Days Strong: Quit & Habits

Days Strong counts two things: the days you didn't, and the days you did. What you stopped, what you started, what it is for, and how you are sleeping. FORGETTING NEVER COSTS YOU A STREAK Most trackers quietly punish you for not opening them: a day you did not log becomes a day you failed. Not this one. • Every past day stays editable, for ever. A week later or a year makes no difference. • Three answers, not two. Done, slipped, and an amber "I couldn't" for illness or travel. Amber days are skipped by the maths: they cannot break a streak or drag a percentage down. • Or let it count every day for you, so something you simply keep needs no tapping and only a slip breaks it. • Owning a slip is one tap, and plain rather than alarming. The run you had and your best ever both survive it. EVERY HABIT, EVERY DAY, ON ONE SCREEN The Habits tab draws each one as a wall of days, one under the other, so the one going wrong is obvious without opening anything, and any day can be put right. See them as cards if you would rather, drag them into your own order, and group them into sets. Twelve months of squares on one page with the figures underneath, and a week view that puts your sleep beside the days you kept. WHAT YOU STOPPED A live counter, down to the second, backdated to when you actually stopped. What you have not spent, and what you have not consumed. A recovery timeline showing what your body is doing about it and which phase you are in today, each claim naming its source. For gambling, Learn carries the UK self-exclusion schemes, the Gambling Helpline and a letter for closing an account. Days Strong registers you for none of them. WHAT YOU STARTED Current streak, best ever streak, and one tap to record today. Every day, chosen weekdays, or a number of times a week, which says where you stand: two of three this week, one more by Sunday. Countable habits too: eight glasses of water fills up as the day goes on. A badge for every seven days you hold, across every run, so a slip can never take one back. SLEEP, AND THE HOUR BEFORE IT Type in a night yourself, or let Days Strong read it from Apple Health. See the whole month, and open any night for what each stage of sleep is for. It will not grade you: normal ranges are wide and one night says little. The wind-down works backwards: say when you must be up and how much sleep you want, and it says when your evening should end. Sleep is not a habit here. No streak, no badge, no way to fail. WHAT IT IS ALL FOR Goals, because the counting is not the point. A money goal fills from what your habits no longer cost you, so the cigarettes you did not buy turn into the thing you wanted. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN AND LOCK SCREEN Three home screen sizes and two lock screen ones, each pointed at a habit you choose. They count on their own, so the figure is right without opening the app. Reminders carry your own number rather than a nudge: what you kept, and what it is worth. IT NEVER LEAVES YOUR PHONE There is no account to make and no server to sign in to. Everything you enter stays on your own device. No analytics, no trackers, no third-party code, no ads. The optional Apple Health connection reads your step count and your sleep and nothing else. Days Strong keeps an automatic backup in your own iCloud, and your history writes out as a file you can read back elsewhere. FREE, AND ONE PAYMENT IF YOU WANT MORE Three habits and two goals are free for as long as you like. £4.99 once unlocks unlimited habits, goals and the money that feeds them, and the widgets. One payment, not a subscription, and never becomes one. Apple Health is free, and nothing you have recorded is ever behind the payment: seeing, editing and exporting stays free whatever you decide. Health timelines are general guidance, not medical advice. Stopping some substances suddenly, alcohol above all, can be dangerous, and the app says so before showing you anything. Talk to a doctor first.
