A habit tracker in your chat
Updated .
A habit tracker on WhatsApp is a daily check-in that arrives in the chat you already open. You tell Mindie the habit and the time, it messages you each day, and you reply "done". Every day you do, the streak grows by one.
Most habit apps fail the same way: you have to remember to open them, which is the thing you were trying to build a habit of. A message that comes to you removes that step.

How to start a habit on WhatsApp
- Open an account on getmindie.app. Every feature is free for 7 days.
- Pair your number with the six-digit code the site shows.
- Text the habit. "Build a habit of reading at 10pm" or "stretch every day at 7am" is enough.
- Reply done when the check-in arrives.
What a streak counts
| What happens | The streak |
|---|---|
| You reply done on the day | Goes up by one |
| You miss the day | Current streak resets to zero |
| You beat your old record | Best streak updates |
Mindie keeps your best run, so a missed day costs you the current streak, not the record. Ask "how are my habits going?" and you get each habit with its streak.
Making a habit stick
- Pick a time that already has an anchor. After dinner, before bed, with the first coffee.
- Start with one habit. A second one is easier once the first has a streak.
- Keep it small. "Read two pages" survives a bad day. "Read for an hour" doesn't.
- Try nag mode if you keep missing the check-in.
Habits and your other reminders
A habit is a daily reminder with a streak. For one-off tasks, bills and appointments, use recurring reminders and normal reminders. Your weekly recap gives a short look back at the week.
What Mindie doesn't do
- Habits are daily. There's no "three times a week" habit, but a weekly repeating reminder covers that.
- It doesn't share streaks, run challenges or message friends.
- It doesn't track habits automatically. You reply done, Mindie doesn't read your health or fitness apps.
- It isn't a coach or medical advice. It reminds you and counts days.
Privacy
Mindie only sees messages sent to it, never your other chats. Messages are never sold or used to train AI models. Text "clear our chat" to wipe your history. The privacy policy has the rest.
Pricing
Habits are part of the one Mindie plan. Start with a 7-day free trial, then pay $9 a month or $90 a year. The first payment carries a 7-day money-back guarantee, and texting "cancel" stops your plan any time. See pricing.
Questions
How do I start a habit?
Text it, for example "build a habit of reading at 10pm" or "I want to drink water every day at 9". Mindie sets a daily check-in at that time.
How does the streak work?
Each day you reply done to the check-in, the streak goes up by one. A missed day resets the current streak to zero, and your best streak is kept as your record.
Can a habit repeat on certain days only?
Habits are daily. For something weekly or on weekdays, set a normal repeating reminder instead.
Where can I see my streaks?
Ask Mindie in the chat, or open the Habits page in your dashboard, which shows each habit with its current and best streak.
What if I forget to reply?
The day counts as missed. Turn on nudging in your dashboard settings and Mindie keeps asking until you reply done.
Can I track a habit with someone else?
No. Habits are private to your own chat. Mindie doesn't share lists, message other people or post in groups.
