Install Habit LabAdd to Home Screen — works offline
Run habit groups, track streaks, catch at-risk members — all in one app that lives on your phone like any other app.
Built specifically for accountability coaching — not adapted from a generic fitness app.
Members log 8 sliders + a checklist in under 2 minutes. Each entry is auto-scored from 0–100.
Members build daily streaks automatically. Life happens — freeze credits prevent streak loss.
One screen that shows you exactly who needs a nudge — before they drop off.
Friendly competition keeps members logging daily. XP carries across season resets.
7-day and 30-day views with delta badges. Export any date range to CSV.
Track who has paid, grant app access per member, and manage your group roster.
Add coaching context to any day — even days the member didn't log. Share or keep private.
Find any member instantly in a group of 100+ with real-time name filtering.
Members see a beautiful personal weekly report every time they open the app — no email needed.
Habit Lab keeps getting sharper — from real-time attendance search and shared coach feedback to in-app weekly recaps that keep members engaged without a single email.
Run multiple accountability groups from a single admin account. Switch between them instantly — no re-login, no confusion.
Stop sharing join codes. Send a personalised invite link directly to a member's inbox — one click and they're in.
Add a coaching note to any member's day — even days they didn't log. Choose to keep it private or share it directly with the member.
Find any member instantly in a large group. The attendance grid filters in real time as you type — no scrolling through pages.
Members see a personal weekly report card every time they open the app — no email, no notification, just a clean in-app popup.
If a member forgot to log yesterday, the app catches it and offers a one-tap fix — automatically switching to yesterday mode.
No setup calls, no onboarding fee. Coach and member sides are both inside the same app.
Open in Safari (iPhone) or Chrome (Android) and add to Home Screen. It behaves like any native app — no App Store required.
Set your habit metrics, check-in rules, feature toggles, and group name. Each group gets a unique join code.
Share the group code or send a personalised one-click email invite link. Members join, create an account, and you approve them in one tap.
Every morning check Coach's Insights. Spot who missed yesterday, see risk tiers, nudge with one tap — before they quit.
Habit Lab is a Progressive Web App (PWA) — it installs directly from your browser. No App Store, no updates to manage, works offline.
Each demo is a fully seeded group with real member data, leaderboards, and Coach's Insights. Click to experience the real app.
Demo links are generated by the super admin. Each link auto-logs you in as the group coach so you see the full admin view — real data, real insights, real tools.

"My group went from 40% daily logging to 85% in the first week. The leaderboard does the motivation for me."

I came across a habit accountability group running entirely on Google Sheets and Excel — members filling cells manually, admins copying data, pulling weekly reports by hand. It worked, but it was slow, error-prone, and pulled the coach away from actually coaching.
Around the same time I started exploring AI-assisted development with Gemini and Claude. I wanted to know: could someone with domain knowledge but no traditional engineering background build a proper app using AI as the co-pilot? Habit Lab is that answer — initial build with Gemini, completed and refined with Claude, now live and used by real groups.
This is my learning: AI has fundamentally changed what's possible. Domain knowledge + curiosity + the right AI tools = a product that used to need a full dev team.
