Streaks is a habit tracker that will keep a track of days you've completed your tasks for you. Just don't break the chain and you've built and you're set to build habits!
Habit forming has so much mythology around it. It's pretty simple. Pick one thing. do it a lot. Get rewarded for your efforts. Streaks is adding simplification to the mix.
@mariosundar@micah We've got an update coming out next week that'll let you check off the previous day if you forgot to do so at the time. The update will also add "Shake to Undo", and support for 12 new languages (Chinese, Russian, etc..)
Hey all - I'm the maker of Streaks. I'll be here for a while if you have any questions or comments about the app!
This is the first app I've built using Swift, and also the first using HealthKit. I built the app because there's a number of things I need to do every day, such as ensuring I turn off my leaky tap properly (I build apps, I'm not a plumber ;) )
@tiagooooooooo Having a cap of the number of tasks (6) makes people know it'll never get out of hand. My own tasks include a couple of relatively easy tasks, as well as a "Walk X,000 Steps" task, meaning progress is shown every time I launch the app.
Then once three are knocked off it's a smaller step for the user to finish the final 3.
Additionally, it'll prompt you to adjust your steps/distance tasks based on your success/failure rate. It also provides notifications at a relevant time of day to remind you.
@hendx Great idea Quentin. I'm a stickler for building a positive routine around the little things like writing new content, reading industry news, going for a run etc. Streaks sounds like something I'd love. While I'm currently an Android user, I hope to be a user soon whether it's on a new iphone or when you build an android version. Congrats on a great tool!
@akshay2104 The punishment is breaking your streak and losing satisfaction. If you continually miss a distance/steps task, Streaks will recommend adjusting it so you can complete it more often. No punishment like public shaming or anything like that though ;)
Report
I've heard about Streak before and I can't wait for the Android version ;)!
@dklimkin My reply above to @tiagooooooooo addresses a few of the ways it helps to motivate.
Basically, the Health integration pushes you, as well as timely notification(s), which can of course be disabled if the user chooses. Also, the remaining task count is shown as a badge on the app - this is never going to be more than 6, so it's never overwhelming.
@epicplugins thanks - a good comparison. The main hook, for lack of better term, is the UI for completing a task. It feels really satisfying to complete a task in Streaks.
One of the other key features of Streaks is integration with the iOS health app. It will track your steps/distance and suggest adjustments over time to ensure you complete that task often.
Report
@hendx@epicplugins Looks good. The initial paid put me off to start with (as I would like to trial it) perhaps some sort of freemium model may help (with the IAP being unlock more than 6 tasks - but up to 10)
@epicplugins Thanks - appreciate the feedback. I'm going to do a review in the next few weeks and reassess pricing, features, etc.. to best serve new and existing users.
