Habit tracking

Mmentum

A focused habit tracker built around small, repeated steps.

A smaller commitment

Mmentum grew out of wanting a simple way to track and build my own habits. The idea was to focus on small steps repeated over time, rather than a large commitment made all at once.

Keeping the scope focused

The app centered on habit tracking and incremental progress. That narrow focus was the product: a clean, simple way to keep working toward a habit.

Building with LiveView

I used Elixir, Phoenix, LiveView, and Tailwind CSS. Working with Elixir and Phoenix had a large impact on how much I enjoyed developing the app.

The screenshots below show the development version using the demo account. The original product site describes the idea in more detail.
