Momentum

Goal: To create a habit tracker app that simplifies goal-setting, engages users with gamification, and provides insightful progress tracking.

Problem Statement

Many habit tracker apps overwhelm users with cluttered interfaces or lack engaging features to keep them motivated. Momentum aims to provide a visually appealing, intuitive solution that encourages users to build habits consistently while celebrating small wins.

Process

1. Research

• Competitive Analysis: Reviewed leading habit-tracking apps (e.g., Habitica, Fabulous, Streaks) to identify pain points like:

  • Overloaded dashboards.

  • Limited habit customization.

  • Lack of motivating features.

• User Insights: Conducted 5 user interviews to discover:

  • Need for quick habit setup.

  • Desire for visual progress indicators.

  • Importance of reminders and rewards for habit adherence.

2. Design Goals

• Simplified Navigation: Ensure users can easily add, track, and complete habits.

• Engaging Visuals: Use gamification and dynamic feedback to celebrate progress.

• Data-Driven Insights: Provide actionable analytics in an intuitive format.

Reflection

This project enhanced my skills in designing engaging user interfaces that balance aesthetics with functionality. I learned the importance of iterative feedback loops and user-centric decisions in crafting intuitive digital experiences.
