Mainstay Habits
Focus habits, journal & meds
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New: a journal on every habit — as many notes a day as you like — and meds that tick themselves off when you log them in Apple Health. Rhythm, never streaks.
Most habit trackers show every habit, every day, in one flat list, nagging you to meditate mid-meeting and exercise at midnight. Mainstay is different. It surfaces the right habits for whichever Focus you're in, and it never punishes you with a streak.
THE RIGHT HABITS, RIGHT NOW
Bind each habit to your Work, Personal, or Sleep Focus. When that Focus turns on, Mainstay automatically shows just those habits, powered by Apple's Focus Filters, something no cross-platform app can do.
RHYTHM, NOT STREAKS
Mainstay measures how steady you've been lately, 5 of the last 7 days, not an all-or-nothing chain. Miss a day and nothing resets. You just pick it back up. It's built for real life, and for anyone who's burned out on streak anxiety.
IT TICKS ITSELF OFF
Connect Health and your workouts, mindful minutes and sleep complete the matching habit automatically, no double logging.
EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK
- Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets showing your current context
- A routine session that walks you through your morning in the Dynamic Island, no unlocking
- Calm, adult design, no cartoon pets, no guilt

Remember the why — and let Health do the ticking.
• Habit journal: add as many notes a day as you like to any habit — how it went, why you missed it, how you felt. Back-date notes to quiet days too. Synced through iCloud.
• Meds that tick themselves off: link a habit to Apple Health medications (iOS 26). Log a dose as taken in Health and the habit completes — any medication, or one you choose. You decide which medications Mainstay can see.
• A new options menu on every habit: add a note, edit, pause or resume in one place.
