A single developer can build a useful self-hosted habit-and-timer web app (year grid, streaks, timer) using existing OSS components, but reproducing the polished mobile apps, AI integrations, leaderboards and production polish of the paid product is larger work and not covered by the minimal replacement.

On cash alone, building overtakes the subscription at 2 seats.

No open-source build does this yet

Nothing published replaces this one, so a replacement starts from an empty file. Here is what it would have to cover.

What a replacement has to do

  • Record/check habits and tasks, earn XP and see year-grid visualizations.

What it still won’t have

  • Native iOS/Android apps and App Store/Play Store distribution
  • Polished UI/UX animations and production polish
  • Built-in AI integrations (Connect Claude, ChatGPT) and webhooks
  • Leaderboards, community features and lifetime purchase handling
  • Push notifications / iOS Live Activity (native features)

What remains hard

  • Product polish and ongoing maintenance

Runnable build prompt

Not run yet
Build a self-hosted minimal web habit tracker using Next.js (React) + TypeScript, Supabase (Postgres + Realtime), and Vercel for hosting. In scope: user auth (email/OAuth), Postgres schema for users/habits/tasks/goals/xp/badges, CRUD web UI with a year-grid visualization, a browser focus timer that records sessions and links to tasks, realtime sync (Supabase Realtime or WebSocket) across tabs/devices, background job to compute streaks/XPs and simple analytics endpoints, and CI + Dockerfile for the API. Out of scope: native iOS/Android apps, ChatGPT/Claude integrations, leaderboards and community features. Require input validation, error handling, API tests (unit + integration for core endpoints), and basic end-to-end tests for the main user flows.

  • Evidence score60

The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time - so the same evidence always produces the same number.
