수요 읽기
두 모델이 독립적으로 평가 (측정 아님, 애널리스트 의견)
Opus와 Codex 두 AI의 읽기입니다. 측정된 수요가 아니라 판단이에요. 둘이 갈리면 그만큼 불확실하다는 뜻입니다.

리뷰가 말하는 불만
경쟁앱 리뷰 90개에서 추출
- “Share a habit with others is not working! Receiving error - unable to modify records.”
- “Widget stopped working suddenly can't set mode or habit via widget”
- “This update broke updating the mood. Please fix.”
- “today I haven't been able to access it at all. I can only access past days on the calendar layout.”
Ruthless QA on sync/sharing and widget paths, and never ship an update that breaks existing user data. Incumbents ship broken releases and lose paying users over it.
- “the only thing I don't like about it is it needs money. I wish I could put more habits on it without have to get plus :(”
- “you have to pay to put in unlimited habits”
- “Free habit limit - 6”
Free unlimited habits with paywall on extras (themes, stats, sharing). Users explicitly praise apps that don't gate the core: 'No Hidden Fee's'.
- “I bought the premium version year ago and when they updated I lost everything. I even backed up to the cloud but they would not restore my purchase so I lost years of data.”
- “my account wasn't linked to my email or phone # since non of that is mandatory at creation”
Reliable local backup/restore plus optional account binding. Trust around streak and history data is a real differentiator for long-term retention.
- “editing them once they're created is frustrating and not very straight forward”
- “I find it confusing and overwhelming with too much on each steps”
Dead-simple habit editing and a light onboarding. Several competitors over-feature their first-run experience.
- “it drained my battery like crazy and made my phone run really hot”
- “it used 13% of battery”
Keep the app lightweight, on-device, no heavy gamification loops. Market it: 'won't kill your battery'.
- “I don't want ads for a movie in my self care app.”
- “Monthly themes have also become ad-based”
- “I don't want my subscription money indirectly going to AI-generated advertising”
Clean, ad-free, no sponsored content. A small but loud segment churns over commercial tone in wellness apps.
- “Can you add a timer, like if I wanted to read for 10 min. Also can you add a counter for like reading 5 pages”
- “I wish I could have it snooze for 15 min so I can be reminded again”
- “Huge game-changer with the addition of the Shortcut actions”
- “The watch app could use the ability to start the timer as well”
Quantity-type habits, per-habit timers, snoozable reminders, and solid Shortcuts/Apple Watch/widget support. One reviewer details an exact Shortcuts workflow power users want.
1인이 만들 수 있나
개발 난이도와 리스크를 분해
Buildable solo in 3+ months with SwiftData + CloudKit + WidgetKit + App Intents, all on-device. The tech is not the hard part. Getting seen against free giants with 4.7-4.95 ratings is. Only worth building if you pick a narrow underserved wedge (power users, ADHD-friendly minimalism, or Shortcuts-first automation) instead of a general habit tracker.
만든다면, 이렇게
1페이지 기획서 (출발점, 정답 아님)
A fast, local-first routine tracker for people who hate bloated habit apps: unlimited habits free, timers and counters built in, deep iOS integration.
iOS power users, ADHD adults, and people burned by Finch-style gamification who want a quiet, reliable daily checklist.
Existing trackers gate basic things behind subscriptions, break core features in updates, drain battery, and bury simple habit tracking under pets, themes, and ads.
- ·Pet/mascot gamification
- ·Sponsored themes or third-party ads
- ·Freemium habit limits
- ·Cloud account requirement
A checklist app with widgets, counters, timers, reminders, and CSV export. No accounts, no server, iCloud sync optional later.
Free core forever. One-time 'Pro' unlock for premium stats, custom themes, and sharing. No subscription, that's part of the pitch.
솔직한 경고
이 기회의 가장 큰 함정
Users here are angry about $100/yr subscriptions but expect the polish of 100k-review apps like Finch.
