How it works
Not a strict app that takes your screen time away. A little buddy who lives along with you.
Live your day
Scroll less, walk enough, sleep on time. Your crab visibly perks up, or slumps.
Your friends can see it
See how their crabs are doing, and send a seaweed snack when someone has a bad day.
Your crab feels what you do
Seven moods, from glowing to completely slumped. How it feels is up to you.
Glowing
Happy

Goals based on research, not guesswork
The default goals in HabitCrab are based on research and guidelines. You can always adjust them.
30 min of social media a day as the end goal

AASM and Sleep Research SocietyFrequently asked questions
When will HabitCrab be released?
We're testing the app with a small group right now. People on the waitlist get the first invites to the beta.
What can my friends see?
Only your crab: how healthy it is, its mood and which goals you reached today. Never your screen time per app, your steps or your sleep data.
Does it work on Android?
We're starting with iPhone. Android is on the roadmap; join the waitlist and we'll let you know.
How much does HabitCrab cost?
We'll announce pricing at launch. People on the waitlist hear it first.
Is HabitCrab a medical app?
No. HabitCrab helps you build habits and uses goals from research and guidelines, but does not give medical advice.
