X Effect: Streak Keeper
7x7 Habit Tracker & Widgets
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
X Effect is a beautifully minimal habit tracker based on the proven "Don't Break the Chain" method. Every day you complete your habit, mark an X. Watch your streak grow and build unstoppable momentum.
HOW IT WORKS
The X Effect method is simple: commit to a habit for 49 days (7 weeks). Each day you succeed, you draw an X. The visual chain of X's creates powerful motivation, you won't want to break it.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND IT
The X Effect leverages two powerful psychological principles:
Visual Progress — Seeing a chain of X's activates your brain's reward system
Loss Aversion — Once you've built a streak, breaking it feels like losing something valuable
After 49 days, your new behavior becomes automatic. That's the X Effect.
