I really like the simplicity of this app, and especially love and respect that the developer did not fall into the subscription model; buy-once and forget is so great for the user.

I will say that it is missing a few key features that would really complete it for me.

Would it be possible to add in an option make some journal items occur less frequently than every day of the week? For instance, there are some things that I want to target doing once a week, or twice a week. To be able to track those as well as my daily habits, all from a single app, would be amazing. Currently I have to mix-and-match with other apps to really review a week of my life the way I'd like to.

Devs; is this possible? It would get a 5-star review from me. If N-times a week is too complicated to include, simply having the option of a once-a-week journal entry would be awesome.

What I'm currently doing is making journal entries that say something like "exercised, or took intentional rest day". This technically turns it into an every-day item, but it's kind of a non-ideal workaround to the preferred "exercised this week" option that could exist.

Chains could work the exact same way, with respect to consecutive weeks rather than consecutive days

Thanks for reading, abs for the hard work!

I’ve used Way of Life for years now. It does its job diligently, and I’ve appreciated the improvements over the years.

However, the lack of syncing has become problematic for me. I know on the surface, syncing for a habit tracker may seem like overkill which can be easily skipped.

But I keep a separate, old device beside my bed for catching notes and ideas … and Way of Life is only on my main phone.

So when I’m dozing off to sleep and remember something I need to add to a tracker, I have to make a separate note somewhere else (usually in Things), then in the morning be mindful enough to put the note in its proper place in WoL.

I do this regularly enough that it has become annoying, especially when I have multiple notes to add to different trackers. WoL is the type of app where you want to track a note when it happens, not create a sprawling system to keep it in order.

I’ve tried other trackers, several of which have sync, but prefer WoL’s simplicity. I just need this simplicity to sync across multiple devices.

I've got a bad habit of looking for a habit tracker, but this about hits the sweet spot. Fat-free, simple …but still gives the data nerd in me some info to peruse once populated. And the one-time buy is a huge, huge plus for me. The navigation can be a little wiggly getting used to it, as is flipping the script on "yes" v "no", but nothing crushing. There are one or two aspects of the navigation that appear to do nothing (or I'm not as bright as I thought) or are vestigial, and support has yet to reply, but I don't seem to be missing anything in making it work and track for right now. Other than that, nice and clean and self-contained. In and out without a lot of pointless distractions that build bad habits while working on others. Looking forward to filling it up to keep getting that bigger picture and for where this might go and what else they might do. If you want a tracker without overkill data and cutesy eye-candy fluff, this might be for you.
