Building new habits is a step towards wellness that pays off in the long run, and it helps to have some way to monitor your progress. Grow is a habit tracker that encourages you to establish routines while celebrating milestones and, essentially, celebrating yourself.

What we love: The app is designed to minimise distractions. You’ve got colours for different habits and a percentage counter for how much of the month or the year the new habit timeline covers. If you ping the percentage indicator, you can see the particular days of the week contributing to a chosen goal, helpful if you’ve introduced a cheat day into your weekly plan.

Quick tip: While doing some advance planning, tap the target icon instead of going back period by period to get to the present day.
