Problems With Normal Habit Tracking Apps

Has anybody tried using a regular habit-tracking app? If so, how does everybody feel about normal habit trackers?

I've tried probably a dozen of them. The pattern is always the same: I'm excited for the first week, I miss one day, the streak resets, and suddenly I feel worse about myself than before I downloaded the app.

The thing that bothers me most isn't the missed day. It's that none of these apps ever help me understand *why* certain days fall apart. They just record that they did. I already know I had a bad day.

What I've always wanted is something that actually reflects back what happened. Not a score. Not a broken streak. Just: here's what your day looked like, here's what the last two weeks suggest about why, and here's one small thing worth trying tomorrow.

Curious if anyone else has felt this gap — or if you've found something that actually works for the reflection side of things (not just the tracking).
