Habit Trackers
Category orientation
In habit trackers, things usually break when recording the habit starts feeling like one more task to manage.
Start with the filter that checks daily friction first, because this category usually fails when the tracker is too annoying to keep opening.

Fast to use daily
Daily use is the main failure point here: if checking in takes too much effort, the habit disappears before the tracker helps.

Open filterHow these filters work
Each filter checks a different way habit trackers fail.
Tools that break under that condition get eliminated first.
The goal is to narrow toward the trackers that still hold up under the limit you care about most.
