In their own words
Avocation
Avocation is a habit-tracking app for planning daily routines and setting goals. It includes lessons on habit change, including ways to build helpful habits and break unwanted ones. Users can choose goals ranging from learning a language to saving for retirement, with habit templates and reminders available. Completing a habit grows a plant, and missing a day does not trigger a streak penalty. The app is available on Android and iOS; the iOS listing says it requires iOS 12.0 or later. The free version is available without charge or registration, though feature limits may apply. The Ireland App Store listing sets the free allowance at up to three habits. Registration is generally not required. The privacy policy says the app uses no cookies and requires no device permissions. It uses Firebase for app usage analysis, performance monitoring, and error logs, with data described as anonymized. Habit recommendations are informational, not medical care.
