Atoms is the official companion to James Clear's book Atomic Habits, walking users through identity statements, 'two-minute rule' scaling, and daily audio/text lessons.

Where Atoms focuses on guided lessons and a prescribed methodology, Habstick gives you a self-directed, local-first space with 7 switchable layouts, 10+ color themes, and 65+ languages.
