Looking to build solid new habits? Grit stands out by focusing on consistency over intensity, to help you create lasting routines through simple yet effective daily tracking.

What we love: The motivating streak system. It highlights progress in a visual, satisfying way that encourages daily engagement. The subtle design choices – such as colourful progress bars and gentle reminders – create a sense of achievement without pressure.

Quick tip: To get the most out of Grit, start small. Instead of adding 10 ambitious habits at once, focus on two or three that you can realistically maintain every day. Use the app’s reminder feature strategically – tie habits to specific moments in your routine, such as after breakfast or before bed. Then, once your streaks are stable, try gradually introducing new habits.

Meet the creator: Grit was created in the Netherlands by a small team of entrepreneurs passionate about behavioural psychology and self-improvement. Their vision centres on making habit-building accessible and sustainable.
