LittleBit app pushes you to create better habits

LittleBit Demo from Jayden Anderson on Vimeo.

If you are still keen on keeping your New Year’s resolutions or need the motivation to continue with them, LittleBit for iOS is the app you might consider trying out. The app pushes you to work on your goals through a point or “bits” system that awards you for consecutive wins and through taking photos that are meant to commemorate your progress.

The app has a game element to it with the bits system as it rewards continued use and deducts bits when you haven’t made progress with your goals for a few consecutive days. Once you’ve achieved 21 bits, the app will congratulate you for forming a new habit. The $1.99 app will only track one habit at a time to help you stay focused on your goal.
