App Store Gems: Stick to your New Year’s resolutions with HabitKit on iPhone

Every day we do a tour of the internet for you to find the best apps from the App Store for your iPhone, iPad or Apple TV. OMT editor Dunke van Boekel marks another day of writing this column on HabitKit today. Perhaps this will also come in handy for you.

There are certain things you just have to repeat a few times to really get a feel for it. Take playing the guitar, you don’t learn that in one day, so you have to practice. HabitKit helps you maintain that consistency. For example, to write a piece in Obsidian every day.

HabitKit on iPhone shows you consistency

When you start up HabitKit you get the option to create a habit. You simply fill in the title, any description and choose an icon. You can also choose a color for the table, or you want a reminder at a certain time if the habit has not been tapped yet. It also helps you with how often you want to perform the activity per week or month.

Then it’s up to you to do your activity every day, open HabitKit on iPhone and hit the check mark next to the habit. Then a block is colored and you see how much progress you have made.

The idea is that you get motivated both by a lack of blocks (because it looks nicer if they are colored in) and by the ‘streak’ you build up. Of course you don’t want to lose it on your iPhone.

Simplicity is nice, but there is something more

The app is very simple to use, which is of course great. HabitKit Pro offers you a number of additional functions, but they are not free. This will cost you 1.19 euros per month, 7.49 euros per year, or 22 euros once.

In exchange for your ducats you get an unlimited number of habits to add to your iPhone (with the unpaid version you can make a maximum of 4). And you export and import all your information to a new device.

HabitKit is an App Store Gem that wouldn’t look out of place on your iPhone if you want consistency in learning from new activities.
