Is there room for another habit tracking app? Need honest advice.

Hey Reddit,

I'm someone who has been trying to build better habits for years. I've always wanted to consistently wake up earlier, hit the gym, limit how much I scroll, read more books, meditate, journal, quit my vices, you name it.

I've probably downloaded 15+ habit tracking apps and I would use them for about a week and then quit them. I've also experimented tracking my habits with Google Sheets and Notion. This is why I thought it could be fun to create my own app where I could really build out everything I felt was missing.

I've been trying to market my app for a few weeks now and haven't gotten any traction, I don't have any real users. It is making me question if the space is just too oversaturated and I should try to pivot / scrap it, or if I'm just not doing a good enough job at marketing.

I am also wondering if this is actually a serious enough pain point where a habit tracking app could be successful. I know there are many successful apps out there like Finch, Forest, etc that have a bunch of users, but I don't know how to replicate that.

It's frustrating because I do really believe I have built a cool app. This post is not intended as a marketing post, but I will list off some of the features that I think makes my app unique:

- Flexible tracking. Can track yes/no habits (did I go to gym?), quantity habits (how many steps did I walk? how much water did I drink?), duration habits (how long did I scroll tiktok?) and schedule habits (what time did I wake up?). Can also track daily, weekly, or on specific days.

- Voice dictation. Can talk about your day and AI will parse what you said and automatically fill out your habits for the day. This reduces friction of manually tracking everything.

- Advanced analytics. Can see a bunch of cool stats and visualizations for your habits, such as how you do on different days of the week (maybe you wake up earlier on mondays than fridays), trend charts over time, github style completion charts, and habit correlations (how do your habits relate?)

- Journal screen

- AI chat (Aya) that has context into your habit and journal data and will give advice, encourage you when doing well, and roast you when doing poorly.

I know it feels like there's a million new habit trackers, productivity tools, and random apps being promoted every day with how easy its become to vibe code. That is why I am looking for honest advice, does this app have potential? And if so, what am I missing / how do I market it? Or is the market too oversaturated / not a painful enough problem?

If you've made it this far and have any thoughts, I would really appreciate anything you have to say. I am feeling kind of lost right now.

The app requires a subscription but if you want to try it and give me honest feedback, I am happy to send you a code for a free trial. Just send me a DM.

The app is called "MindMend - Habit Tracker" on app store if you would like to check it out. Have a great day!!
