Updot Habit tracker

The habit tracker that ticks itself off.

Updot Habit tracker is part of Updot, the iPhone app for your habits, to-do list, reminders, calendar, notes and focus timer. Build habits, keep streaks and quit the ones you don’t want. Apple Health ticks your walks, workouts and sleep for you, so a habit you’ve done never waits for you to log it.

Why habits slip

Most streaks break for the wrong reason.

You didn’t stop walking. You just forgot to open the app and log the walk you already took. The streak breaks anyway, and the app starts to feel like homework.

Logging what you already did

Apple Health ticks walks, workouts and sleep for you. Read only: Updot never writes to Health.

One missed day, all gone

Streaks reset, but your wins don’t. The dot calendar keeps the whole month in view.

Quitting has no tick box

A quit habit counts the days without, and the money you save.

How it works

Set it once. Updot keeps count.

    Let Apple Health tick it

    The walk is ticked by Apple Health: goal reached 7 of 7 days, 4,860 steps so far today. Sleep and workouts tick the same way.

Better together

Habits that fit around the rest of your day.

Reminded only when it helps

Morning Walk nudges at 6:30 AM, and Updot never reminds you about a habit you’ve already done.

Plan the Day sets up your list

One habit opens the to-do list: 13 days in a row of starting with the next job on top.

Adds up with tasks and focus time

Habits, tasks and focus time add up together: 81 habits done this November, 101 wins in all.

Plans in your notes

Alex’s Better Sleep Plan note sits next to his Sleep 7 Hours habit, with one action item.

One day, five apps

Questions

Walks and steps, workouts and sleep. You pick the target, like 3,000 steps or 40 minutes of strength training, and Updot ticks the habit when Health sees it.

02Does Updot write to Apple Health?

No. Updot only reads from Health, and everything stays on your iPhone.

Yes. A quit habit counts the days without it and can count the money you save: $54 after 18 days without soda.
