Haby

What it does

Interactive widgets

Mark a habit complete straight from the home screen. The widget is interactive, not a shortcut that opens the app — the tap lands where you already were.

Apple Watch

The full habit list on your wrist, with completion syncing back to the phone. Built for the habits you do away from a desk.

Notifications you actually write

Per-habit title, subtitle and time. A reminder that says what you meant it to say, at the hour that habit really happens.

Streaks and statistics

Current streak, longest streak, completion rate and a year-at-a-glance grid. Enough to see the pattern, not so much that reading it becomes the habit.

Your data stays yours

Habits sync through your own iCloud account. There is no LuminaForge account to create and no server of ours holding your history.

Why we built it

Haby started from a small, annoying observation: every habit tracker is a tracker first and a habit second. You open the app to record that you did the thing, and the opening is friction — enough friction that on a bad day the record doesn’t happen, and once the record stops the habit follows.

So Haby is built backwards from the tap. The home screen widget is the primary interface and the app itself is where you go to set things up or read the history. Everything else — the watch app, the per-habit notification copy, the streak view — exists to keep that one tap where your hand already is.

Questions

01Does Haby work on Apple Watch?

Yes. Haby includes a native watchOS app that shows your habit list and lets you mark completions from the wrist. Completions sync back to the iPhone automatically through iCloud.

02Can I mark a habit without opening the app?

Yes — that is the point of the app. Haby's home screen widgets are interactive, so tapping a habit in the widget records the completion without launching Haby.

03Is Haby free?

Haby is free to download and use for tracking habits. An optional auto-renewing subscription unlocks unlimited habits and the full statistics set. You can use the free tier indefinitely.

04Where is my habit data stored?

In your personal iCloud account, synced between your own devices. Haby has no login and LuminaForge does not hold a copy of your habit history on any server we run.

05Which iPhone models does Haby support?

Any iPhone running iOS 17 or later. Interactive widgets require iOS 17, which is what makes the one-tap home screen completion possible.
