New feature: Revamped Habit Tracker

We’ve finally published a major update to Elisi’s habit module. The updated module now supports habit streaks and a monthly overview. Streaks are widely supported in other habit-tracking apps. Seeing how many times in a row you have been punching a habit greatly increases your chances of maintaining that habit.

We spent a lot of time designing the streak feature: how it should behave, and the best way to integrate it with the current minimal UI. Simply piling up new controls into the UI wasn’t the way to go. We knew that the new UI had to be kept clean in order to be useful. Chaos results in abandonment.

Through a difficult process of design and redesign, we finally settled on the current iteration. The current streak numbers are integrated into the checkboxes, and other streak information is displayed in a new habit details view. We also added a monthly view for habits, so you can check your recent performance.

We hope you like the updates to the habit module.
