Choose a focus.
Rest, movement, study, creativity, care, recovery, or anything you want to practice returning to.
No streaks to break
The anti-streak habit app.
Drop a pebble for every tiny return. Missing a day does not erase anything. The jar only grows.
- Your progress stays visible.
- You decide what counts.
- Built for iOS and Home Screen widgets.

Why it exists
Most habit apps make one missed day feel like failure.
Pebble Jar keeps the evidence. Every pebble stays in the jar, so progress is something you can return to instead of something you can break.
How it works
Three small moves. One visible record.
Decide what counts.
Make the pebble small enough to use on a hard day. Ten minutes can count. One page can count.
Drop a pebble.
In the app or from the widget, each return becomes something you can see.
Why it feels different
A habit tracker for people who keep starting over.
No streaks to break.
Missing a day does not empty the jar or turn progress red.
Tiny wins count.
You set the standard for a pebble, so the smallest useful return can still matter.
Widget logging.
The Home Screen widget keeps the next return close and low friction.
Pete does not judge.
Pete helps you reflect when coaching is available, and the core app works without AI.
The old way vs the jar way
A streak says "don't break this." A pebble says "you returned."
Streak loop
One missed day can feel like starting over. The app remembers the gap first.
Pebble Jar loop
Every return leaves evidence. The app remembers that you showed up before.
Who it is for
For gentle progress, not productivity pressure.
Good for rest jars, movement jars, creative practice, study support, care routines, focus experiments, and private little comebacks.
Not a medical app, therapy app, social network, leaderboard, or streak tracker with softer colors.
Privacy and trust
Private by default. Useful without AI.
Pebble Jar is a private support tool, not a public challenge. Pete can use on-device coaching when available, but the core practice works without AI.
