I rebuilt it from top to bottom; today it looks almost nothing like that first version.</p>
<p>I didn't want another streak counter. I wanted something that fits a real week: some days are full, some days are not, and the app should say that honestly instead of shaming you for breaking a chain.</p>
<p>Here's what Halo does now.</p>
<p>You give each habit a real weekly schedule, a time of day, a trigger that makes it easier to start, and a minimum version for hard days. The Daily Rhythm screen shows only today's habits. You can complete a step in its full version or the minimum one. A 28-day Rhythm Score shows how well you're actually sticking to the plan, and on which days and times you're more consistent.</p>
<p>Halo Premium adds a weekly Rhythm Coach report: your strong patterns, the points where you get stuck, one clear priority, and a 7-day trial step. The coach only runs with your permission. For that report, survey answers, habit titles and anonymous 28-day summary metrics go to a server; your name, email and exact completion dates do not. The report is stored on your device, and you can delete that data from the app.</p>
<p>Basic habit tracking works on the device without an account. There are no ads, and you can optionally back up with Google sign-in. It also has Android widgets.</p>
<p>Halo is on Google Play, and it's coming to the App Store:</p>

<p>I'm Eren, a solo developer in Türkiye. Halo was the first of nine apps I've shipped this year.</p>
