Is Committed a habit tracker or a to-do list?

Both. Committed puts your tasks and your habits in the same Today view, so the things you have to finish and the routines you are trying to keep sit in one list instead of two separate apps.

Can it track habits you are trying to quit?

Yes. Alongside habits you count up, such as fifty pushups, Committed supports count down habits for things you want to do less of, such as cigarettes or drinks, and measures progress in that direction.

Yes. Habits, tasks and projects are all unlimited on the free plan, and so is your history, however far back it goes. Pro adds momentum analytics and reminders for $3.99 a month or $39.99 a year.

Does Committed have recurring tasks?

Yes. You can type a schedule in plain language, such as "every other tuesday". Completing a recurring task moves it to its next date rather than closing it.

What is a GitHub-style habit tracker?

It borrows the contribution graph from GitHub: one small square per day, arranged as a calendar, shaded darker the more you did. A year of effort fits in a single glance, and the gaps are as legible as the runs.

Can the squares show numbers rather than just done or not done?

Yes. In Committed each square carries the number you logged, and the shade is set by how close that number came to your goal, so twelve pushups and a hundred pushups are visibly different days.

Can it track a habit I am trying to quit?

Yes. A count-down habit runs the other way: you set the number you are reducing from and the target you want to reach, and a day shades darker the closer to the target you land. Drinks, cigarettes and screen time all work this way.

How is the momentum score calculated?

Out of 100, from four parts: 40% the days you hit your goal in the last week, 30% the days you hit it in the last month, 20% your current streak with full marks at fourteen days, and 10% how far into each goal you got on average.

The commit graph, for your life

A tick cannot tell twelve pushups from a hundred

Most habit grids record one bit per day: you did the thing, or you did not. That bit is enough to draw a streak, and streaks are motivating right up until the morning you manage twelve pushups instead of your usual hundred and the app records it exactly the same as the day you did nothing at all.

Committed writes the number into the square and sets the shade from how close it came to your goal. A light square is a day you showed up tired. An empty one is a day you did not show up. Those are different facts about your life and the graph should say so.

Pushups

Ninety days, climbing from ten a day to a hundred. Rest days left in.

Less

Real data from a real habit shape. Switch to Year to see the same run as a full contribution graph.

Why the graph works

The honest version is that nobody has proven a contribution graph makes people more consistent. What can be said without overclaiming is narrower, and still useful.

A grid shows a month at once, so one missed day reads as one pale square among thirty rather than as a counter resetting to zero. That proportionality is the real difference from a streak number, which turns a single bad Tuesday into the loss of everything before it. The behaviour a streak counter most reliably produces is quitting after you break one.

The idea is also older than GitHub. Comedians and writers have kept wall calendars with a mark for every day worked for far longer than the contribution graph has existed, and the appeal is the same: a record you can see across the room, where the run itself becomes the thing you do not want to spoil.

What the graph will not do is make a badly chosen goal achievable. If you set sixty minutes and average thirty-eight, a year of pale squares is an accurate picture of a target that was wrong, not of a person who failed.

Streaks versus momentum

One number for how the month actually went

A streak answers one question: how many days in a row. It cannot tell you whether this month beat last month, and it is destroyed by a single missed day no matter how good the fifty before it were.

Momentum is a score out of 100 that survives a bad Tuesday. Here is exactly how it is built, because a score you cannot inspect is a score you have no reason to trust.

40%Days you hit the goal in the last weekWhat you did recently counts most.
30%Days you hit the goal in the last monthOne good week is not a habit yet.
20%Your current streak, full marks at fourteen daysRewards the run without making it everything.
10%How far into each goal you got, averagedThirty pushups beats zero, and the score says so.

Two consequences worth stating plainly. A perfect score needs a fortnight of hitting every goal, so 100 is reachable but not casually. And your streak is never broken by today: a run survives until the day is actually over, so an unfinished afternoon does not cost you a month of work.

The other direction

Some habits you are trying to do less of

Every habit grid can count up. Almost none can count down, so the things people most want to change, drinks, cigarettes, hours on a phone, end up tracked as a yes or no about whether you were perfect. Committed treats reducing as its own shape: you set what you are starting from and what you are aiming at, and a day shades darker the closer to the target you land.

Set the direction

Twenty a day down to zero. The goal is the floor, not the ceiling.

Log what happened

Three today. Not a failure, a number, and a shade closer than yesterday.

Scored the right way

Momentum counts a low number as the win it is, rather than as nothing done.

Against the other GitHub-style trackers

HabitHeat and init.Habits both build good versions of this idea, and both already let you put a value in a cell rather than a bare tick. The rows below say so. Where Committed differs is what happens after the graph is drawn.

Feature	Committed	HabitHeat, init.Habits
A year of days as one graph	Yes	Yes
A number inside the square, not just a tick	Yes	Yes, on both
Habits you are trying to do less of	Counted down, and shaded by how close to zero you got	Not offered
A single score for how the month went	0 to 100, with the weights published below	Not offered
Tasks in the same app	Projects, due dates, priorities, recurring tasks	Habits only
