What is Habitrax?

Habitrax is a CLI app designed to help you:

• Track your tasks, productivity, and self-discipline
• Reflect daily with randomized deep questions
• Monitor progress using gamified stats and leveling
• Build powerful habits using philosophies from:
  • Deep Work
  • Atomic Habits
  • Slight Edge
  • Think & Grow Rich
  • Shadow Work Journal

You don't just live life — you level through it.

Quickstart

git clone https://github.com/2kDarki/Habitrax.git 
cd Habitrax 
python run.py

or through pip:

pip install habitrax
Habitrax # or python -m hbx

Requires Python 3.10+ installed.

That's it — Habitrax runs out-of-the-box.

Philosophy

Most productivity apps force structure on you.
Habitrax does the opposite — it's a sandbox for your goals, actions, and reflections.

• Every decision is a vote toward your future self
• Every session is data, analyzed and visualized for self-awareness
• You define your purpose, rules, and trajectory

---

Suggested First Contributions

Even if you've never seen the code before, here are 2 tasks anyone can try:

• Improve Debrief Randomization – Add optional filters for categories
• Add a CLI Shortcut

These tasks are small, self-contained, and won't break the core functionality.
