Forte² - Build habits, not streaks

Forte² is here to help you track your progress as you build new habits or quit old ones. Unlike other habits trackers, Forte² doesn't set you back to zero for missing one day; Forte² gives you a score for each habit instead of just counting streaks.

👋 Hey, Product Hunt! I'm the developer of Forte². I created Forte² because I was unhappy with the state of habit trackers on the App Store. Typical habit trackers focus on streaks as the primary metric to track habit building. The problem with this is that users can build up this streak for weeks or months just to have it set back to zero in one day. In my experience, this is extremely demotivating and one study on habit formation showed missing one day did not have any affect on forming habits. That is why tracking streaks can be unhelpful in the long term. Forte² is different. Forte² calculates a score based on every time you complete (or don't) a habit each day. Failing one day will set your score back a bit, but won't reset it back to zero, giving you the opportunity to quickly get back on track. I hope you all enjoy using Forte² Please reach out and let me know if it helps you achieve your goals.

@collindaugherty do you have any intentions on making a web client or mac app? I appreciate using habit trackers that are compatible with both.

How nice to see that I'm not the only one who has noticed the basic problem of all habit trackers - all your efforts go to waste if you screw up one day and after that you don't feel good about yourself anymore! Great product, will use it!

Is there a web version available for the same?
Collin Daugherty
@sankalpkotewar Just on iOS for now. Maybe in the future I’ll have the time and resources to build a web version.

Motivation is a disappearing resource, it ends very quickly. The problem with trackers is that if the basic motivation of the user turns to zero, then the need for the application also decreases. If you can keep users in your system for more than 2 months, then it will be cool!
