Low friction · habit guide

A habit tracker designed for ADHD minds

MicroHabit eliminates streak pressure, cognitive clutter, and guilt trips. A missed day changes your rolling 30-day view without zeroing your history. Begin with one tiny action, log with a single tap, and pick up whenever you return.

Low-friction routine

Five design choices that reduce executive friction

  1. Start with one micro-action

    Choose an action that takes under two minutes: drink a glass of water, stretch for two minutes, or read for five minutes. Starting small lowers task initiation resistance.

  2. No streak counter to break

    Streaks create all-or-nothing perfectionism. MicroHabit measures completion across a rolling 30-day window, so forgetting a day never turns weeks of effort into a reset.

  3. Three distinct recording modes

    Check off a simple task, count discrete units such as pages read, or run an on-screen timer. You can log beyond your target whenever momentum strikes.

  4. Gentle, optional reminders

    Set a specific weekday reminder without high-pressure alarms, nagging messages, or intrusive catch-up notifications.

  5. Pause or archive without penalty

    When focus shifts or life gets overwhelming, pause a habit or archive it. All previously recorded activity remains intact when you choose to bring it back.

Questions

ADHD habit tracking FAQ

Why does MicroHabit avoid streak counters?

Streak counters punish natural inconsistencies and encourage giving up completely after one missed day. A 30-day rolling view shows overall consistency without an all-or-nothing penalty.

What if I forget to open the app for a week?

When you return, Today displays today's habits. Your older logs remain in your history, and your 30-day percentage simply adjusts as dates move forward.

Does the app include an AI coach or social feed?

No. MicroHabit does not include an AI coach, community feed, or chat features. It focuses strictly on private, offline habit logging.

Is MicroHabit free to use?

Free includes up to five active habits and Weekly Progress. Pro is an optional one-time purchase with no recurring subscription or trial.
