrapped.
• Balancing simplicity with customization.
• Edge case testing functionality.

Accomplishments

• Native-feeling UI, interactive widgets.
• Quick onboarding.
• Robust completion system.
• Challenge badge design and flexibility.

What I learned

During this process I learned that there is a great difference between getting something done and making it ready. It's rather simple to create a feature, but then test the edge cases, consider different environments and even then perhaps reevaluate if it is even useful, is part of a much longer process.

What’s next

• Shortcuts and automation actions.
• Shared Challenges, share your progress with others.
• Journal integration, get journaling suggestions from your habits.
• Potential iPad version.
