Habits stick when someone is watching.
HabitFlame is an iPhone habit tracker built around one idea: pair with a friend, partner or family member, and with Premium each shared habit you complete shows up on their phone the moment it happens. Streaks, a focus timer and reminders do the rest.

Sam nudged you: still time for your walk.
You and your partner, one week, side by side. Every flame is a habit one of you completed.
What the app does
Track any habit your way
Yes or no, a count, a duration, or a multi check-in for habits you do 2 to 4 times a day. Schedule each habit every day, on specific days, or as a weekly target.
Keep the streak alive
See your current and longest streak for every habit. Milestones at 7, 14, 21, 30, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 365, 500 and 1000 days get a celebration, and 16 achievement badges mark the bigger wins.
Pair with an accountability partner
Send an invite link and pair for free. With Premium, every habit you share and complete is sent to your partner the moment it happens, with milestone alerts and an evening warning when a streak is at risk; your partner does not need Premium to receive them. Free accounts get 3 nudges a month and a combined weekly count of what you both completed.
Focus with a built-in timer
A Pomodoro timer runs 25 minute work sessions with 5 minute breaks and a 15 minute long break, so a habit like reading or deep work has its time carved out.
Get reminders that change
Set a reminder time per habit. The wording varies from day to day instead of repeating the same alert.
Glance from the home screen
Interactive widgets show today's habits, your progress and streaks, and a partner widget shows how their day is going when they have Premium. Tap to complete without opening the app.
Free to start, one payment to unlock everything
The free version includes 5 habits, all tracking types, streaks, badges, widgets, iCloud sync, Apple Health and a partner with 3 nudges a month. Premium is a one-time purchase of $9.99, not a subscription, and adds unlimited habits, habit stacking, smart insights, real-time partner updates and unlimited partner nudges.

Questions
- Is HabitFlame free?
- Yes. The free version tracks up to 5 habits with every tracking type, streaks, badges, widgets, reminders, the focus timer, iCloud sync, Apple Health and an accountability partner with 3 nudges a month. Premium is a one-time purchase of $9.99 that removes the habit limit and adds habit stacking, smart insights, real-time partner updates and unlimited nudges.
- Do I need an account?
- No. HabitFlame works the moment you open it. Your habits are stored on your device and in your own iCloud. With Premium, the shared habits you complete are delivered to your partner through HabitFlame's pairing service and Apple push notifications. Without Premium, the service carries your nudges, reactions and a weekly count of your completions, never individual habits. What pairing itself stores is set out in the privacy policy. Pairing with a partner uses an invite link, not a username or password.
- Which devices does it run on?
- HabitFlame is an iPhone and iPad app from the App Store. There is no Android or web version.
- Does my partner need to pay?
- No. Pairing, reactions and nudges are free for both of you. Real-time partner updates are bought by the person whose completions are sent: if you have Premium, your partner gets each of your shared completions instantly without paying. With both of you on the free version, you see a combined weekly count of what you completed and can nudge each other.
