Tracking your habits
If you’re looking for a simple way to track your habits, and maybe stick to your new year’s resolution, look no further than Daybook.
Simplicity in the tally
Daybook is a new app with one very straightforward function: to keep you on track. They have kept it simple, perhaps to not distract you from your goals. All you need to do is enter the name of the activity you want to track, and then you either click the plus sign to add to the counter or the minus sign to reduce it.
That’s it.
There are no dates, stats, or any fancy details. In other popular apps such as HabitBull and GoalTracker, there are various other features such as insights and time frames that you can set yourself. While useful, these features can also make reaching your goal feel overwhelming. Daybook is an alternative to most advanced apps. It is basically a digital tally list.
Track whatever you want
The creators of Daybook wanted to make the app flexible in order to fit everyone’s needs. For example, you can track how many sodas you have in a day if you’re trying to lower your caffeine intake. Or, you can count the number of pages you’ve written when you’re writing an essay. It can even be used to keep score if you’re playing a game. No matter what it is, you can track it. In addition, if you want to keep yourself accountable, you can make your Daybook activities public.
Sharing your info is a good way to engage your friends and family to stay motivated.
At the end of the day, Daybook is a simple tool to help you work on your habits. Whether you have many goals to reach or just wanted to see how many episodes of Game of Thrones you can go through in a day, Daybook is there for you.
