Background

I was scrolling through Instagram and found an amazing habit‑tracking template on Notion, but it turned out to be a paid product. Instead of hunting for free alternatives that didn’t quite fit, I decided to create my own solution.

Focus & Grow

Focus & Grow is a minimalistic, distraction‑free monthly habit tracker built with TypeScript, React, and Tauri. It aims to provide a clean, privacy‑first experience with powerful analytics.

Features

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

Getting Started

  • Download the ready‑to‑use app from Itch.io for a smooth experience.
  • Explore the source code on GitHub if you want to tinker or contribute.

Feedback

I’d love to hear your thoughts! Please take a few minutes to test the app and share feedback or suggest new features. I’m especially curious about:

  • How intuitive the interface feels.
  • Any additional features you’d like to see.
  • Suggestions for improvement.

Conclusion

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