(All of the below have great free versions)
Pomodoro: Forces me to focus for 25 minutes and then take a 5 minute break. It lets me put off goofing off because it's only 25 minutes away. And on the other hand, it forces me to take breaks so I don't get as bleary-eyed and makes me take walks/move my body.
I currently use Toggl (desktop version) as a pomodoro and a way to keep track of what I do day to day.
Todoist (with GTD priniciples): Google this to figure out how to do it. But it's very powerful with its tags, categories, etc.
Evernote (with Agile principles): I check my Evernote at the end of the day, week, month, etc. to make sure that I've hit my goals and if not, why I didn't. I link my Todoist Completed Goals (webapp link) and Toggle reports (webapp link) to get an overview of what I've accomplished/spent my time doing that day.
StayFocusd (chrome extension): Only thing I have on there is reddit. 30 minutes max a day.
Day by Day (android app) with non zero day principles: It's a beautiful UI for "Don't break the chain" concepts. It helps a lot to build habits by visually reminding me what I have to do each day, and it feels so good to check it off when I do it! If I don't really feel like doing something one day, I just do 1 minute/1 rep of it.
Shameless self bump, but I've created an android app specifically for this: DayByDay, based on the "Don't break the chain" philosophy.

Not sure if it's available for iPhone but I use this on Android.
Hai Redditors,
I am a big fan of the don't break the chain method for building habits and the chains.cc web app, however I struggled to find a good-looking and nice to use app on android, so I went back to the coding board.
The result is <strong>Day by Day</strong>, a habit forming app which is highly customizable in looks and color and comes armed with a full material design interface. It's very intuitive to use, enter a (or more) habit and start your streak!
The app is free with a small in-app purchase to unlock a few aestethic options and the possibility of logging more than 2 habits. Feedback is welcome. Happy streaking!

What you're describing is called "Don't break the chain" or Seinfeld's method.
