Sahil Ranout

I'm Sahil Ranout, a software engineer from Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, India. I've been building apps since 2019.

I started Habigrow to fix my own problem with motivation and discipline. While building it, I read the research on how habits actually form: cues, rewards, and why some habits feel so hard to break. That research shaped the app: four ways to track a habit, gentle reminders, streaks that forgive a busy day and Home Screen widgets.

On this blog I write about what I've tried myself, what failed and what worked, together with the research behind it. I'm not a doctor or a psychologist, so I link the studies I rely on and keep to what I've actually lived.
