Octo Tend's Today screen: the octopus at 64%, Steady, above today's habits

A closer look

Built to be kind to you

Every screen is there to help you come back tomorrow, not to make you feel behind.

One octopus. All your habits. Start in one tap: popular habits, ready to go, or make your own. Miss a day. Nothing breaks: rest days never count against you. See when you show up: heatmaps and patterns, not pressure. Log it from your home screen: rings, heatmaps and your octopus, a tap away. A kind word, every week: a short reflection on how it went.

What's inside

Everything a habit needs, nothing it doesn't

Every day, or a few times a week

Daily habits, chosen weekdays, or a weekly target. It fits your week instead of a rigid streak.

Habits you can time

“Read for 20 minutes” comes with a built-in timer, so time spent counts as well as ticks.

Quitting counts too

For habits you're leaving behind, quiet days count as success, and a slip is just a moment.

Rest days and pauses

Take a day off on purpose, or pause a habit when life gets busy. Neither counts against you.

Templates and groups

Start from ready-made habits or write your own, then sort them into groups that make sense to you.

Heatmaps and patterns

See when you show up, which days carry you, and how each habit has been going.

A kind word every week

A short written reflection at the end of each week: what held steady, and what you got back to.

Gentle reminders

One quiet nudge a day, or one per habit. A reminder, never a guilt trip.

Home-screen widgets

Your octopus, today's progress, tap-to-log rings and a three-week heatmap, right on your home screen.

The octopus

It glows as you show up

Its brightness follows how consistently you've kept your habits over the last two weeks. Rest days and paused habits are left out, so a planned break never dims it. It never dies and never scolds: come back, and it brightens again.
