Overview

While scrolling Instagram I found an eye‑catching habit‑tracking template on Notion, but it turned out to be paid. Instead of hunting for free alternatives that didn’t quite fit, I decided to build my own.

Focus & Grow

Focus & Grow is a minimalistic, distraction‑free monthly habit tracker built with TypeScript, React, and Tauri. It aims to be:

  • Clean & simple – no clutter, just your habits and progress
  • Privacy‑first – 100 % local storage, no login required
  • Powerful analytics – streaks, trends, completion rates
  • Exportable – share your monthly consistency chart as an image
  • Desktop‑ready – runs natively via Tauri or in a browser

Download & Source

  • Download the ready‑to‑use app from Itch.io.
  • Explore or contribute to the code on GitHub.

How You Can Help

I’d love a few minutes of your time to:

  • Test the app and share feedback
  • Suggest new features or improvements

Feedback Topics

  • How intuitive the interface feels
  • Desired additional features
  • General suggestions for improvement

Thanks a ton for reading! 💛 If you try it, feel free to comment below—I’d love to hear how you focus and grow.
