HabitCal for IPOD Touch

I am just starting the No S again as I think it is a very effective life friendly plan.

I just got a Ipod touch and am wondering if there is any App that is like the HabitCal where you mark the green, red, or yellow on the days? Love that!!

Looking forward to losing with No S.
