Glide App Example: Habit Tracker to Build Habits

If you’ve ever tried to form a habit, e.g. running, or reading a book a month, you know just how difficult it can be.

Habits are tricky buggers because they’re fully formed actions that have been repeated so often that we don’t have to think about doing them anymore.

So how do you form habits that last?

One method is to track habits.

Introduction

Jerry Seinfeld's Productivity Secret introduced us to something called Streaks.

And if you want to track habits, a simple system to track habits would help. Wouldn't it?

A friend saw this opportunity and built an Android app too!

Not very long ago, my brother asked me to build a diet tracker app for him using Glide. He wanted it to be customizable - he wanted to decide what he wants to track without reaching out to me every time.

One thing led to another, and I decided to templatize this idea as a habit tracker app using Glide Apps. If you're new to Glide Apps, try the platform here. Glide Apps helps you build apps using a spreadsheet. Yes, it's as simple as it sounds.

About the template

• You can track up to 5 habits.
• The dashboard shows your last 7-day streak.
• You can change the habits you want to track every time (remember to clean up historical data).

App Demo

The following video shows a demo of how the app works!
