Coming soon to the App Store · iOS & iPadOS
Habits become patterns.
Patterns is an iOS habit tracker where every habit you complete weaves a tile into a growing, generative canvas that's unique to you. Miss a day and the pattern bends — it doesn't break.

Why patterns, not streaks
Built to survive a bad week
Most habit trackers reward you with a number that goes up, then punish you by smashing it back to zero the first day you slip. That's not how habits actually form, and it's why so many trackers end up deleted by February.
Streaks that forgive
One missed day never erases your progress. The streak only breaks after two misses in a row — that's what the research on habit formation actually supports, not the all-or-nothing count most apps use.
Cues, not nagging
Every habit in Patterns is set up as an if-then plan — "after I make coffee, I will stretch" — the exact structure shown to triple follow-through. Reminders quote your own plan back to you, not a guilt trip.
Private by design
No account, no ad trackers, no third-party analytics. Your habits sync through your own private iCloud and never touch a server we run — there isn't one to store them on.
How it works
From tiny habit to finished pattern
-
Pick one to three tiny habits
Two minutes of stretching beats a gym plan you'll abandon by Thursday. Patterns nudges you to shrink any habit that isn't sticking instead of shaming you for missing the big version.
-
Long-press to weave it in
Each completion stitches a colored tile into your month's canvas. Do two habits the same day and the threads visibly cross — habit stacking, made visible instead of theoretical.
-
Miss a day without losing everything
A missed day shows up as a muted stitch, not a broken streak. Patterns' "don't miss twice" nudge shows up the next day so one slip stays a slip, not a spiral.
-
Watch the pattern become proof
Weeks become rows, months become finished canvases, and after thirty days you have a one-of-a-kind pattern that exists because you actually did the thing — repeatedly, imperfectly, and enough.
The research behind it
Not another gamified guilt machine
Patterns is designed around the actual behavior-science literature on habit formation, not around what keeps you opening an app the longest.
01
Implementation intentions
Vague goals fail. "After I brush my teeth, I will floss" is a concrete plan your brain can execute on autopilot — research puts the follow-through gain at roughly two to three times a bare goal.
02
One miss isn't a relapse
Habit-formation studies show a single missed day barely dents your progress — it's the second consecutive miss that matters. Patterns' streak math is built around that finding, not around a shame spiral.
03
Identity over outcome
People who see themselves as "someone who exercises" outlast people chasing a number on a scale. Every completion in Patterns counts as a small vote for the identity you're building, not just a checkbox.
Questions
Frequently asked
When does Patterns launch on the App Store?
Patterns is in final development for iOS and iPadOS. Join the waitlist and you'll get one email the moment it's available, plus first access to any TestFlight beta before the public launch.
Is Patterns free?
Patterns is free to download with a 2-week free trial of Patterns Pro. After the trial, Patterns Pro is $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year. You can cancel anytime in your Apple ID subscription settings.
What happens if I miss a day?
Nothing breaks. Patterns uses a resilience streak that only resets after two consecutive missed days, because a single miss doesn't actually disrupt habit formation. A missed day shows up as a muted stitch the pattern grows around, not a red X or a reset to zero.
Does Patterns work with Apple Health?
Patterns tracks any habit you define yourself, whether or not it relates to health, and does not import from or export to Apple Health in the initial release.
Will there be an Android or web app?
Patterns is iOS and iPadOS only at launch. There's no Android or web app planned right now, but if that changes we'll email the waitlist.
How is my data stored?
Your habits and completions sync through your own private iCloud account. Patterns has no account system and no server that stores your habit data. You can delete all your data from within the app at any time. See the privacy policy for details.
