Wanted to share a milestone: my side project RoutineCanvas (a habit tracker for iOS and Android) has been live for a few weeks now and I have my first paying subscribers. Not life-changing money, but it's real. **The backstory:** I've tried basically every habit tracker out there and kept running into the same problems: most of them either lock basic features behind a paywall, or they require an account and store your data on their servers. I wanted something that respects privacy by default and has a genuinely useful free tier. **What I built:** A habit tracker with GitHub-style heatmaps, yes/no tracking for free (plus numeric and duration tracking with 25+ units in Pro), and encrypted cloud backup (Pro) that uses your own iCloud or Google Drive instead of a proprietary backend. Everything backed up to the cloud is AES-256 encrypted end-to-end. Free for 5 habits with core features (heatmaps, streaks, widgets, vacation pause, bad habit tracking). Pro from EUR 5.99/year for unlimited habits, cloud backup, and advanced features. No ads, no tracking. https://routinecanvas.com Happy to answer questions about the tech stack or the review process and get some feedback.

RoutineCanvas - GitHub-style heatmaps for your life!
