Most habit trackers give you streaks. Some give you a grid. GridHabits gives you both, plus stats, and recovery on top. Every day you show up fills a square. The streak drives you; the grid keeps a permanent record even when a streak breaks, so your history never disappears. Forgot or finished late? Honestly recover a missed day, last 7 days only, 7 a month. Forgives a real slip without faking consistency. Stats, custom habits, shareable streak card. iOS now, Android soon.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm a solo developer, and GridHabits came out of one of the hardest stretches of my life. I've been trying to land a visa-sponsored cybersecurity job here in the UK. Even after an MSc in cybersecurity, I'm still learning daily, working through cybersecurity courses, sending daily job applications, hitting the gym to stay sane, and working a warehouse job to cover rent while I built toward something better. On top of that, building tools on the side. I needed to track all of it, every day, without dropping a ball. I tried every habit tracker out there. None of them stuck. A checkmark vanished the second I tapped it. Miss one day and my streak reset to zero, and it felt like the weeks of effort didn't count. On a schedule like mine, that was the fastest way to quit. So I built the one I actually needed. GridHabits is built on a simple split: → The streak drives you, the daily push to show up today. → The grid proves you, every day fills a square, so months of effort are visible at a glance. Miss a day and the streak resets, but the grid never erases a square you earned. Some trackers give you streaks. Some give you a grid. GridHabits gives you both, plus stats that make the work undeniable, and on top of that, something for your effort: recovery. Because life happens, especially on a packed schedule. You forget, or you finish a habit late after a warehouse shift. So you can honestly recover a missed day, fill the square back in, and rebuild your streak. Deliberately limited, last 7 days only, 7 a month, so it forgives a real bad day without letting you fake consistency. Most trackers either punish you with a hard reset or let you cheat freely. This sits honestly in the middle. It's live on iOS across 175 countries, Android in final testing. Free to start. This is a solo project built in the margins of a hard year, so your feedback genuinely means a lot. Streaks drive. Grids prove. 🔥 P.S. If you're hiring in cybersecurity in the UK and open to sponsorship, I'm still looking 👀

The recovery mechanic feels way more realistic than most streak based products. What made you pick the 7 days only and 7 a month limits for honest recoveries?

@naimz Two reasons. The 7-day window keeps recovery honest, it forgives a genuinely bad week, but you can’t backfill a square from three weeks ago and pretend the history was real. The grid has to mean something. And the 7-a-month cap stops recovery from becoming a habit of its own. If you could recover unlimited days, you’d just lean on it, and consistency becomes fiction. Capped, it covers the realistic number of off days a packed month throws at you without softening the proof. When you recover, the streak rebuilds and the square doesn’t stay empty, it fills back in. But I render a recovered square with a slight gradient, not a totally different colour that screams at you, just enough that you’re aware it was a recovery and not a same-day fill. The history stays honest without punishing you for it. Honest middle ground between punishing and soft.
