I released Stepwise on the App Store with one core principle: your habits are nobody's business but yours. I was tired of habit trackers that harvest data and charge $5/month for basic features. Stepwise is the exact opposite. The initial response and feature requests from the community were overwhelming, so I spent the last 6 months building basically everything you asked for.

Here is what Stepwise looks like today.

🔒 The Core Promise (Unchanged)

• Privacy First: No account required, no ads, no analytics, and no tracking SDKs. I literally have no idea who is using it.
• iCloud Sync Only: Your data never touches my servers.
• No Subscriptions: I hate recurring fees. The app has a generous free tier and a true one-time payment for premium. You pay once and own it forever.

✨ What’s New (Since Launch)

• ⌚ Apple Watch App: Log habits directly from your wrist. Includes a watch face complication so your progress is always visible.
• ❤️ HealthKit Auto-Complete: Connect a habit to Apple Health and it completes itself. Steps, workouts, sleep — no manual tapping required.
• 🔴 Negative Habits: Not every habit is something you want more of. Break bad habits by tracking your "clean days" streaks. The app handles the math to ensure your streaks reflect your real, consistent progress.
• ⏱️ Timed Habits: Built-in countdown timer. Start a session for "meditate 10 min" and Stepwise tracks the time for you.
• 📊 Advanced Analytics: Detailed insights and patterns. The "Best Times" daily patterns are sorted chronologically (morning to evening) so you can easily read your day as a timeline.
• 📅 Flexible Frequency: Habits don't have to be daily. Set specific days (Mon/Wed/Fri) or a weekly target (e.g., 3x/week).
• 🏷️ Tags & Notes: Organize habits by area of life and log what you learned each day. Your notes live in the habit history like a lightweight journal.
• 🎨 Themes & Localization: Personalize with color themes. Now fully localized in 13 languages.

💎 Pricing

• Free Tier: Track up to 3 habits, iCloud sync, widgets, tags, notes, and one-tap completion.
• Premium ($9.99 ONE-TIME): Unlimited habits, HealthKit integration, advanced analytics, data export, and all themes. No recurring fees.
