How one marathon goal accidentally turned into a habit-building tool for thousands

Hey, I’m Nathan. I built the Matrix Habit Tracker while training for the Sydney Marathon because I wanted a simple, physical way to track my habits without using my phone. I taught myself to code, design circuit boards, solder components, and 3D-print cases until I had a tool that finally worked for me.

I also realised it helped me stay focused while managing ADHD, and that it could help others too. What started as a personal project has grown into a distraction-free way for people to build habits that actually stick.

About the Matrix Habit Tracker

A product that needed to exist, so I built it by hand

The Matrix Habit Tracker exists because nothing else like it was available. Everything I tried was an app, a subscription, or a system that lived on my phone. These tools often made things more complicated or distracting.

I wanted the opposite: a physical device that makes habit tracking visual, effortless, and enjoyable.

Every Matrix Habit Tracker is designed and hand assembled by me in Australia. I source the components, program the boards, assemble each unit, test them carefully, and pack them myself. It is not mass produced. It is made with care, precision, and a lot of trial and error.

The result is something different. A minimal, tactile habit-building tool that keeps you consistent without relying on motivation or willpower alone.

Our Future

Helping you build better habits for life

The mission is simple: help people build healthy habits and break the habits that are holding them back in the simplest and most effective way possible.

The Matrix Habit Tracker is only the beginning. As the community grows, so will the tools. I am working on ways to make the tracker even more powerful, including:

  • A companion mobile app for tracking on the go
  • More habit modes and improvements based on community feedback
  • Continued upgrades to the physical design and usability

My goal is to make the Matrix Habit Tracker your main tool for creating long-lasting, meaningful habits, whether you are starting small or building something life-changing.
