Overview
1% Habit turns your day into 96 small tiles — one tile is 15 minutes, about 1% of your day. Pick a routine, run a calm 15-minute timer, and watch a tile quietly fill on your time-of-day heatmap. Each finished timer is one rep, and a few reps stacked together push today's number up: 1%, 2%, 5%. Fifteen minutes is small enough to start today and frequent enough to add up, so the habit grows without ever feeling like a chore.
Most habit apps keep score against you — a streak to protect, a badge to chase, a "you failed" when life gets in the way. 1% Habit does the opposite. There are no streaks, no guilt, and no failure state. Miss a day and nothing breaks; come back whenever you like. It is built for anyone who has burned out on aggressive trackers and just wants a quiet, honest picture of the time they invested in the things that matter.
Key Features
Day-as-Heatmap
Your whole day is 96 fifteen-minute tiles. Filled reps light up by time of day, so progress is something you can see at a glance.
Calm 15-Minute Reps
Tap a routine to start a live 15-minute timer. Finish it and it counts as one rep. Short and repeatable beats long and overwhelming.
No Streaks, No Guilt
There is no streak to break and no failure state. The app is kind to you — gentle progress, never pressure.
Multiple Routines
Exercise, reading, meditation, study, a walk — each routine gets its own color or emoji and its own count.
Widgets & Live Activity
Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show today's % and your heatmap. A running rep appears live in the Dynamic Island.
Apple Watch
Start a routine right from your wrist. Reps you do on the watch sync back to your iPhone — no phone needed mid-routine.

Who It's For
Burned Out on Streaks
If a broken streak has ever made you delete a habit app, this is the opposite. Nothing to protect, nothing to lose by taking a day off.
Starting Small
For anyone who keeps meaning to read, move, or meditate but never finds the time. Fifteen minutes is small enough to begin today.
Juggling a Few Habits
Track exercise, reading, study, meditation, and a daily walk side by side — each with its own color, emoji, and count.
Wants Calm Reflection
For people who like to look back on the week without a scoreboard — a quiet heatmap and a 7-day average, not pressure.
Private by Design
Your data stays on your device. There is no account and no sign-up — nothing to create, nothing to log into. 1% Habit sends only pseudonymous, IDFA-free usage analytics to help improve the app; your routines and your records never leave your iPhone.
