Native screens, native feel
expo-router navigation, native components and real gestures — a today list you tap through, a per-habit detail with a calendar heatmap, and a settings screen. Not a web page in a shell.
Use case — native mobile app
Build a habit tracker that runs on your phone, natively
Every habit tracker on the store is somebody else’s theory of habits — their streak rules, their categories, their idea of what counts. The one you would actually use is small: a list of habits, a tap to mark today, a streak, and a reminder at the right hour. Vibely builds that as a genuinely native React Native and Expo app, with local storage so it works offline and expo-notifications for the reminder — and you run it on your own phone through Expo Go while it is being built.
- Real React Native and Expo — native navigation and native components, not a web view
- Scan a QR code and run it on your own phone through Expo Go while you build
- Offline by default — check-ins persist on the device
- Local push reminders through expo-notifications
- Cloud builds through EAS reach TestFlight and Play internal testing
- React and TypeScript you own, synced to GitHub whenever you want it
Start with this prompt
Paste it in and edit the details to match your own. Being specific about the screens and the data is what separates a working app from a mockup.
Build a habit tracker as a native mobile app. Today screen: every habit as a row with its name, its current streak and a big tap target to mark it done for today. Done habits move to the bottom and dim. Habit detail: a calendar heatmap of the last three months, the current and longest streak, and edit and archive. Add a habit with a name, an emoji, and a target of daily or a number of times a week. Settings: a daily reminder time that schedules a local notification. Store habits and check-ins on the device so it works offline. Seed three habits with a couple of weeks of history so the heatmap has something in it.
What to build next
- Add a weekly review screen: completion rate per habit for the last four weeks.
- Connect Supabase so my habits sync across my phone and my iPad.
- Add a widget-style summary on the today screen for the current week.
Native mobile app
What the build actually consists of
For anyone who has abandoned three habit apps over one missing rule, and for a first native app that is small enough to finish and personal enough to keep opening. It is also the cleanest way to see what native output actually means before you build something bigger.
02
Data that survives a restart
Habits and check-ins persist to AsyncStorage on the device, so the app works on a plane and loses nothing when it closes. Add Supabase later if you want it to sync across devices.
03
Reminders that actually fire
expo-notifications schedules a local reminder at the hour you choose — the mechanism the store apps use, wired into your app rather than described in a roadmap.
What you get
- A today screen with every habit and a one-tap check-in
- Streak counts, and a calendar heatmap per habit
- Add, rename, reorder and archive habits
- A daily reminder at a time you pick, as a real notification
- An app you can run on your own phone the same session

Questions, answered.
Is this a real app or a website with an icon?+
A real one. Vibely generates React Native and Expo projects — native navigation, native components, and native modules like notifications, camera and location where the app needs them. That is the differentiator worth checking on any builder you compare us against, because most of them cannot produce a native app at all.
Can I get it on the App Store?+
Vibely runs the cloud builds through EAS and can push to TestFlight and Play internal testing. The final production submission you make yourself from App Store Connect or Play Console, on your own developer accounts — Apple’s costs $99 a year and Google’s $25 once, both paid to them.
Can I try it on my phone before any of that?+
Yes, and you should. Your workspace shows a QR code; scan it with Expo Go and the app runs on your phone while you are still changing it.
Does it work without an internet connection?+
Yes for the version above — check-ins are written to device storage, so the app is fully usable offline. Syncing across devices needs an account and a database, which is where Supabase comes in as a later step rather than a first one.
