1Better is a goal-tracking app built around one idea: get 1% better every day. You set a baseline for something you care about — pushups, reading, running, meditation, whatever — and the app gives you a small daily target that grows with you over time.
It's not a habit tracker that just checks boxes. It tracks real numbers so you can see actual, measurable progress.
When you create a goal, you set your current baseline — what you can comfortably do today. The app uses a compound growth model to calculate your daily target, nudging it up by a small percentage each period.
You choose your improvement rate and cadence (daily, weekly, etc.). The increases are so small you barely notice them day-to-day, but they add up significantly over weeks and months.
Anything you can measure with a number. Some popular ones:
You set the name, the unit, and the baseline. It's fully customizable.
Absolutely. When you create a goal, you choose which days of the week are active. Rest days are built in — the app only expects you to show up on the days you've committed to. Your streak won't break on a scheduled rest day.
Life happens. Missing a day doesn't reset your progress or punish you. Your targets don't spike to "catch up" — they continue from where you are. The app is designed to encourage consistency, not perfection.
Everything stays on your device. Your goals, logs, streaks, and milestones are stored locally — nothing is sent to any server. We don't have accounts, logins, or cloud sync. Your data is yours and only yours.
The flip side: if you delete the app, your data goes with it. There's no way for us to recover it. See our Privacy Policy for the full details.
Not yet. 1Better is currently iOS only. Android is something we'd love to explore in the future, but there's no timeline right now.
Not currently, but it's on our radar. We want to make sure the core iPhone experience is rock solid first.
Yes. You can set up daily reminders that nudge you to log your progress. The notifications are generated locally on your device — nothing goes through external servers. You can customize the timing or turn them off entirely in settings.
Your streak counts consecutive days where you logged progress on your active days. Scheduled rest days don't break your streak — only missing an active day does. The app celebrates milestones at 7 days, 30 days, and beyond to keep you motivated.
