A Habit Tracker That Lives Right on Your Dashboard
Most habit apps are an island. You check a box in one app, track your tasks in another, watch your goals in a third — and the daily ritual of "did I actually do the things that matter?" gets scattered across screens.
Baton Board puts the habit tracker on the same board as everything else. Your streaks sit next to your tasks, your goals, and your KPIs — so the small daily wins and the bigger picture are in one view, on a board that lives entirely on your device.
What the habit tracker does
The habit widget is built for the real rhythm of building habits:
- A daily grid you just tap. Mark today done with one tap; the grid shows your recent days at a glance.
- Streaks. Each habit shows its current run of consecutive days (🔥), the simplest, most motivating number there is.
- Multiple habits in one widget. Track exercise, reading, writing, water — each as its own row.
- Week or month view. Switch each habit widget between a tight weekly grid and a full month calendar, and the choice is remembered.
- Completion rate. See your percentage over the last week, month, or 30 days — so you measure consistency, not just the current streak.
- Per-habit targets. Set a goal like "20 days this month," and watch done-vs-target fill in.
- Your week, your way. Choose whether the week starts on Sunday or Monday, and the grids follow.
- Reorder freely. Move habits up or down so the ones that matter most sit on top.
Habits in context, not in isolation
Because every feature in Baton Board is a widget on one board, your habit tracker doesn't live alone:
- Put it next to your tasks, so "meditate" and "ship the feature" share a screen.
- Put it next to a goal, so a daily habit and the larger target it feeds reinforce each other.
- Put it next to a KPI, so you can see the habit and the outcome it's meant to drive, side by side.
That adjacency is the point. Habits stick when they're visible in the same place you actually work.
Private by design
Your habit data is some of the most personal data you keep. In Baton Board it never leaves your device:
- No account. There's no sign-up to track a habit.
- Stored locally. Your streaks live in your browser or, on desktop, in a local file — never on our servers.
- Works offline. Mark a habit done on a plane; it just works.
- Yours to export. Your whole board, habits included, exports to a
data.jsonfile you own.
How to start tracking a habit
- Add a habit widget to your board (or pick a board that already includes one).
- Name your habits — keep it to a handful you genuinely want to build.
- Tap today each day; watch the streak grow.
- Set a monthly target and switch to month view to see your completion rate.
- Keep it visible next to your tasks and goals, so the habit stays top of mind.
Who it's for
- People building a routine — fitness, study, writing, mindfulness — who want streaks and rates, not just checkboxes.
- Founders and creators who track a daily input (publish, outreach, practice) right next to the metric it drives.
- Anyone who wants their habit data private and on their own device.
