What is Neohabit?
Neohabit is a self-hosted habit tracker that lets you define habits with flexible frequencies such as "X times in Y days" rather than simple daily streaks. It features several heatmap visualizations — monochromatic, numeric, and fractured — to suit different tracking styles. Habits can be grouped into projects for day-to-day tracking, and skilltrees help plan progressions. The stack uses a React frontend, Go backend, and PostgreSQL database, deployed via Docker Compose with Caddy as a reverse proxy. It supports multiple accounts, dark and light themes, keyboard shortcuts, and a polished mobile web interface. The project is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and accepts cryptocurrency donations.
