Project Overview
Habitly is a mobile application designed to help individuals build and maintain positive daily habits by providing a simple, intuitive, and motivating platform for habit tracking. In a world filled with distractions, especially from social media and endless digital noise, Habitly offers users a structured way to stay accountable, focused, and productive.
User Interview
To validate the need for a habit-tracking app, I conducted short, informal interviews with 5 potential users (aged 20–35), primarily young professionals and students through chats, personal observations, and feedback from potential users.
A spontaneous interaction occurred when a friend reached out after seeing the app’s home screen on my WhatsApp status, expressing a desire for such an app to manage her daily habits. This led me to explore the struggles of people trying to build and maintain habits, Understand their current habit-tracking methods (if any), and gather expectations for an ideal habit tracker app.
Key Findings
- 80% currently do not use a habit tracking app, relying on mental notes or paper.
- Many users want to develop better daily habits but struggle with consistency.
- The most common distractions include social media, work overload, and forgetfulness.
- Users prefer a simple, uncluttered app interface that doesn’t overwhelm them with features.
- Reminders and accountability features are highly valued.
- Gamification (like streaks or progress badges) could help motivate continued use.
