I built a habit tracker with no streaks, no account, no subscription

https://sevengrid.app/reddit-sideproject.png

I'm a solo developer and I just shipped SevenGrid, a calm weekly habit tracker for Android.

The why: I used habit apps for years and quit every one at the same moment. A streak breaks, the app makes a drama out of it, and a good tool turns into a guilty conscience. Watching how those guilt spirals wore down my wife, who has ADHD, was the last push. So I built the opposite.

No streaks. Instead of a daily chain that breaks, SevenGrid shows your whole week as a 7-day grid. Weekly goals like "three times a week" replace the all-or-nothing pressure, planned breaks don't count against you, and you can even set "at most" goals for cutting back.

Some deliberate choices:

  • Everything stays local on the device. No account, no cloud, no analytics. (An independent Exodus scan shows a single tracker: an anonymous, opt-out crash reporter.)
  • One-time purchase, never a subscription. Free to start.
  • A short weekly reflection instead of trophies and badges.
  • Built solo, in Germany.

It's live on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.sevengrid More on the thinking behind it, including a longer piece on why I left streaks out: sevengrid.app

I'd love honest feedback on the concept and the execution, especially from anyone who has bounced off streak-based apps. Happy to share Play promo codes in the comments if anyone wants to try the full version.

SevenGrid: 50 Pro codes to give away

Hi everyone,

I'm a solo developer and I just launched SevenGrid, a calm weekly habit tracker for Android. I wanted to share it here and give away 50 Google Play codes for the full version.

The idea: no streaks. Instead of a daily chain that breaks and makes you feel like you failed, SevenGrid shows your whole week as a 7-day grid. Weekly goals like "three times a week" replace the all-or-nothing pressure, and you can mark planned breaks so a day off does not count against you.

A few things that make it different:

  • No streaks, no guilt. A missed day is just a missed day.
  • Your whole week on one screen, plus a focused Today view.
  • "At most" goals too, for cutting back (like "fast food at most twice").
  • Skip days you plan in advance, they never count as failure.
  • A short weekly reflection with a mood check, instead of trophies and confetti.
  • Everything stays local on your device: no account, no cloud, no tracking beyond an optional, anonymous crash reporter you can switch off.
  • Home screen widgets, light and dark themes.

Free to use with up to 3 habits and your last 4 weeks. The full version (unlimited habits, full history, weekly stats) is a one-time purchase, never a subscription.

Giveaway: comment below and I'll DM you a code while they last (first come, first served). The codes are valid until July 5, 2027, so there's no rush, in keeping with the spirit of the app. One thing that matters though: after you redeem a code in the Play Store, please open SevenGrid once within a day or two so the upgrade activates (Google voids purchases that are never opened).

This giveaway is run by me, the developer, and is not sponsored by or affiliated with Reddit or Google.

I'd genuinely love honest feedback, good or bad. Thanks for taking a look.
