  • One-time payment model avoids subscription friction
Weaknesses
  • Crowded habit/goal space already has Streaks, Habitica, Atomic Habits apps

Post Description

After years of building for companies, I finally built something for myself.

Aura Tracker: Habits & Goals is now live on the iOS App Store.

It's an opinionated productivity system that connects Identity → Goals → Habits → Tasks → Deep Work → Insights → Reflection, all in one smooth coherent flow. I built it because most productivity apps I used felt like productivity tools. Also, I was highly influenced by the multitude of books I read on the topic and wanted to build something for myself where I can put all my learnings into use.

PS: This was kinda on my TODO list for like almost a decade. I quit my job last year to go full solo founder mode. As long as I was employed, I used to keep watching others posting Show HN and kept wondering when my time would come. Now that it has, it feels so good. Just the same kind of joy I felt, when I wrote my first "Hello World" program on Turbo C editor as a kid (long ago).

Not sure how this product would do, but the feeling that I built something that's gonna stay forever on the internet (and hopefully change the lives of whoever uses it for the better) is a feeling that no amount of corporate bonus or RSU's can provide !!

I created my first mobile app, could use some support

Handles everything from hourly posture checks to lifetime milestones — the flexible timeframe model (hour/day/week/month/year/lifetime) is the app's clearest, practical differentiator. The local-first approach plus promised multi-device sync and a lifetime purchase option signal a privacy-minded, mature product, but this still sits in a crowded habit-tracker space and will need standout analytics, integrations, or a unique community hook to break out.
