Yez3 is a habit tracker app built for real life. You put each habit on your daily plan in up to three sizes — Minimum, 100% and Maximum. Close your Minimum and the day is a win that grows your streak. Planned days off don't count against you, freezes earned in strong weeks cover a missed day, and the AI coach notices when you slip.
Why do most people quit habit tracker apps?
Usually because of one bad day. The streak resets to zero, the chain feels broken, and the app becomes a reminder of failure. But a single miss doesn't undo a habit: in a study at University College London, Lally and colleagues (2010) found that missing one day didn't materially affect habit formation, which took a median of 66 days. Yez3's streak rules are built around that.
How does the Yez3 habit tracker work?
- Add a habit as a recurring task — daily, on chosen weekdays or monthly. It lands in the right plan automatically.
- Give it sizes. Minimum: "run 5 minutes". 100%: "run 20 minutes". Maximum: "run 40 minutes".
- Set a reminder for the time you'll do it.
- Close your Minimum. The day is a win and your streak grows.
- Look back. The calendar shows your days, and charts cover the last 6 weeks.
| Day | When | Streak |
|---|---|---|
| Win | All critical tasks in your Minimum are closed | Grows |
| Day off | A weekday you marked as a day off | Not affected |
| Neutral | No critical tasks in your Minimum | Not affected |
| Miss | Critical Minimum tasks were planned but not all closed | Breaks — unless a freeze covers it |
Streak freezes ❄️
You earn one freeze for every 7 counted days with at least 5 wins, and can keep up to 7. Miss a day, and a freeze is used automatically. Freezes are earned, not bought.
What does an AI coach add to a habit tracker?
A tracker records what happened. A coach notices what's happening. When a key habit is still open near the end of your day, the Yez3 coach writes first and asks what's in the way. If the same blocker comes up three times — "too tired after work" — it says so and suggests a change, like moving the habit to the morning. Close your Minimum and it celebrates by name: "Walk 10 minutes — day 12 in a row 🔥".
What's the difference between a habit tracker and a streak app?
A habit tracker records each habit day by day; a streak app focuses on keeping an unbroken chain. Yez3 combines both: your habits live on your daily plan, and one streak counts the days you closed your Minimum. That means one streak to protect, not ten.
| Classic habit tracker | Streak app | Yez3 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unit | Each habit, each day | An unbroken chain | Your day: Minimum closed or not |
| One miss | Gap in the grid | Chain resets | Freeze or day off covers it |
| Small version for bad days | Rarely | Rarely | Built in (Minimum) |
| Tasks next to habits | No | No | Yes, same plan |
| Someone checks in | No | No | AI coach |
What should I track on a habit tracker?
Track 3–5 habits that move your main goal, each with a version small enough for your worst day.
| Goal | Habit | Minimum | 100% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Health | Walk | 10 minutes | 30 minutes |
| Fitness | Run | 5 minutes | 20 minutes |
| Money | Log spending | 1 minute | Weekly review |
| Mind | Read | 2 pages | 20 pages |
| Sleep | Phone away | 10:30 pm | 10 pm |
| Learning | Language | 1 lesson | 15 minutes |
| Relationships | Reach out | 1 message | 1 call |
Who is the Yez3 habit tracker for?
- People who've quit habit apps before after one bad week.
- People with ADHD who need small steps, reminders and a nudge. Yez3 is a planning tool, not a treatment.
- People with goals, not just habits — tasks and habits live on the same plan.
- People who switch devices — iPhone, Android and web with the same data; the mobile app works offline.
Habit tracker app FAQ
Is the Yez3 habit tracker app free?
Yez3 is a subscription with a free trial for new subscribers. The price depends on your country and is shown in the App Store or Google Play before you pay. If you want a free option, our printable and Google Sheets habit tracker template is free with no sign-up.
Does Yez3 track a streak for each habit?
No — Yez3 counts one streak for your whole day: close all critical tasks in your Minimum and the day is a win. Your habits sit inside that Minimum. You can see each habit's history in the calendar, but there's one streak to protect instead of ten.
What happens if I miss a day?
If you have a freeze, it's used automatically and your streak continues. Days you mark as days off never break it. Without a freeze, the streak starts again — and the coach helps you find what got in the way and make tomorrow's Minimum easier.
Does it have reminders?
Yes. Set a reminder for any task at the time you choose, and use recurring tasks for daily, weekly or monthly habits. On top of reminders, the AI coach checks in if a key task is still open near the end of your day.
Is Yez3 a good habit tracker for ADHD?
Many people with ADHD do better with tiny first steps, reminders and someone who checks in, and Yez3 has all three, plus a brain dump and a focus timer. It's a planning tool, not a treatment, and works alongside your existing support.
Is there a habit tracker widget?
Yes. The Yez3 widget shows today's plan and your streak on the home screen, so you see your habits without opening the app.
Does it have rewards?
Yez3 doesn't use points or a game. The reward is the win itself: close your Minimum and the coach celebrates by name, your streak grows and strong weeks earn streak freezes.
