Build the day you meant to have.
A run, eight glasses of water and a 25 minute focus block are three different things. BeHabitual is a free habit tracker that counts each one the way you do it, then shows you which days slip.

Not every habit is a checkbox
Most trackers give you one box per day. That works for a run and fails for water, focus time and the things you are trying to stop.
Yes or no
Done or not. Consecutive days join into a run you can see.
Count
A number to reach. Six of eight glasses is not a failed day, and it is not shown as one.
Timer
Minutes, with the timer built in. Press play and the block is counted for you.
Avoid
For what you are not doing. You confirm each day that you held, and the days add up.
Each habit also has its own days. A gym habit set for four days a week is not marked down on the other three, and a rest day you take when you are ill does not end the run.
See why you slip, not only that you did
A grid of ticks tells you what happened. After three weeks, BeHabitual starts telling you the pattern in it, in plain words.
- Which weekday goes wrong, and which habits go with it.
- What a short night does to the day after it.
- Which habit is quietly fading, before it is gone.
- Which two habits tend to happen on the same days.
The two cards here are examples with sample numbers. Yours are drawn from your own ticks, and only once there is enough to draw.
A weekly review that is already filled in
At the end of the week it is added up for you. You write one line about what got in the way and pick one change. That is the whole review.
The change you pick stays on your Today page all the following week, so it is still in front of you on Thursday.
Start with a challenge, keep the habit
Thirty days with a start and an end is easier to say yes to than forever. Each box carries its date, so a missed day looks missed.

Read every day
Any amount counts. The point is opening the book.

No sugar
An avoid habit. You confirm each evening that you held.

In bed by 11
Three weeks is long enough to feel what a fixed bedtime does.
One tick, counted four ways
Most trackers stop at the tick. Here the same tick shows up as today's list, a month you can read across, a pattern in plain words and a year in squares.
Today
What is due, sorted into morning, afternoon and evening. Consecutive days join into a run, shown beside the habit that earned it.
Month
Habits down the side, days across the top. Fill in a day you forgot. A dot is a rest day, and it never breaks the bar.
Insights
After three weeks it says, in plain words, which weekday slips, which habits go with it, and which one is fading.
Year
A square for every day you tracked, darker where more got done. The good stretch and the bad one are both visible.
Three steps, and the third one is mostly reading
There is no setup wizard and nothing to configure beyond the habits themselves.
Add the habits you want to keep
Name it, say how it is counted (a tick, a number, minutes, or something to avoid) and which days it is due. Three or four to start is plenty.
A new row appears on Today, with the right control beside it.
Tick today in ten seconds
Open the app, tap what you did, close it. A count goes up with a plus and a timer with a play button. A day you forgot can be filled in from the month grid.
The circle fills on the tap. The save runs behind you.
Read the week, then change one thing
The weekly review adds the week up: what held, what slipped, which weekday you drop off. You write one line and pick one change for the week after.
75% of what was due. Fridays are where it slips.
Five things it will not do
Said up front, because finding out in week three is worse.
No reminders
Nothing pings you. If you need a nudge, set one on your phone. This is where you record the day, not where you are told about it.
No feed, no friends
Your habits are yours alone. There is no profile, no sharing, and nobody to perform a streak for.
No pre-filling
Days after today are locked. A tracker you can fill in ahead of time is a to-do list with extra steps.
No automatic tracking
It does not read your step count, your sleep or your screen time. You log everything yourself, which takes seconds and is also the point.
No app to install
It is a website. It works on a phone and there is nothing to update, but you will not find it in a store.

What people use it for

What to do when the system stops working
- Do habit trackers work, and who should skip one7 minA habit tracker records what you did. It does not make you do it. Here is what that distinction changes, and who is better off without one.
- Habit tracker vs to-do list: they solve different problems6 minRecurring work on a to-do list turns into a guilt pile. The dividing line is simple: does the task end, or does it come back?
- How long does it take to form a habit? Nobody can tell you6 minThe 21 day figure has no real basis, and the averages that replaced it hide enormous spread. Here is a test that works for your habit instead.

Questions people ask first
Is BeHabitual free?
Yes, and there is no card involved. Everything described on this site is in the free plan while the product is in early access, including all 30 habit slots and the insights. If a paid tier arrives later, accounts created now keep what they already have.
What happens if I miss a day?
Nothing punitive. The box stays empty, the run ends there, and the monthly percentage drops a little. Nothing chases you. A day a habit is not scheduled for, or a rest day you take, is not a miss and does not end the run.
Can I fill in a day I forgot to log?
Yes. Open the month grid and tap any past day. Future days are locked, because a habit tracker you can pre-fill is a to-do list.
Does it send reminders?
No. There are no emails and no notifications. If you need a nudge, an alarm on your phone does that job better, and the tracker stays the place where you record the day.
What happens to a habit I stop doing?
Archive it. The habit leaves your daily list and every day you logged against it is kept, so your past months still read correctly.
How many habits should I track at once?
Three to five if you are starting out. The limit is 30, but tracking 20 habits reliably is itself a habit that most people have not built yet. Add more once the first few run without thinking about them.
Who can see what I track?
Only you. Your habits and the days you logged are tied to your account and isolated from every other account. There is no public profile, no sharing feature, and no feed. You can delete a habit and its full history permanently from the habits page at any time.
Start with three habits and one month.
You will know by the end of it whether this is the tracker that sticks. That is a shorter test than most things you have tried.
