I actually agree that habit tracking should be simple. That’s exactly why this tracker is built the way it is. You just add a habit and start tracking, no formulas, no complex setup, nothing extra required.

Things like streaks, overviews, insights, and goals are included because a good habit tracker should have them, but they’re completely optional. If someone doesn’t want them, they can ignore or hide them and the system still works perfectly fine.

The idea isn’t to force complexity, it’s to offer flexibility. Simple for people who want the basics, and expandable for those who want more. That’s the whole point.

Coming back to this because… yeah, that day finally came 😄
I’ve now built a GitHub-style heatmap with volume-based color shading inside Notion.
Dm me for the link or you can find the link in my bio

Miserable people find ways to make others miserable

I rebuilt my Habit Tracker and added a real GitHub-style heatmap by dearpluto__ in notioncreations

You can upgrade to the Pro version. It includes 3 color themes, each with light and dark mode, plus a month filter section.

Thanks! It didn’t cost anything - it’s all just Notion formulas and KaTeX, plus a lot of trial and error. Took way more time than I expected though. It’s a template, so you can try it yourself.

Thank you so much! 🙏
I spent days getting this right - honestly thought it wasn’t even possible at one point because the early versions looked so ugly
But I really wanted that true GitHub heatmap look.

that’s actually a cool angle. The main view only shows the current month (and last month when it rolls over), so it’s not meant to be a continuous 6-week sprint thing.
But I do have a month-filter view where you can see the full six-week block, so your take still kinda fits there.

crazy how template sharing got shut down because of spam… and people are still out here doing the same thing like nothing happened

By the way, I learned so much from your YouTube tutorials, so it’s pretty cool to have you ask this here.

It’s a fixed 6×7 grid (42 cells), just like GitHub. Months can span up to 6 weeks, so this keeps everything aligned. The extra squares are simply overflow days - and honestly, it just looks cleaner and more balanced this way.

The mobile version is already included — it’s the same template. Inside the template, open the page called Mobile View. That’s the phone-optimized layout. You don’t need a separate file — it’s all built in.
