Help me choose a name for my app

Hey folks,

I'm working on this habit-tracking app since January 2019, and it's finally ready for release.
Actually, I build this app using a single habit: working 30min on a side project at 9 PM every day.

The whole philosophy of the app is consistency over performance.
Shaping your identity using habits.

It's pretty different from the rest of the market, a very opinionated way of creating meaningful habits and measuring your success.

Originally it was going to be called Excellence, from the famous quote:
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit

The app is made to help you attain excellence.

But lately, another great name crossed my mind: Inertia.
It's great because there is the notion of motion, which is what habits are after all: repeated actions that build up over time (streaks), a force going in the right direction (identities & outcomes)

Both are great, I'm not able to decide which one is better, so I prefer to ask people which sounds better and is more expressive to them.

What do you think?

    How about "Habit Rabbit?" :-P

    I think the functionality of the app can help name it. Are you tracking the "accomplishments" of the habits? Like todos in a way? I love looking for domain names and would be willing to help find a good one with you, if you want

    I've used this site to generate some names whenever I'm stuck. https://namelix.com/

    The ocean would never exist if there were no drops of water.

    A drop of water is a powerful as a thunderbolt.

    Dripping water hollows out stone, not through force but through persistence.

        I'd use something along water drops line

          Or something about dripping. There's an old tale that a guy fills out a whole lake by dripping water into it for years. It's phsycally impossible I know but it's a good analogy.
