Work

StreakSpot

2026

Offline habit app for iPhone and Android. Build streaks for the gym, class, or any place you go — check in when you arrive or by hand. Keep daily macros on the same phone.

React Native · Expo · SQLite · Next.js · App Store in review · Android APK live

streakspot.comAndroid APKAndroid install notes
Details

No account. No cloud. No ads. Streaks, visits, and meals live in on-device SQLite until you export them. Apple App Privacy: data not collected. Backup is a file you keep, not a cloud account.

  • Place-based streaks

    Tie a habit to a real place. Geofences can check you in when you arrive, even if the app is closed.

  • Manual when you need it

    Log visits by hand, confirm automatic check-ins, or skip Always location. Rest days and a start date stay in the streak math.

  • Clock reminders

    Optional times on any activity — medication, a class, a walk. They ping on active weekdays only and never log a visit.

  • Macros, simply

    Log meals with calories; protein, carbs, and fat optional. No camera, barcode, food search, or AI.

  • Private by design

    No StreakSpot account or backend. Location and notifications stay on-device. Export JSON through the share sheet.

  • Marketing site

    Next.js site at streakspot.com with i18n, privacy/terms, and the sideload APK until Play is live.
