Hi, I’m Chris.
I’m Chris Pruett, the founder of HABIT. It started as my AP Research project: I wanted to research how to build an app to help teens break unwanted habits.
I studied habit cues, if-then planning, self-monitoring, and timely support, then translated that research into app features. As I kept building, the scope of the app grew. Instead of Helping Adolescents Break Irresistible Tendencies, it became Helping Anyone Break Irresistible Tendencies.
I want HABIT to help people who feel stuck recognize their habits and choose their next step. The research helped me decide what to build, but it doesn’t prove that the app works. I still have a lot more to learn through further research and testing.

Still building.
Keep it useful.
I want the everyday tools to feel straightforward, even when the day isn’t. That means keeping habit records local, making privacy choices clear, and leaving room to return after a slip.
Explain the choices.
You shouldn’t have to guess what happens to your information. If you choose an online feature, I want its boundaries to be clear before anything leaves your device.

I’m building HABIT, from the research and code to the product decisions and support. Some parts are finished, and others still need testing. I want to be open about that, and if you need help, you can reach me through support.
