Habit Tracker - Ballast
Adaptive goals & daily routine
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Some days you have less to give. Ballast lowers the target instead of breaking your chain, then raises it again when you're ready.
Most habit apps assume every day is the same. Ballast doesn't.
Every habit you add has three sizes: a full target, a reduced one, and a minimum that still counts. On the days you have less to give, Ballast lowers the ask instead of letting you fail. When things settle, it raises the target back up.
WHY IT WORKS WHEN STREAKS DON'T
A streak punishes one bad day by erasing everything behind it. Ballast keeps a chain instead: a missed day shows as a gap, not a reset. Nothing you have built disappears because you got sick, traveled, or had a hard week.
WHAT'S INSIDE
Three-tier targets - a full, a reduced and a minimum version of every habit
Daily capacity check - tell Ballast how today feels, or let Apple Health and your calendar read it for you
Chains, not streaks - a missed day is a gap, never a reset
Recovery plans - when a habit starts slipping, you get a short, dated plan to bring it back
Weekly review - which habits work better earlier, which targets are set too high, and what to change
Routines - group habits into a morning or evening flow and run them in order
Journal - a few lines at the end of the day, kept beside your habits
Widgets, Apple Watch and Control Center - log without opening the app
iCloud sync - your data stays in your own iCloud account
Full VoiceOver and Dynamic Type support throughout
FREE AND PRO
Free is a complete three-tier tracker: the ladder, the capacity dial, chain integrity, manual easing, rest days, widgets and data export. None of the core model is locked away.
Pro adds the coach - targets that move on their own, capacity read from Apple Health and your calendar, recovery plans when a habit slips, the full weekly review, extra reminders per habit, and unlimited habits and routines. Available as a weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase.
Subscriptions are charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase and renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings.
PRIVACY
Your habits, logs and journal never leave your device except to sync through your own iCloud account. Health and calendar data are read on the device and are never uploaded. Anonymous usage analytics and crash reports are optional and can be turned off in Settings.
