Good idea, but I don't want to rely on an internet connection for this. I'd also just prefer to own the data.

I use a simple Seinfeld-style habit tracker for mine:

A pwa doesn't need an Internet connection. That's part of the definition of the term. Are you confusing the term with SPA?

> A web application is considered a PWA if it satisfies the installation criteria, thus can work offline and can be added to the device's home screen

Then this should not be called "PWA"?

When putting the iPhone in Flight Mode and deactivating WiFi, this site won’t load after it got added to the home screen.

Thank you for pointing that out. Just fixed, it should now be available to use offline
iPhone PWA are notoriously broken, they have to use the safari API and as far as I know are basically impossible to get working.
They’re not broken, this one is.
Oh… he’s right.
There was an issue with caching. Just fixed, should now work offline without issues.

As of owning the data, right now everything is stored in the localstorage of your browser. So you technically own it. There is no way to export it yet though, will be added in future

I love this app, I've used it many times in the past for tracking habits.

Just want to point out that its also open source and available on F-Droid.

I love this app, except that it takes FOREVER to reach "100%."

If I've completed a habit every day for even 10 days, I want my 100%, but this required more than 200 when I used it.
