This might be exactly what I've been hoping someone would build! @rrhoover and I were recently talking about this. I want a habit tracker that incorporates automatic reminders and a thread of journaling for each habit.
I can't tell from the landing page whether habits get their own journal thread, or if it's more of a note on each checkin. What I'm looking for is snowballing notes, thoughts on a topic, etc to encourage (and make it easier to see) personal growth as opposed to "just" habits. Anyone know?

@rrhoover @staringispolite Thanks Jonathan! You can write notes for specific habits on specific days. Right now they're only visible in today overview, although a separate thread of journaling for each habits has been requested by other people as well. It is easily implemented and I can add that in the next iteration
Cheers!

@staringispolite check out Way of Life. Horrible name, but one of the better habit tracked I've found. Has all the notes stuff you need.

@gerbz Thanks, Greg! Checked it out, but it looks like it still focuses more on habits/checkins than broader personal growth, and its notes don't look threaded. Am I seeing that wrong?

@staringispolite threaded? You want to reply to yourself? =} there's a notes tab that divides notes by habit.
Maybe you're better off with a standard journal (Day One is my fav). You c an use hashtags to organize posts however you'd like.

@gerbz IMHO, habit checkins are limited if they don't have the context of a journal. Journals are limited if they don't have the structure/data of a habit checkin app. So what I want to try is a combination.
Neither are very useful if you don't look at them holistically after writing, which is why I want "threading". Maybe there's a better word for it
/cc @mathiasmaehlum in case any of this is useful :)
