For iPhone
Count the days since.
No
Not another checkbox you forget to tick. Start a counter for the thing you are done with, and it runs on its own — one ring for every day you hold.
Five stages, one ring at a time
The day count is the truth. The stage is the celebration — a badge your habit earns as the rings pile up, ending at the one the app is named for.
Seed
Just planted. The first days are the deepest roots.
Sprout
Green shoots. Three days in and it is holding.
Sapling
Standing on its own now. Two weeks of rings.
Tree
Properly rooted. Storms do not move this one.
Heartwood
Half a year of heartwood. This is who you are.
A look inside
What you get
Widgets that count for you
Rings on the Home Screen in small and medium, plus circular, rectangular and inline Lock Screen widgets. Reset a habit straight from the widget.
Every unit that matters
Read a streak in hours, days, weeks, months or years. The seconds keep ticking underneath.
Slips are part of it
Reset with a tap. Heartwood keeps your longest streak and your restart count, so one bad day does not erase the record.
Share the ring, not the lecture
Export a streak card in square, portrait or story sizes.
Private habits stay private
Hide any habit behind Face ID. It shows as locked until you look at it.
Nothing leaves your phone
No account, no sign-up, no analytics, no servers. Your habits live on your device.

Support
Answers to what gets asked most. Anything else, write to me directly — a real person reads it.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up, no login and no password. Open the app and start counting.
Where is my data stored?
On your iPhone, and nowhere else. Heartwood has no servers and sends nothing anywhere. That also means habits do not sync between devices, and deleting the app deletes them.
What happens if I slip?
Reset the habit and the ring starts again. Your longest streak and your number of restarts are both kept, so you see the whole picture rather than only the current run.
How do I restore a purchase on a new phone?
Open the paywall and tap Restore. Purchases are tied to your Apple Account, so as long as you are signed in with the same one, Premium comes back at no extra cost.
How do I cancel Premium?
Subscriptions are managed by Apple rather than by Heartwood. Open the Settings app, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and cancel there. Premium stays active until the period you already paid for runs out.
My widget is not updating.
iOS decides how often widgets refresh and limits it to save battery, so a few minutes of lag is normal. If it stays stuck, remove the widget and add it again. If that does not fix it, email me and say which widget and which size.
Found a bug, or want something added?
Send it over. Include your iPhone model and iOS version if it is a bug — it makes it much quicker to track down.
