everyday is a simple and beautiful habit tracker for the Web, iOS and Android that helps you form new habits by doing a little bit every day!

It helps you break goals down into actionable achievable daily tasks. The more days you manage to chain these tasks in a row, the less likely you are to quit. So, don’t break the chain!

👋 Hello ProductHunters! Thank you 🙏 @ChrisMessina for hunting https://everyday.app! everyday is the v2 of everydayCheck, my side-project now turned into indie business! The first version got quite some love from ProductHunt (https://www.producthunt.com/post...) so it encouraged me to keep working on it and make it better for all of us with your feedback :) It also went past the $1000/mo mark in revenue, so I've decided it's time to work full time on it! My current streak of working on everyday is of 🎉 127 days and my longest streak is 💯 384 for doing 💪 50 push-ups before going to sleep! Which is yours?! 🔍 About "Every day, it gets a little easier. But you gotta do it every day, that's the hard part." everyday.app is a simple and beautiful habit tracker available on the 🌐 Web, 📱 iOS and 📱 Android. It also comes with web extensions to set it as the default new tab for Firefox and Chrome. It helps you form new habits by doing a little bit every day, no matter how little. It is a personal growth challenge to make a business out of a little side project where I basically need to do everything alone, what I enjoy (product, code), what I'm learning to enjoy (marketing) and what I'll never get good at (Yeah, I did the logo too ;D). Working on it every day is helping a bunch :P 📖 Story In early 2017, I was tired of scratching the same tasks off my daily todolist day after day. It was super frustrating to keep scratching 🏋️‍♂️ “go to the gym” or 🍏 “eat a fruit” no matter how many times I did it. There was no visualization of progress. Before I even thought about working on it, I had doodled the design of what would become the first version of everyday.app. One month later, the first working prototype was ready. After sharing it for free on reddit’s r/GetDisciplined it blew up to the frontpage with more than a thousand signups and over hundred daily users. As someone who had never made $1 for any of his little productivity apps and influenced by the bootstrapping stories on HackerNews I gave it a try. More than 30% of the users back then paid. That really changed my mindset. For 18 months, it’s been the sideproject I never had enough time to work on. Thankfully, the app itself helped me to keep working on it every day, even if it was just 10 minutes when work kept me busy, taking it to where it is now: 🚀 A minimal, beautiful habit tracker that’s both on the web and on mobile almost passively making more than 1000€ a month. As of October 2018, it deserved more of my time so I’ve decided to quit my job to make it grow. As a developer with no marketing skills, I’ll hopefully grow with it. I just need to work on it a little bit every day ;) You can read my 2017 IndieHackers interview here for more details: https://www.indiehackers.com/int... 🆕 What's new on v2? For the v2, I rebranded the app to everyday.app, a way better name, shall we agree? :P 📱 mobile apps: everyday.app comes with brand new mobile applications both for iOS and Android! every day, everywhere!! 📈 Stats: everyday.app now comes with improved stats and completion rates! ⏭️ skip & noweekend: I've added the option to skip days for those days where the habit can't be completed to add more flexibility to the streaks. Use the skip option responsibly! 🚫 Break habit: A beautiful way to display habits you want to get rid of in a descending colourful scale! It also supports emoji now 🎉🎉🎉 ;D I wrote this article in case you want to know more: https://blog.everyday.app/everyd... 💰 Revenue After a year making between $400 and $500 things changed with the release of the mobile apps at the end of this summer. Revenue kept increasing almost passively beyond the $1000 mark. I feel I have a lot of room for improvement on the marketing side that could take this app to a level where I can comfortably live from it but I'm improving on it, every day ;D It has great potential so feel free to get in touch if you think you can help me out :D 🛠 Maker community As someone who enjoys product, code and business in equal proportions I struggled to find my path until I came across the idea of indie makers. It's been a very enriching adventure so far and it's got me to meet a lot of awesome people. I like to feel I contributed to the movement with my awesome-indie github repo (https://github.com/mezod/awesome...) and by organizing the IndieHackers Barcelona Meetup! Keep building people, every day! 🚀🚀🚀 Feel free to get in touch with me at joan@everyday.app for any feedback! I ❤️ feedback! Joan

@chrismessina @everyday @philipithomas Hehe thank you Philip! There are many productive ways to use everyday but the funniest is probably to see what people draw on the test account when I share it for testing, someone once drew a space invader, let me see if I can find the screenshot :P https://imgur.com/a/D4nu7R4 such a great piece of art by an unknown artist :P

Recently discovered Everyday and after trying some others I'm sticking with this one. It has the correct amount of features I need without being complex. Good stuff.

Pros:

It's really simple, doesn't make me think.

Cons:

A Github view would be awesome.

Big Will
What do you mean by A Github view? Please explain to we the uninitiated
Iwan
really good, use it daily and helps to keep track what you do every day or every second day (like working out). fast, reliable, accessible from almost every device. great! waiting for the apple watch version.
Joan Boixadós
Maker
@iwangulenko Thanks Iwan! I'll consider the apple watch version, it sounds like a real challenge to display the colourful board on such a small screen hehe

I have always loved this type of app and a big fan of having one that is not tied to my phone (Streaks). I signed up for the trial. One thing I have learned from doing SaaS for the last 7 years is the importance of early success. You present a clear story about why I should sign up, then I sign up, and then I can't do anything until I validate my account. I would recommend making it possible to at least get started, set up a couple of goals, etc before a customer is validated.
Joan Boixadós

@scottw Very good point Scott! I do have to revisit my entire onboarding and specifically not killing the user experience during the sign up process. It's already pretty high up my todolist but getting this message is very good feedback and will make me bump it up the list :P Thank you for taking the time to share it!
Alireza Rostaminia
Hey there, I tested it and I think you should use some simple animations to loading pages, and other parts of that. Best of luck.
Joan Boixadós
Maker
@alircxa Totally agree Alireza! I need to add some animations to make the UX better! Thank you!
Michael Yoffe
I don’t like that you are obliged to sign up, and it’s a classic username/password. It’s annoying because that leads to weak passwords. Give us Google/FB connect please.
Joan Boixadós
Maker
@michael_yoffe Social logins are a must, thank you for confirming that you'd like to have that option in the app!
Michael Yoffe
iOS UI looks clunky and not native. Too bad because I really like the idea of of the increasing color intensity.
Joan Boixadós
Maker
@michael_yoffe Hey Michael, thanks for the feedback! Could you ellaborate on what makes it look clunky? Is it the design or the interactions? Adding some animations is something I should really do! Give me some time to improve it! :)
Kate Makovskaya
Great tool, guys! Will definitely try it. Could you please tell me, are there any options to track not only everyday habits but, for example, habits that I want to repeat two times a week. @joanwithyou
Joan Boixadós
Maker
@joanwithyou @kkattyes Hey Kate! Thank you :)) The app was conceived more for everyday habits but is flexible enough to allow you to use it as a paper calendar where you just mark when you do it. You can use "skips" (2 clicks instead of 1) to make the other cells neutral and have the app calculate the stats properly. However, I understand that's not the ideal solution since for two time a week habits you'd need to still skip the other 5 (which is still a good reminder). This is one of the most requested features and I'm still thinking on how could I bring it into the app without killing the minimalist approach!
Aaron D
So far I've been really enjoying this app. As a visual person and designer having the UI be so beautiful and simple actually encourages me to continue my habits. I would love though if for habits that are only a few days a week you could say how many days you want to do it rather than the specific days. For example I want to work out twice a week but those days may change week to week, but if I don't log it for two specific days my streak breaks.
Joan Boixadós
Maker
@aaron_d I'm still debating whether I want to explicitly support such habits since they complicate the UI heavily. Meanwhile, you can manually skip (triangles that appear on double tap) the days in which the habits don't apply so that you can preserve your beautiful chain and streak!
Aaron D
@aaron_d @mezood Yeah agreed! Because of the complication I thought that's probably why you didn't opt to do that. But in addition to that notifications would be difficult because you couldn't notify them on a specific day. So I use the triangles for that reason.

available from most devices, very useful, i deeply recommend it

Pros:

good design, fast, good usability

Cons:

not coming across with it before!

Delta Bravo
Looks good to me, will try !
Karine Darbinyan

Never used, but will pin it for future use

Pros:

Good design, pleasant to eye colors

Cons:

More features will be better

Brian Ball

I've been tracking pushups, daily writing, and commitments to groups I'm in. It's not my project manager but more of a baseline of some minimum things I want to accomplish. The streak is real.

Pros:

It gives you a visual checklist of things you deem important

Cons:

Not a con, but can't wait for the feature where I can input some data

in№vѦi

If you're looking to break a habit, or make a habit, I really couldn't think of a better UI for tracking your progress. Seeing the chains of colours and how long I can keep a chain going is exactly what I need to motivate me to keep going, because if I miss a day my streak resets. Brilliant execution of a daily tracking app.

Pros:

Vibrant and cheerful, very motivating

Cons:

Sometimes I forget to use it

Iñaki Mediavilla
Great app! Super easy to use
Tabish Gilani
This is amazing @mezood! 🔥🔥 I love how clean, smooth and simple this experience is Couple of points (from a marketer/growth person ;) - When I hit subscribe, it lands me to a blank page and I need to refresh or open a new tab - would be nice if there's a clear cta of what to do next (Not sure if this is just me) - when I add a new habit, the original page of extensions and tips disappears so I get confused when I'm taken to the habit page of what's next again - Unclear what the slider on the right does... - I thought subscribe was a mailing list 🤔 Would love to chat if you're looking for a growth marketer to see how I can add value
Joan Boixadós
Maker
@tabish_gilani Thank you Tabish! Would love to get in touch and learn how you think would be a good strategy to help grow everyday! 1) When you hit subscribe to pay for the app or when you first sign up? This shouldn't be happening in any case so I'll investigate what may be wrong! 2) Interesting, maybe I should make a softer transition or give some explanation of how the app works. The onboarding needs an overall improvement for sure! 3) Point taken! 4) Hehe now that you say it it's true. I initially used subscribe to make it obvious that it was a subscription and not a one time payment (transparency) but I'm sure renaming it to Premium or Upgrade might be less confusing. Thanks for the feedback! :))
Tauras Sinkus
Tried many habit trackers and this ticks the boxes for me. Clean UI, easy UX and is not overloaded with features I don't need. Well done @mezood !
Joan Boixadós
Maker
@tauras_sinkus Thanks Tauras! I really appreciate these words coming from someone making such a great product related to habits such as https://21dayhero.com/! I still need to try the planking challenge, my back would appreciate it since sitting all day in front of the computer isn't helping! :)
Ashish Gulati
Fan of your V1, maybe the biggest evangelist too, @mezood. Look forward to using this! Keep up the good work! Would love to see a comment feature too, recording some special events in the tracking journey.

@ashishgulati71 Thanks Ashish! It's awesome to have people like you who have been using the app for over a year now, working on it every day! :) A way to comment or add notes is becoming more and more important and it's a matter of time that I get to it! Just give me some more time! ;D Every day a little bit will get me there :P Keep bringing that awesome feedback!
Isaac Moore
I love it! However, it doesn’t look like the 30-day trial the website mentions is available on mobile :(
Joan Boixadós
Maker
@iamramsey Sorry about that Isaac! My communication mistake due to an impasse. It's been hell dealing with apple reviews and adapting my business model (trial) for the mobile apps, so I had to settle for a freemium model (apple pushes strongly in this direction together with subscriptions). The launch here caught me midways since I'm going to move the web application to the freemium model too to unify the whole suite into one unique business model.
