Show HN: Habby – A straightforward bullet journal with habit tracking

Heya HN,

I started journaling about a year ago and recently landed in my perfect setup, a simple sentence to remember each day, combined with a flexible habit tracker. Over the holidays I turned this approach into a free expo app that I want to share.

Basically, you get: - One sentence per day, enough to remember each day. - Flexible habit tracking (still working on finding the best UX here) - No backend, no tracking, all in device (just sentry for errors) - Clean, minimal interface - Export your data - Stats to track your progress

I built this primarily for my own use, but I'd love to hear what the HN community thinks about it. Android is still in closed testing, but will be available soon.

Thanks!

Some advice for you, the landing page should have more info or at least a video of the app it self.

Hi. Seemed promising and I like the visuals but seems to not have todo lists which I thought bullet journals .. have? Also ui seems buggy, got it stuck in some intermediary state where monthly goals panel is open and completely empty and I can’t exit or do anything else. Some ui tap animations still work tho.

Will add todo lists, it's in my todo list :)

Regarding the monthly goals, will need to review the UX, might be confusing.

Thanks for the help!

Are you saying this isn’t a bug?

Ah wow, now I see. It is a bug! Thanks for reporting, will fix it!

Really like the aesthetic. I’d love to be able to set custom text for a yes/no habit. Myself and a bunch of friends do daily “RPM” - read, pray, meditate. I’d capture that at one yes/no habit

Just started using it and I really appreciate the simplicity and design! I would, however, appreciate if I could track more than 3 "habbits" (not much more, I actually want to add just one more) even if that might be a bit more tricky to implement while keeping everything as simple and sleek. I will continue using it, happy to share feedback when I have more!

Just gave it a try, looks promising for sure. What I don't get is how to add more habits. Are you only allowed to keep 3 by design or am I missing something?

Hoping to take a look at this when it's in Android, it seems neat!

The aesthetic is really nice, I like the soft color scheme.

I can't get it to work. I dismissed the beginning dialog and now touches don't do anything. It's broken. Restarting the app doesn't fix it.

Hmm very strange, let me try to find the issue!

What's your device? What do you see when the app opens up fresh then? The list of days and nothing works? you can't scroll or edit a day?

Thanks for the help!

I sent an email to the bored cat address

Lovely, thanks! just fixed it

Suggestion: put at least a screenshot on the frontpage...

Will do, thanks! Not the best at marketing :)

Nice job, like the design and idea

I use Obsidian for this
