Habit Tracker App — A Self-Initiated Mobile UX Case Study

My first case study. No client, no brief, no shortcuts.

The Habit Tracker App was where I learned to think about design properly. No client. No brief. No existing product to borrow decisions from. Just a problem worth exploring: why do people start habit tracking apps and abandon them within two weeks, and a commitment to work through it without shortcuts. I started with research because I decided from the beginning that I would not design anything I couldn't justify from the user's perspective. Understanding how people actually think about habits, where motivation comes from, what breaks it, and what role a tracking app realistically plays, shaped every decision that followed. The design covers the full experience: • Onboarding that earns trust without demanding too much upfront • Habit creation designed to make commitment feel achievable, not overwhelming • Daily tracking built around positive reinforcement rather than guilt • Streak and progress mechanics that motivate without becoming the point • Analytics that give users genuine insight into their own patterns Every screen was built in Figma to high fidelity because high fidelity forces real decisions. Low fidelity lets you defer them. The full case study, including research, process, decisions, and all screens, is on Behance.

Where the thinking started. Visible in everything since.

This case study is in this portfolio because it is where the foundation was built. The discipline of researching before designing, justifying decisions from the user's perspective rather than aesthetic preference, and treating information architecture as the backbone of experience rather than an afterthought. Those habits show up in everything I have built since: • Popcom mobile app: full product UI in Figma, completed on deadline, approved by the founder • Popcom website: two complete redesign cycles, 12+ concepts before the right direction was locked • The Shaadi Circuit: brand identity built from nothing, website designed and deployed end to end A first case study belongs in a portfolio not because it is the best work, but because it shows where the foundation came from. The distance between this project and everything else here is not something I describe. It is something you can see.
