Level: Real-World

Project Level: Real-World
This project is designed for learners who know Python fundamentals and are learning to build real-world programs.

Project Description

Build a habit tracker desktop app where users can add, complete, and monitor daily habits (e.g., drinking water, exercising, reading). The app will display the streak (e.g., 2 days) and store data locally in a JSON file.

Expected Output

The program allows the user to add habits (e.g., “Be positive”):

The habit is added to the stack. The user can also press the “Complete” button whenever they complete a habit:

And here is what the JSON data looks like for the above examples. The data are added by the program automatically.

{     "Meditate": {         "streak": 1,         "last_completed": "2025-01-27"     },     "Be positive": {         "streak": 0,         "last_completed": ""     } }
