Basalt - Follow Through
habit tracker in a widget
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
one routine per widget, several on the lock screen, and the whole face is the tap. the day gets ticked off without opening the app.
most days, you won't open this app.
you write down what you want to follow through on, and how many times a week. then you tick it off on the home screen. that is the whole interaction.
more than one routine
run several at once, each with its own weekly frequency. three runs a week, one call home on sunday, twenty minutes of reading on weekdays. they sit side by side, no ranking, no main one.
a routine can end
give a routine a target span if you want one. when the span is over, the routine is done. finished, not abandoned. there is no streak growing forever that has to be defended — a missed tuesday is a missed tuesday, not a reason to delete the app. leave the span empty and a routine simply keeps going.
the widget is the product
check in from the home screen, without opening anything. the app is where you set a routine up, look at the plan, and change what it asks of you. most days you never get that far.
plan and calendar
the plan view shows what the week asks of you. export it to your calendar if you would rather have it there.
one person, read only
share a single routine with one person, by code or QR. they can see how it is going. they cannot edit it, cannot nudge you, cannot take it over. it is a window, not a handle.
quiet on purpose
monochrome, no accent colour, follows light and dark. no feed, no profile, no points, no leaderboard, nothing to scroll. the app has no reason to keep you in it.
when the phone is the thing in the way
basalt can shut the apps and websites that pull at you — on demand when you want an hour back, or on a schedule at night. you pick what gets shut in apple's own screen time picker, and the app never learns what you picked. the selection stays on your device. it is friction, not a lock you cannot pick — friction is usually the part that was missing.
routines, check-ins, the widget, the plan and sharing are free and stay free. the shutting part is the paid upgrade.
basalt does not promise you will follow through. it keeps the record where you already look, and gets out of the way.
premium is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly. it renews unless you turn it off in your App Store settings at least 24 hours before the period ends. purchases can be restored in the app.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
choose a routine per widget: hold a widget, edit it, pick one. several routines on your lock screen at once. tap anywhere on a widget to tick the day off.
the widget faces are new: the day's letters, five weeks of dots, the week as stones. in the widget studio you can try it with demo data before you place one.
opening a routine from its card now zooms out of the card, the way the system does it.
