About SevenGrid

SevenGrid is a habit tracker that shows your whole week on one screen: seven days across, your habits down the side, one tap per cell. Miss a day and the cell simply stays empty. Nothing resets, nothing scolds you, and the week does not hold it against you. Most habit apps run on streaks. They pull you along for a few weeks, and then you keep going mostly so the number does not break. SevenGrid drops the counter entirely and replaces it with something quieter: the shape of your week. You see your pattern, you take two minutes at the end of the week to reflect, and you carry on. It works fully offline with no account, no sign-up and no cloud. Your data lives on your phone and leaves as a CSV or JSON file whenever you want it to. Three habits are free forever. Pro is a single one-time payment. No streaks. No subscription. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT No streaks. Most trackers reward you with a growing number and punish you with a reset. Research on this is clear: a visible broken streak makes people less likely to continue, and it hits hardest for the ones who blame themselves. SevenGrid shows a gap instead. Nothing before it loses its value. Skip days. Sick, traveling, just resting? Mark the day as skipped. The reminder pauses and the week does not count it against you. Standing rest days work too: no gym on Fridays, set once, done. At most goals. Not every habit is about doing more. Set a limit for coffee, late nights or screen time and see the week from the other side. Weekly reflection. At the end of the week, two minutes and a mood. A small week diary that turns out to be the part people keep coming back to. The shape of your week. Instead of a score, a pattern: which days carry you, where the rest falls, how the weeks look side by side. With Pro, in color, with your weekly stats. WHAT IT DOES Daily targets with counts, and counting past the goal if you overshoot. Amounts and durations per day. Notes per day with a long-press preview. A year at a glance in calm tiles. Share a week as a quiet image. Per-habit reminders with weekday-specific times, checked off straight from the notification (Pro). Quiet hours. Week starts on the day you choose. An archive that keeps old habits readable. App lock with fingerprint or face and screenshot blocking. Twenty hand-tuned themes, light, dark and true black. Home-screen widgets including a clock and a heatmap, a quick-settings tile and app shortcuts (Android). PRIVATE BY DESIGN Fully offline, no account, no sign-up, no email address, no cloud. Everything lives in the app's own storage on your phone. Exactly two network calls exist: checking a Pro purchase, and an optional crash report you can switch off. Full CSV export from day one, Free or Pro, plus a complete JSON export. Import reads it all back in, so switching phones is one folder and two minutes. PAY ONCE Three habits are free for as long as you like. Pro is a single one-time payment that lifts the limits for good: unlimited habits, full history, all themes, weekly stats, reminders, and whatever features and themes arrive later. No monthly plan, no yearly plan, nothing to cancel. Available on Android now. The iPhone version has been submitted to Apple. Built and maintained by one person, funded by the one-time purchase rather than ads or investors.

Founder story

My daughter was born in February. For the weeks after that I lost track of most things, and somewhere in there every streak I had built up over the years quietly fell apart, including a 242-day language streak I was honestly proud of. What bothered me was not the lost numbers. It was the mismatch: the biggest thing that will ever happen to me had just happened, and the only thing my apps had to say about it was that I had missed a day. A streak counter cannot tell the difference between giving up and becoming a father. To it, they are the same thing. I had been through a lot of habit trackers before that, and they all ended the same way: at some point I was serving the app, putting my shoes on at eleven at night so a checkmark would not stay empty. So I built the tracker I actually wanted. A week on one screen, an empty cell instead of a reset, a short reflection instead of a verdict, and a price you pay once. I use it every day myself and maintain it alone, funded by that one-time purchase rather than ads or investors.

Who Is SevenGrid For?

SevenGrid is for people who want to keep a few habits without being managed by an app, including

• People who have quit habit apps because a broken streak made them feel like a fa
• Anyone tracking a few real habits, not gamifying their whole life
• Founders and makers who want a weekly rhythm without another dashboard
• Privacy-minded users who want no account, no cloud and their data as a file
• People who are done paying monthly rent on a checklist

How Founders Can Use SevenGrid

• Track the three to five habits that actually move your work: deep work block, shipping something, a walk, no screens after ten
• Do a two-minute weekly reflection with a mood note instead of a Sunday planning marathon
• Set At most goals to cut back on things like coffee, late nights or doomscrolling, with a limit instead of a target
• Use a daily target with a count, for example eight glasses of water or three outreach messages, and count past it if you overshoot
• Mark sick days and travel as skipped so the week stays honest without punishing you
• Put the week grid on your home screen as a widget and check habits off without opening the app (Android)
• Export your history as CSV and pull it into a spreadsheet or your own tooling whenever you like
• Share a week as a quiet image with a cofounder or accountability partner

Verdict

SevenGrid is worth a look if you have ever deleted a habit app after a broken streak. It does one thing well: it puts your week on one screen and gets out of the way. There is no counter to protect, no red warning, no confetti, and no notification unless you ask for one. A missed day is an empty cell, and the week moves on. The trade-off is intentional. If you want gamification, social features or cloud sync across every device, this is not that app. SevenGrid stores everything on your phone, asks for no account, and treats your data as yours from day one, with full CSV export in the free tier. Pricing is the other reason to consider it. Three habits stay free for as long as you like. Pro is a one-time purchase that includes everything added later, with no subscription anywhere. For a habit, which is a years-long project, that is the right shape of deal. Available on Android now. The iPhone version has been submitted to Apple. Home-screen widgets are Android-only for now.
