I’ve been using and building Conjure[0] for 2 years, because I didn’t find the particular experience I wanted out there and wanted it to help me intentionally build and maintain behaviors conducive to life satisfaction and subjective well-being with minimal friction.

I explored a variety of things prior including Habitica, Beeminder, Forte, Everyday, Nomie (all excellent and strong in various dimensions).

Some of the use cases I had were:

- Be real time across web and mobile

- Keyboard shortcuts and a command Menu

- Automatically completing habits through rules and automation

- Have time based Habits (eg do 30 mins of reading a day)

- Habits be linked to Objectives/Goals and personal KPIs

- API and integrations with Apple Health, Zapier and others

- Variations of Habit Completions (eg Sick Days, Emergency Modes, etc)

- Different views (eg Day View, Week View)

- Dashboards and reporting

I’ve been using Conjure to build Conjure for myself these past 2 years, bootstrapped and solo.

It fits my daily needs and those of a growing community of users, but I learned in the process, different solutions work best for different people. Some people want a very simple solutions to track 2-3 habits a day, others want to track 18 things a day in a sophisticated manner.

Awesome work! Seems like a lot of thinking had gone into this.
