Habit Tracker
Track up to ten habits across a 7-day grid — Notion-embeddable, saves automatically.
About this widget
The Olivtwig Habit Tracker widget lets you list up to ten habits and tick them off across a 7-day grid. Each embedded tracker has a unique URL and saves your check-marks to the cloud — no signup, no extension, no install. The grid is small enough to fit comfortably inside a Notion sidebar yet readable at a glance, and the simple visual gives the dopamine hit of seeing a row fill up with checks. Designed for personal habit work where the friction of a full habit-tracking app gets in the way of the actual habit.
Why a 7-day habit grid in Notion
Most habit-tracking apps push notifications, ask for accounts, and want you to migrate your routine into their world. The Habit Tracker widget skips all of that — up to ten rows, seven columns, click to check, done. It lives inside the Notion page where you already plan your week or write your morning journal, so the act of checking off a habit doesn't pull you out of context. For a lot of people, that simplicity is the difference between actually tracking and abandoning the system in a week.
How saving works
Each Habit Tracker embed has a unique URL with a short ID. Checking a box, editing a habit name, or adding a new habit saves immediately against that ID. Open the same URL on your phone, your laptop, or in someone else's Notion workspace and the state is identical. There's no account system — the URL is the key. Keep it private to your own workspace for personal tracking, or share it with a partner for shared habit goals.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Habit Tracker widget free?
Yes. Every Olivtwig widget — including Habit Tracker — is free to use, with no signup or login required.
Are my checks saved?
Yes. Each embedded tracker has a unique URL, and each check-mark saves to the cloud the moment you click. Revisiting the page on any device restores the latest state.
Why only 10 habits?
Ten keeps the grid compact, readable, and unintimidating inside small Notion blocks. Most habit-research suggests tracking 3–5 routines yields better follow-through — but the tracker gives you room to grow up to ten.
Does the 7-day grid roll over to a new week?
The grid represents the current 7-day rolling window — you check today's column, and as the week progresses the columns shift. For longer-term streak tracking, consider pairing with a Counter widget.
Can I share my tracker with someone else?
Yes. Anyone with the embed URL can view and tick boxes on the same tracker — useful for couple habits, family wellness goals, or accountability partnerships.
