Welcome to this edition of the Weekly Indie Log! I will discuss all things Habit Pixel - my habit tracker app for iOS/Android - including revenue, updates and upcoming plans.
As usual, we will start our blog post with a review of the numbers!

Downloads

Habit Pixel has had tremendous growth over the last week, adding an additional ~800 users from the ~1300 we had last week.
As we stand today, these are the numbers:

Revenue & MRR

Both MRR & revenue nearly doubled this week and I am pretty happy with that!
The goal still is to hopefully reach $100 MRR by the end of June.
Total number of subscribers is current 21.

This is the breakdown of how the revenue is distributed currently:

As you can see, yearly plan is leading the way, followed closely by monthly plans and lifetime plans.
Obviously, I prefer monthly/yearly recurring revenue as this makes my app business more sustainable over time.

The features driving the pro plan sales still remain unlimited habits and the gap is increasing as between the next most requested feature.
Widgets was previously second in the list but not finds itself third.

User Spotlight

The week came with some more positive reviews of the app and here’s some of the words being said about it:

Week’s Focus

Last week I shipped v2.41.0 - which contains the new onboarding flow and several bug fixes - along with Expo SDK 53.
The goal this week is to get back on improving the UX and feature of the app, while maintaining its simplicity.

Revamped Calendar UI

One of my goals for this week is to revamp the calendar UI for going back in time to check-in habits.

Previously it was behind a toggle button next to the categories icon but I decided to move it to the bottom of the screen and it will show/hide based on the user scrolling.
This is a video I posted on X to show the new layout:

Category Analytics

I will also try to implement category analytics, which will roll-up analytics of all the different habits into a consolidated view under the analytics tab. Still thinking about the UX - but hopefully can ship an MVP this week.

Share Habits

I also want to implement a share habit option so that users can share their habits as images to social media/friends/family to keep accountability.

Multi Views

Besides the Github-style interface displayed on the app main page, I also want to provide some alternative layouts for those preferring a more conventional layout like lists.
This will also come with new widgets.

Wrapping Up

I will keep it at that for this week and some smaller stuff. I am planning on two big big features in the week after - I am excited to share this to you in the next couple of week. First however, I need to get the “smaller” stuff off my plate then full steam to the next big items.
The goal is to make Habit Pixel the market leader in habit tracking. The app has been designed from ground up to be that and all the decisions made is geared towards it.
Let’s see how far I can make it! 😎
