Habi

Product Introduction

1. Definition: Habi is a cross-platform productivity application (iOS/Android/web) in the habit-tracking and personal planning software category. It uniquely integrates calendar synchronization, project management, and behavioral psychology principles to transform routines into sustainable habits.
2. Core Value Proposition: Habi eliminates app fragmentation by unifying habit tracking, calendar management, Pomodoro focus sessions, and collaborative workflows into one ecosystem. Its core innovation—linking habits directly to calendar events—ensures routines align with real-life schedules, boosting adherence through contextual reminders.

Main Features

1. Calendar-Habit Syncing:

   • How it works: Habi connects to Google/Apple Calendar APIs to convert scheduled events (e.g., "Gym at 7 PM") into trackable habits. Users attach dynamic checklists (e.g., "Bring basketball shoes") that trigger notifications pre-event.
   • Technology: Real-time bi-directional sync via OAuth 2.0, with geofencing options for location-based reminders.

2. Project Space:

   • How it works: Provides minimalist digital "containers" for ideas/tasks without rigid templates. Supports incremental planning via markdown notes, nested subtasks, and deadline alerts.
   • Technology: Cloud-synced NoSQL database (Firebase) enabling offline access and cross-device updates.

3. Focus Timer:

   • How it works: Customizable Pomodoro sessions (25/50/90-min blocks) paired with ambient soundscapes (rain, white noise). Tracks deep work periods and syncs data to habit streaks.
   • Technology: Web Audio API for sound processing, with session analytics stored locally for privacy.

4. Collaboration Hub:

   • How it works: Share habits/projects via email link. Assign tasks, send "nudges," and view shared streaks without exposing personal data.
   • Technology: End-to-end encrypted peer-to-peer messaging; RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) for permissions.

5. Screen Time Blocker:

   • How it works: Blocks distracting apps during Focus Timer sessions or habit windows using device-level controls (iOS Screen Time/Android Digital Wellbeing APIs).

Problems Solved

1. Pain Point: Fragmented productivity tools causing missed habits and calendar overload.
   • Keywords: app fatigue, habit inconsistency, calendar clutter.
2. Target Audience:
   • Neurodiverse professionals (ADHD-friendly workflows)
   • Remote teams/families needing shared routines
   • Students balancing study schedules and self-care
3. Use Cases:
   • Automating gym prep: Attach "fill water bottle" checklist to calendar gym events.
   • Family coordination: Voice reminders for shared chores via collaboration hub.
   • ADHD focus: Pomodoro timer + app blocker during study sessions.

Unique Advantages

1. Differentiation: Competitors (e.g., Streaks, Habitica) lack native calendar integration. Habi’s event-to-habit engine creates contextual triggers absent in generic reminder apps.
2. Key Innovation: Proprietary "Habit Anchoring" algorithm that analyzes calendar patterns to suggest optimal habit times based on historical success rates.
