Who it is for
Lazy Habit is made for people who have already tried five habit apps and uninstalled every one of them the day the streak broke. Streak mechanics work very well for some people and very badly for others: when missing one day cancels weeks, the only way out becomes stopping altogether.
Refusing to make you feel guilty is the reason the app exists.
What it does
- Six habits a day. From the easiest to the most ambitious, picked according to the energy you have.
- A creature that grows with them. Each habit completed makes it grow.
- A creature that never shrinks back. It moves on or it waits, it does not go backwards when you skip a day.
- Habits with no numeric target. You note what you want to make a habit of, with no required frequency.
- No streak, no score. A missed day resets nothing.
- Fully offline.
What it does not do
- No streak.
- No score, no ranking, no comparison.
- No garden and no mini-games. If they ever happen, they will be apps of their own.
- No artificial intelligence. Nothing analysing you and nothing advising you.
- No account, no syncing. Everything lives on the phone.
- No iPhone version. Android only.
What it looks like
Screenshots will come with the first published version.
What it knows about you
Nothing. There is no account, no server, no artificial intelligence and no tracker. There are no ads, and there never will be. Your habits are stored on the phone and only leave it if you export them yourself. The details are in the privacy policy, which is in French for now.
Frequently asked questions
Why is there no streak?
Because the streak is exactly what makes the people this app is for give up. Missing one day must not cancel three weeks.
How many habits can I set?
Six a day. They run from the easiest to the most ambitious, and nothing forces you to aim for the most ambitious on a day when you do not have the energy.
Does the creature die if I do nothing?
No. No punishment for forgetting, not even for it.
Is it the same thing as HabitGotchi?
No. HabitGotchi is a free web app from the studio, and a fuller one: garden, workshop, small games, journal. Lazy Habit is a new app, simpler, built for the phone.
Do I have to create an account?
No. There is no account, and there never will be.
Is there an iPhone version?
No, Lazy Habit only exists on Android.
The studio's other apps
Lazy Habit is one of the Lazy Mind apps. Each has its own subject, and all of them work with no account and no tracking. See also Lazy Sober and Lazy Rhythm, or all the Lazy Mind apps.
