About BeHabitual
A habit tracker built by one person who kept abandoning habit trackers. It exists because every tool that was pleasant to look at was tedious to use by week three, and every tool that was fast to use showed you a single day at a time.

info@behabitual.comFour decisions everything else follows from
The month is the unit, not the day
A single day tells you nothing about whether a habit is holding. A month tells you immediately, and it tells you as a shape rather than a number. Four empty boxes in a row is harder to argue with than a completion rate of 71%.
Logging has to cost less than the habit
Most trackers die because the admin outgrows the thing being tracked. One tap per habit is the default here, and nothing has to be filled in first: no category to assign at logging time, no note you must write, no mood prompt before you can tick a box.
A day you did not do it should cost nothing
Completions are stored only when they happen. There is no row saying you failed, which keeps a year of tracking small enough to stay free, and means the record is not carrying a ledger of your bad days.
Say what it does not do
It is not a calendar, not a to-do list, and not a team tool. Naming that plainly on every page loses some visitors who needed something else, which is the correct outcome for both of us.
How it is paid for
It is not, currently. There is no paid tier, no card on file, and no investor expecting a return. Running costs are low enough that early access can stay free without a plan to recoup it.
What that buys you is a product with no reason to nag you into an upgrade. What it costs you is that there is no support team, no uptime guarantee, and no promise that this is still here in five years. Export your data if it matters. The button is in settings.
