Show HN: Habby – A straightforward bullet journal with habit tracking
Heya HN,
I started journaling about a year ago and recently landed in my perfect setup, a simple sentence to remember each day, combined with a flexible habit tracker. Over the holidays I turned this approach into a free expo app that I want to share.
Basically, you get:
- One sentence per day, enough to remember each day.
- Flexible habit tracking (still working on finding the best UX here)
- No backend, no tracking, all in device (just sentry for errors)
- Clean, minimal interface
- Export your data
- Stats to track your progress
I built this primarily for my own use, but I'd love to hear what the HN community thinks about it. Android is still in closed testing, but will be available soon.
Thanks!

- acarreras 2y agoWill do, thanks! Not the best at marketing :)
- rebalh 2y agoSome advice for you, the landing page should have more info or at least a video of the app it self.
- oidar 2y agoI can't get it to work. I dismissed the beginning dialog and now touches don't do anything. It's broken. Restarting the app doesn't fix it.
- acarreras 2y agoHmm very strange, let me try to find the issue! What's your device? What do you see when the app opens up fresh then? The list of days and nothing works? you can't scroll or edit a day? Thanks for the help!
- savolai 2y agoHi. Seemed promising and I like the visuals but seems to not have todo lists which I thought bullet journals .. have? Also ui seems buggy, got it stuck in some intermediary state where monthly goals panel is open and completely empty and I can’t exit or do anything else. Some ui tap animations still work tho.
- acarreras 2y agoWill add todo lists, it's in my todo list :) Regarding the monthly goals, will need to review the UX, might be confusing. Thanks for the help!
- satvikpendem 2y agoThe aesthetic is really nice, I like the soft color scheme.
- alkh 2y agoJust gave it a try, looks promising for sure. What I don't get is how to add more habits. Are you only allowed to keep 3 by design or am I missing something?
- nemomarx 2y agoHoping to take a look at this when it's in Android, it seems neat!
- koinedad 2y agoNice job, like the design and idea
- tonijn 2y agoI use Obsidian for this
- afitnerd 2y agoReally like the aesthetic. I’d love to be able to set custom text for a yes/no habit. Myself and a bunch of friends do daily “RPM” - read, pray, meditate. I’d capture that at one yes/no habit
- fp64 2y agoJust started using it and I really appreciate the simplicity and design! I would, however, appreciate if I could track more than 3 "habbits" (not much more, I actually want to add just one more) even if that might be a bit more tricky to implement while keeping everything as simple and sleek. I will continue using it, happy to share feedback when I have more!
