Visualise the compounding effect of your daily habits

The only habit tracker built around the mathematics of compounding. If you're 1% better every day for a year, you are 37x better than today. The app simplifies habit tracking to just one question: "Were you 1% better today?" Just respond with Yes / No and watch your graph grow exponentially. It's designed to be minimal, privacy-first and encourages you to stick to your habits. Because habit tracking shouldn't feel like a data-entry job.

Hey Product Hunters ๐๐ผ
I'm Jugal, maker of 1% Better app.
This came out of a personal need. I tried 20+ habit tracking apps but eventually gave up on all of them in under a week. Main problem was that they feel like data entry job. So I made a clean minimal non-intrusive version of a habit tracker.
And here's the kicker: What most people don't realise about streaks is that it compounds. And compounding isn't intuitive. If you got just 1% better every day, in a year you'd be 37x better than today.
That's the math: 1.01^365 = 37.78x ๐
This app helps you visualise the compounding effect of your progress.
Practice your music, go to the gym, have a calorie deficit day or an alcohol free day, you now have a simple way to track whether you were just 1% better today and watch those tiny wins stack into exponential results over time.
In Premium version you can:
โ Add multiple trackers and answer "Were you 1% better today?" for each habit you want to track
โ Set custom notifications at pre-defined time of the day for each of your trackers
โ iCloud backup & sync
โ Export your data to CSV (in bulk and for individual trackers)
I wanted a simple app that takes <3 seconds a day, is clutter-free and works on the concept of compounding your habits rather than a static streak.
I'm planning to do more with the data-crunching to help you understand your progress better, will be releasing cool new updates soon. Would love to hear your feedback after you've tried it for yourself.
Thank you.

@holy_photonย As someone chasing small daily wins in content creation, how did visualizing the compounding curve shift your own motivation compared to plain streaks?

@swati_paliwalย the biggest shift was to understand that the standard streak model doesn't always fit the use case. It disregards all your previous compounded growth.
So when you start tracking progress in this manner, it simply rewires your mind and you value the long term outlook towards your growth instead of chasing streaks.
Simple idea, I like the focus. Are people actually sticking with the yes/no approach, or do they start wanting more detail over time?
Unmodify
@becky_gaskellย Yes, from my early testers as well as data from posthog suggests people are sticking to a quick yes/no every day. The app usage is less than 10 seconds per open but that's the whole idea of it. Will know long term data as time passes.
Love the concept.
Iโve been using this for over a week and I can say this has been the only one that doesn't overwhelm me.
I track my workouts and meditation with it and the compound math thing actually keeps me coming back.
Most tracking apps I download, use for a week, and forget. This one stuck because the daily check in takes like 3 seconds and watching the curve grow is oddly satisfying.

@thecarabinerย Thanks, let me know what all trackers do you have right now
Someone a James Clear fan huh? Love the build here. The dark + neon UI is refreshing. The compounding line graphs here are a powerful visual! Will be following this one
