Gradualist
Staged Progress. Real Growth
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Build real capability, not streaks. Gradualist uses staged progression to help you compound habits intentionally. Four practices types. Zero noise.
Gradualist is not a habit tracker. It's a structured approach to building real capability through intentional, staged progression.
Most productivity apps treat every day the same — you either check the box or break your streak. This creates anxiety, not growth. Gradualist is fundamentally different.
HOW IT WORKS
Instead of repetitive tasks, you build Practices. Each practice follows a structured Blueprint that defines how your habit scales over time. You start at Stage 1, master the foundation, then evolve through stages until you reach your final goal. If you miss a day, you don't lose anything — you simply resume your current stage.
BLUEPRINTS & TEMPLATES
Every practice is powered by one of four Blueprint types (or combined for complex needs):
• Linear — Track a single metric that grows each stage. Perfect for meditation, running, or reading goals that scale gradually.
• Sequential — Break a list of items into expanding chunks. Ideal for memorizing speeches, learning vocabulary, or mastering recipes.
• Rotational — Rotate through themed days with targets that scale over time. Built for gym routines like Push/Pull/Legs splits.
• Habit — The simplest blueprint. No numbers, no sequences — just consistency tracking for practices like journaling or stretching.
Choose from curated Templates to get started instantly, or build your own Blueprint from scratch and customize it to fit your lifestyle.
