More Than Just Habit Trackers
SingularityApp
Platforms: iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, Linux, Web, watchOS, Wear OS.
Free version: Yes. 3 habits available for free.
Premium pricing: Pro — $3.33/month or $39.99/year. Elite — $4.17/month or $49.99/year.
SingularityApp is a powerful task planner with a clean, built-in habit tracker that doesn’t overwhelm you with unnecessary bells and whistles. To create a habit, just enter a name and pick a color. To mark it as done, just tap the circle next to the date. One tap — habit complete, circle filled in. Double-tap — mark it as half-done or skipped, and the circle turns into an outline while your streak stays intact. You get overall stats across all habits plus individual breakdowns, and you can even log habits retroactively.
On mobile, there’s a handy home screen widget that displays a single habit and lets you check it off without opening the app. It’s a great way to stay on track and keep your motivation up throughout the day.
The app works offline across all platforms — including the Web version. When you’re back online, everything syncs automatically, so you never lose your data.
TickTick
Platforms: iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, Web.
Free version: Yes, 5 habits available.
Premium pricing: ~$3/month or $35.99/year.
TickTick combines a habit tracker with a solid task planner. You can log habits retroactively, view basic stats for each habit, and customize frequency, notifications, color, and icon in the settings. There’s even a spot to add a motivational quote and set a goal for extra accountability.
Brite
Platforms: iOS, macOS, Web.
Free version: Yes, 3 habits available.
Premium pricing: $3.29/month or $39.50/year.
Beyond habit tracking, Brite includes a task planner, notes, and a personal journal. The habit settings are a dream for visual thinkers: on top of recurrence and notifications, you get color backgrounds, icons, priority flags, and even a built-in Pomodoro timer (Pro plan only). Stats live inside each habit, and you can log progress retroactively.
Advanced Habit Trackers
Productive
Platforms: iOS, Android.
Free version: Yes, 5 habits available.
Premium pricing: From $10/month or $120/year.
This habit tracker is available on both iOS and Android. It asks you to fill out a short survey on first launch, then suggests your first habit from a preset list. To add your own custom habits, you’ll need to either upgrade to a paid plan or pick a preset and rename it — which can be a bit inconvenient.
For each habit, you can set duration, repeats (multiple times per day), time- and location-based reminders, plus color and icon. There’s a built-in timer you can start when you begin a habit — though honestly, that feature feels more suited for tasks than for building habits.
Beyond the tracker, Productive offers community challenges, a journal with helpful articles, and detailed statistics — though viewing stats requires the Pro plan.
Habit
Platforms: iOS.
Free version: Yes, 3 habits available.
Premium pricing: $11.61/year (sale price) or $23.12/year (regular).
One of the best habit tracker apps for iPhone — bright, minimalist, and intuitive. The free version gives you 3 habits, and the app automatically assigns each one a color. In settings, you can customize recurrence and reminders. There are detailed stats and the option to log habit progress for past dates.
Habit Tracker (Tick it)
Platforms: iOS, Android.
Free version: Yes, unlimited habits.
Premium pricing: $9.67/month or $23.89/year.
A popular habit tracker, especially among Android users, that also positions itself as a goal-setting app. It tracks your habit completion stats and even lets you give a habit a “day off” (so your stats won’t count it as a miss).
When creating a habit, you can categorize it right away: bad, regular, or one-time (wait, is that even a habit?!). Available settings include an icon, a color, habit days, time of day, and an end date if needed. You can also set a goal — either by duration or number of reps.
Loop
Platforms: Android.
Free version: Yes, unlimited habits.
Premium pricing: None — completely free.
A totally free habit tracker for Android that lets you track as many habits as you want. In the settings, you can define a goal (with custom units of measurement), pick a color, add a motivational prompt, set repeat frequency, and turn on reminders. The stats are incredibly detailed. The design, though? A little dated.
Dead-Simple Habit Trackers
Everyday
Platforms: iOS, Android.
Free version: Yes, 3 habits available.
Premium pricing: From $2.50/month or $29.99/year. Lifetime — $99.
A simple, straightforward habit tracker app: done — tap the square, skipped — tap it again and it turns into a triangle. Your streak stays intact either way, so you don’t have to beat yourself up too much over a missed day. Stats are displayed as a massive grid (think Minesweeper vibes) where each successful day gets filled in. The more filled squares in a row without gaps, the brighter your streak looks.
Sessions
Platforms: iOS.
Free version: Yes, 3 habits available.
Premium pricing: $1.28 for unlimited pledges.
This iOS-only habit tracker works a bit like a Pomodoro timer and is perfect for anyone who tends to cut corners and wants to stop. Because with Sessions, there’s no way to mark it complete without finishing the timer.
To create a habit, you set an action, its duration, and how often it repeats. When you tap a habit, a timer starts automatically — and the habit won’t count as done until the timer finishes. There are no stats, so every day you simply start fresh.
Move on
Platforms: iOS.
Free version: Yes, unlimited habits.
Premium pricing: $1.28/month or $12.26/year (adds sync, detailed stats, and extra themes).
This app blends habit tracking with a Pomodoro timer. On setup, it asks you to plan tasks and set custom intervals: how many work cycles, how long each lasts, and what your short and long breaks look like. It’s great if you already use the Pomodoro technique, but it may feel like overkill if you just want to check off a quick one-minute habit.
To track a habit, you start a timer for that specific task — just like Sessions, the habit won’t register until the timer is up. This is great for staying focused. What’s not so great: the app orders your tasks by duration — shortest first, longest last. There’s no way to change this.
Which One Should You Pick?
It depends on your device’s operating system and what you actually need the app to do. Here’s a quick cheat sheet:
Want an all-in-one planner + habit tracker? Go with SingularityApp, TickTick, or Brite. These apps combine task management with habit tracking, so you can keep your entire workflow in one place.
Want deep customization and granular control? Try Productive, Habit, Tick it, or Loop. They let you fine-tune everything from repeat schedules and Pomodoro timers to habit categories and detailed stats.
Just want something dead simple to check habits off? Look at Everyday, Sessions, or Move on. Minimal setup, minimal fuss — just tap and go.
Looking for a budget-friendly option? Loop is completely free with unlimited habits (Android only). Sessions and Move on have very affordable premium upgrades under $2/month.
Using an iPhone only? You’ve got the most options — every app on this list except Loop supports iOS.
Using Android only? Check out SingularityApp, TickTick, Productive, Tick it, Loop, or Everyday.
The best habit tracker is the one you’ll actually use — so pick the one that fits your workflow, try the free version, and see which one works best for you.
