Alright, don’t hold back.

I built a habit tracking app called Habstick.

Current stats:

• ~65K downloads (Android)
• Recently launched on iOS
• Making around $200/month
• Added a paywall in February

What it does:

• Offline-first (no internet needed)
• No login, no tracking, no ads
• Simple habit tracking (daily/weekly, streaks, heatmaps)
• Reminders + widgets
• 13+ languages
• Data stays on-device with encrypted backups

Positioning:

“Minimalist, privacy-first habit tracker”

Website:

https://www.habsticks.in/

What I think is good:

• People who care about privacy actually like it
• It’s fast, no clutter, no BS
• Works fully offline (rare in this space)

What I know is weak:

• Monetization is trash (conversion is low)
• No strong hook vs competitors
• Feels like “just another habit tracker”
• iOS is basically dead right now

My questions (but roast beyond this):

• Why would anyone pay for this over free alternatives?
• Is “privacy + offline” actually a selling point or just developer ego?
• Does this have any chance to scale or is it a dead-end utility app?

Tear it apart.
