Overview

Pixelist is a habit tracking app that uses a minimalist approach. The user opens the app, creates the habits they want to track by clicking on the “Add Habit” button on the left-hand side of the screen. The user can then choose from assorted color themes, which change the look of the screen and the pixels that appear when you complete a routine successfully.

When a routine is successfully accomplished, the user taps the space to the right of the habit name on the relevant day. A colored pixel will appear.

The user can cycle between five different colors for these pixels, either at random or because they have assigned significance to the colors. The app does not prescribe these to the user; it is for them to decide how they want to use the different colored pixels.

After the user has established their designated habits over a period of time, they can click on the month in the upper left-hand corner to see a small pixelated piece of art based on their accomplishments. Clicking on the habit itself will showcase another visualization of this specific habit rather than all of them at once.

Pixelist is free to use and is available now on iOS.
