Progress on the new @habitkit landing page! You can already check it out on staging.habitkit.app!

How to make my day in 10 seconds 🙏

Working on the new habitkit.app landing page! This time, I'm adding lots of screenshots of as many features as possible.

Sebastian Röhl @roehl.dev · 19/08/2026

Finally added proper drag and drop reordering in HabitKit.app. Now that the list performance is under control, I can play with things that redraw it a few times. Still need to work on the sensitivity though.

The next thing I'm working on is the habitkit.app landing page refresh. It really needs to match the new look of the app. Looking forward to this one! I feel like every time I redo the landing page, I leveled up my design skills a little bit!

Hard at work setting up my Grok Bot with cool automation to make my daily life as an indie app developer even easier!

Released the next HabitKit update today, and it includes a revamp of the "Compact List" view. Available for iOS and Android now!

Sebastian Röhl @roehl.dev · 17/08/2026

Okay, I'm doing this, I am trying Grok Bot! Love the design btw, will share my experiences with it!

Sebastian Röhl @roehl.dev · 16/08/2026

FOMOing hard about getting Cursor Ultra for GrokBot. OpenClaw felt pretty clunky when I tried it a few months ago, so GrokBot comes at the right time 🤔

Sebastian Röhl @roehl.dev · 16/08/2026

I haven't updated @HabitKit's ratings and reviews system once in three years. I'm not even sure I'm showing it enough. Time to take a proper look 😅

My app HabitKit.app lost its #2 spot for "habit tracker" in the US App Store to Finch. Seems like they're pushing the keyword hard lately. Let's see if I can get it back 🤞

HabitKit 1.16.1 is still in review at Google. Apple usually approves my builds the same day, so I don't know why this small bugfix takes so long 🫠

230

Sebastian Röhl @roehl.dev · 14/08/2026

I've been working on HabitKit.app a lot lately and using it just as much in my own life. I genuinely can't imagine not tracking my habits anymore. This app literally changed my life (as a user AND as an entrepreneur).

Claude built me a cool viewer to browse all the screenshots generated during integration test runs. It’s a great way to quickly confirm everything still looks right after a big refactor or design change.

New paywall design for habitkit.app! Pretty happy with the fresh look 👌 Future task: Convert it to a RevenueCat Paywall and run a lot of experiments!

New in habitkit.app: Notes for every habit. Add context to any day: what happened, how it felt, or why you missed it. And revisit it alongside your progress!

Sebastian Röhl @roehl.dev · 10/08/2026

I finally released HabitKit.app 1.16, bringing a refreshed design and the ability to add notes to your completions! Really proud of this one, I hope people like it! 🎉

It's 2026, we're living in the age of incredible AI progress... It's still not possible to separately publish two different tracks in the Google Play Console... 😢

Sebastian Röhl @roehl.dev · 07/08/2026

I know, I'm late to the party, but I connected Claude Code to the @RevenueCat MCP and it analyzed all my data and come up with a nice list of things I need to fix or test to increase my revenue... Nice!

Sebastian Röhl @roehl.dev · 06/08/2026

FocusKit's July revenue wasn't good, wasn't bad either. Happy to keep it stable at ~$500 per month right now.

Sebastian Röhl @roehl.dev · 05/08/2026

Feels like tooting my own horn, but I have to say, I really love the new FocusKit Mac companion app I've been building 😎

Sebastian Röhl @roehl.dev · 04/08/2026

Never noticed this before, but while going through my Google Search Console I saw that habitkit.app is actually generating some impressions 😲 Most clicks came from a direct "HabitKit" search. I’d love to shift that toward queries like "habit tracker" or "habit app".

The second half of 2026 will be awesome for HabitKit users. The planning is done, I made a huge roadmap which runs from 1.16 to 2.0, and I'm super excited about every single update.

Looking for a batch of fresh HabitKit beta testers, that are interested in joining the TestFlight and checking out the new design refresh for version 1.16.0. If you're interested, send me a DM!

Sebastian Röhl @roehl.dev · 30/07/2026

It’s 2026. AI is moving at breakneck speed. You still have to wait days for Google to approve your build for closed alpha testing though.

Sebastian Röhl @roehl.dev · 29/07/2026

The next habitkit.app version will get a notes section to record the cause of your success/failure 👌

Hey, it's going up again! Seems like the long summer dip is over? 🎉

Currently working on a small design refresh for HabitKit. What do you think?

First time using Claude Design, for a HabitKit UI refresh. It's actually pretty good making subtle changes and making improvements to an existing design... impressed with the results 👌

Sebastian Röhl @roehl.dev · 14/07/2026

Finally released the latest tryfocuskit.com update: You can now have a subtle tick during focus sessions. Three sounds to pick from: a Soft Tick, a Metronome, and a Pong blip. There's a volume slider, and the little metronome button in the toolbar pulses along with the beat.

Sebastian Röhl @roehl.dev · 30/06/2026

Growth for my app tryfocuskit.com has been super slow since it's launched, but the past couple of days have been great. Next steps: Release the Mac companion app and then increase prices!

Native vs cross-platform for an indie habit tracking app in 2026: if you were starting fresh today, which would you pick and why?

850

Sebastian Röhl @roehl.dev · 23/06/2026

Mac users: for a focus or timer app, do you prefer it in the system bar or as a full window? Building FocusKit for Mac right now and curious. I feel like system bar is the right choice... 🤔

Sebastian Röhl @roehl.dev · 22/06/2026

Funny how the smallest features get requested the most. For tryfocuskit.com it was a simple ticking sound during sessions. Just built it and honestly it makes a session feel so much more alive.

140

Sebastian Röhl @roehl.dev · 19/06/2026

Starting some pricing experiments for tryfocuskit.com. I'm still running the $1 / month subscription from launch, and I have added a HUGE amount of features to the app over the past couple of months. I feel like it's justified to stop the "early-adopters" pricing.

Building the native MacOS companion for tryfocuskit.com, this will be awesome! Keeping it lean, the first iteration will live on the system bar.

030

Sebastian Röhl @roehl.dev · 15/06/2026

Let’s say I rewrote habitkit.app using native technologies and shipped the top ten most requested features in one sweep. Do you think existing users could handle that many changes in a single update? 🤔

000

Sebastian Röhl @roehl.dev · 13/06/2026

Adding more sounds to tryfocuskit.com: It's really hard to find good sound effects. Can anyone recommend good resources? Would love to extend the sound library with future updates!

010

Sebastian Röhl @roehl.dev · 12/06/2026

Added a cool "ticking" sound feature for tryfocuskit.com. I think this kind of multi-sensory feedback is an awesome addition to the app! 🎧 Sound On!

Downgrading my Cursor subscription for the first time in two years. All my work is happening in Claude Code and Codex at the moment.

Anybody else feel a little disappointed by the announced Siri changes? I feel like this could’ve been “bigger.” The Fable release yesterday made me way more excited than everything Apple announced at WWDC 🤔

Themes for tryfocuskit.com are here: a selection of beautiful color schemes to make the app feel more yours. Update now and enjoy 🙌

Vibe-coding my own app/website blocker with Claude Code: Now I have a statistics screen to see where my screen time is going 👌

Sebastian Röhl @roehl.dev · 05/06/2026

I keep noticing that I don't need new tools, I need uninterrupted time. Two quiet hours beat a full day of brain-scattered work, and it's not even close.

The only productivity system that has ever worked for me as an indie dev: one release per week. It forces me to scope small, finish things, and always have something to talk about.
