Cadence

A quiet place to keep small things going.

Habits are built one day at a time, and Cadence is designed to make that one day feel worth showing up for. Add the routines you want to keep — daily, or on specific weekdays — give each a colour and an icon, and every morning check them off from a clean today screen that knows exactly what is due and marks each tick with a satisfying mark and a gentle buzz.

The picture

A year you can actually see

Each habit's whole calendar is drawn as a grid of day-cells that shade in as you complete them, so one look shows the long unbroken runs, the gaps, and the momentum building back. Beside it sit your current streak, your best-ever streak, your completion rate and a week-by-week breakdown, all redrawn the moment you check in.

Miss a day and nothing scolds you. The current streak simply resets while the best one is kept, because the point is to keep going, not to feel bad about a Tuesday.

Where it lives

All of it on the handset

An overall stats view pulls every habit into one encouraging picture, and everything is computed and stored right on your device: no account, no cloud, no ads, and reminders that live inside the app rather than nagging you with notifications. Available in English and Norwegian, with your choice of accent colour and week start.

Package com.streakgrid.cadence

A tally, not a judge. Cadence counts days and nothing else. It cannot tell whether a habit is good for you, it is not a coach and it is certainly not a health app: if a routine you are tracking concerns eating, exercise, sleep, alcohol or medication, the person to talk to about it is a doctor, not a grid. A streak is a picture of the past, not a reason to push through illness, exhaustion or a day when stopping is the sensible thing. In Norway: 113 for an ambulance, and the mental-health helpline Mental Helse is on 116 123, around the clock.

Working out

What a streak is really worth

Suppose you keep a habit on a given day with some probability, independently, for a year. The chance of ever reaching a run of a given length can be computed exactly — there is a short recurrence for the probability of never getting such a run — and the answer is not what people expect. Excellent consistency still produces a broken year, and that is the arithmetic, not a character flaw.

Keep something nine days in ten — which is very good going — and over a year the longest run you should expect is about 39 days, you will miss around 37, and the odds of a spotless 365 are roughly two in a hundred million billion. Push to 95% and the longest run rises to about 67 days, but the misses only fall to 18. Nobody has a clean grid, and a broken one is what success actually looks like.

What is not here: no habits, no grid, no streaks of yours and nothing to check off. This page has no idea what you do on any given day; it is one probability calculation about coin flips, which assumes every day is independent and equally likely — real habits are nothing like that, since momentum, illness and holidays all arrive in clumps. Your actual year lives in the app.
