habits.me 🎯

In a world full of apps requiring constant sign-ins, cloud syncs, and telemetry, habits.me takes a different path: your data stays entirely on your device.

Whether you want to build positive daily habits, break bad ones, or track long-term routines, habits.me offers a clean, distraction-free environment without any tracking, accounts, or internet access required.

🔒 Why habits.me?

Open Source: Built with complete transparency using modern Flutter architecture.
Lightweight & Fast: Responsive UI with local storage ensuring your data loads instantly.

Flexible Home Dashboard: Quickly filter active vs. inactive habits or navigate back/forth in time using the built-in date picker.
