Description
Habitune turns any WordPress site into a personal habit tracker for your logged-in members. Each member gets their own private, full-screen dashboard behind two simple shortcodes — and their data stays in their own WordPress account, on the site they already trust. No third-party account, and no external services: Habitune Lite makes no outbound HTTP requests at all.
What members can do
- Create, complete, edit and delete habits — simple check-off, count-based (e.g. read 20 pages) or time-based (e.g. meditate 30 min).
- Schedule habits every day, on specific weekdays, or X times per week.
- Build streaks and see a responsive activity heatmap (up to 52 weeks on wide screens) with per-day tooltips.
- View analytics — longest streak, best week, a weekly-completion chart and a habit-category breakdown.
- Log a daily mood check-in and review a 14-day mood history in their analytics.
- Manage their profile (name, email, password, avatar) and download their own data as a JSON backup.
- Use the app in their preferred UI language.
What site owners get
- A clean wp-admin “Habitune” dashboard with real, aggregated numbers across all members, and a Subscribers view of each member’s real habits and activity.
- A branded login page (via the
[habitune_login]shortcode) built on WordPress’s own secure login. Sign-in and account creation use WordPress core — members register through the standard WordPress registration when you enable Settings General “Anyone can register”. - Edit any member’s profile and export your whole subscriber list to CSV.
- Editable member-facing wording and week-start day — all from wp-admin.
- Every member’s data is private to them, stored in their own user account. No custom database tables.
Privacy first
Habitune Lite loads its fonts locally (no Google Fonts / external CDN) and contacts no third-party service, so no visitor or member data ever leaves your server. It also registers with WordPress core’s privacy tools, so a member’s habit data can be exported and erased from Tools Export/Erase Personal Data, and it adds suggested text to Settings Privacy.
Habitune Pro
Need more? Habitune Pro is a separate plugin that adds a wellness suite (water and sleep logging, with a sleep panel in the admin), a live weather card and prayer times, a bilingual (English/Bangla) exercise guide, daily notes, daily and weekly email digests, verified-member badges, and deeper analytics. Habitune Lite is fully functional on its own and always free — Pro is optional.
Requirements
- WordPress 5.9 or newer — tested up to WordPress 7.0.
- PHP 7.4 or newer — tested up to PHP 8.5. No deprecated or removed PHP APIs are used, so the plugin runs clean on every release in that range.
- No database tables, no external services, and no PHP extensions beyond what WordPress itself requires (GD or Imagick, already needed by core for image uploads).
Screenshots
Installation
- Install and activate Habitune (Plugins Add New search “Habitune”, or upload the zip).
- Create a page called “Habits” and add the shortcode:
[habitune] - Create a page called “Login” and add the shortcode:
[habitune_login] - Go to Habitune Settings Pages and pick your Login and Dashboard pages.
- Use a full-width, no-sidebar page template for both pages if your theme has one — the app is a full-screen experience by design.
- To let visitors create their own accounts, enable Settings General “Anyone can register” (with the new-user default role set to Subscriber). Members then sign in on your Login page through WordPress’s standard login and registration.
FAQ
-
Does Habitune send any data to third parties?
-
No. Habitune Lite makes no external HTTP requests and bundles its own fonts. All member data is stored in that member’s own WordPress user account on your server.
-
Who can see a member’s habit data?
-
Only that member and site administrators. Data is stored per-user in user meta; there is no shared table.
-
Is it GDPR-friendly?
-
Yes. Habitune registers a personal-data exporter and eraser with WordPress core (Tools Export/Erase Personal Data) and adds suggested privacy-policy text under Settings Privacy. Because it makes no external calls, no personal data is transmitted off-site.
-
Do I need Habitune Pro?
-
No. Lite is a complete habit tracker — including a daily mood check-in. Pro adds optional water & sleep tracking, email digests and more; see habitpress.fit.
-
How do members sign in and register?
-
Sign-in and account creation are handled by WordPress itself. The
[habitune_login]page shows WordPress’s own login form, and — when you enable Settings General “Anyone can register” — a link to WordPress’s standard registration. Habitune adds no login or account-creation code of its own, so your site’s existing security and login-limiting plugins apply as usual. -
What are the profile photo limits?
-
JPG or PNG, up to 200 KB. Uploads are checked against their actual file contents rather than the name or the browser-supplied type, and every accepted image is re-encoded on the server — so anything hidden inside an otherwise valid image file is discarded rather than stored. Photo metadata (including GPS coordinates) is stripped in the same step.
-
What are the password requirements?
-
At least 8 characters with an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, a number and a symbol. Passwords that contain the member’s own name or email address are rejected. The sign-up form shows a live checklist as they type.
-
Can I change the wording members see?
-
Yes — most member-facing text is editable from Habitune Settings Content.
