Non-daily routines are a useful feature

Looks sweet will check it out, been playing with lift, but I like how you can do non-daily routines here.

Objections
No history or progress view in this version
From 2 comments
This is probably the best looking of the habit tracking/streak apps I've used. However, there's no way to track progress and view history, so I'll stick with Habit List. I'll…

Android version
From 3 comments
Would be great to try, but I have an android phone. Is there a way to get notified, if and when an android version gets released?
kilroy123 on HNWould love to try this on Android. You should setup a mailing list to keep people up to date if that's ever released.
bsgreenb on HNDoes anyone have a suggestion for an app like this for android?

Export history to CSV or JSON
From 1 comment
A few other suggestions while we're at it: 1. The pull down to add is not intuitive. Just use a + button in the right hand corner. 2. Have the ability to export history to email…

Journal or notebook integration
From 1 comment
I keep hearing that keeping a daily notebook is essential in tracking progress and if you tie into your app that would be a nice feature Can't wait for the android version

Mailbox (design reference)
From 1 comment
I would consider using different colors and icons than Mailbox. My only gripe with this, the product looks great otherwise.
