Plain streak
A clean, classic streak. Every period counts, and a miss starts a fresh one. Simple and clear.
A full kit for habits that survive real life: ramp up gently, hold a streak on a bad day, let a habit check itself in, and bring people in when that’s what helps.
Stetig is finishing beta with a small group of testers. The download link lands here the day it ships.
Thursday got away from you. A shield covered it, so the run held instead of resetting.
What it is
Most habit apps are a checkbox and a number that resets. Stetig is the rest of it: the parts that decide whether a habit is still here in six months.
Start below what you can manage and ramp up on your own schedule. Tie a habit to a time and place, or stack it onto one you already keep. Set a floor that still counts on a bad day. Let Apple Health check it in for you. Put it on your Lock Screen. Sit down and do it alongside someone.
Take the ones that help. Ignore the rest. They’re techniques, not rules.
How it works
Tap once when you’ve done the thing. Nothing else to fill in, no forms, no scoring yourself out of ten.
Hit the floor instead of the target when it’s a hard one. Let Health log it. Ramp up only when the current step feels easy.
Miss one, and it doesn’t have to undo the run. Every habit carries its own way of surviving a miss.
When you miss a day
Pick how each habit handles a missed day. They’re alternatives, so choose the one that fits, and change it whenever you like.
A clean, classic streak. Every period counts, and a miss starts a fresh one. Simple and clear.
Bank a shield and it quietly covers a missed period, so your streak holds. Earn them from milestones and from helping groupmates. A rainy-day reserve.
One miss is fine. Missing once is an accident; missing twice is how a habit slips away. This keeps your streak alive through a single slip.
Set a smaller floor that still counts on hard days. Do at least the floor and your streak holds. Showing up a little beats not at all.
These are techniques, not rules. Try one, keep what helps, leave the rest.
Groups
Almost nobody keeps a habit on willpower alone, and being noticed gently, by a few people doing the same thing, is one of the more reliable things there is. Groups come in three shapes, because “we’re runners” and “30 days, starting Monday” are not the same promise.
Identity
A few people becoming the same kind of person. One habit or a dozen, whatever that takes: runners run, but they also sleep and stretch like runners. Usually ongoing, though a marathon group can have a finish line.
Fixed run
Something difficult, with a start and a finish: 75 Hard, 66 days, or one you invent. Everyone runs it at the same time and sees how everyone else is doing, which is most of what gets people to the end. What you keep afterwards is up to you.
Pooled
Everyone’s effort adds into one number. Nobody competes; a slow week from you is covered by someone else’s good one.
You can also start solo and stay that way. Plenty of people do, and nothing here nags you to invite anyone.
Stacking
Chain a new habit onto one you already keep, so finishing the first cues the second. A routine is far easier to hold than a list of separate things to remember.
A chain shows up in your day as one slot that walks forward as you check things off, not four reminders competing for the same morning.
The anchor does the work. You already make the coffee; you don’t need willpower for it. Hanging the new thing off it borrows that reliability.
Together
Pick a habit and a length. Anyone who shares that habit can drop in, a countdown runs on everyone’s screen at once, and you can see who else is in the room. No camera, no reporting back.
The hard part of a habit is usually starting, not doing. Knowing someone else begins at the same moment removes most of the negotiation. The decision is already made, and leaving early means leaving in front of someone.
Known as body doubling. It has been a working practice in ADHD support for years, for exactly this reason.
Glimpses
A photo or a few words attached to a check-in, so a day is more than a tick in a box. On your own habits it’s yours to offer or skip. A group can ask for one on a habit it requires, and you see which habits ask before you join.
“Two glasses in before lunch. Easier than yesterday.”
Quiet by design
Start with one habit and the smallest version of it. Add the tools that help as you go, and people whenever you want them. Takes a minute.
