TOP 12 BEST HABIT TRACKER APPS

First up we have the Habitify app. Habitify is one of the most well-known tracking apps on the list. So apparently because it goes a bit further than most other traditional tracking apps. Habitify does the Habit tracking as well as you’d expect it to. But my favorite part of the Habitify app is that it offers different types of live challenges that you can join with dozens of other people so for example there’s a peaceful May meditation challenge where you join more than 150 other people and essentially do 10 minutes of meditation
every day for the month.

You can also host your own challenges and invite your friends to join. If you’re struggling to follow through with your daily habits having some kind of accountability group in the form of a few friends where you’re all doing the daily challenges together can be a really powerful strategy to keep you motivated. And as a nice feature as well. The Habitify app tracks your mood on a smiley face scale as default when logging your habits to determine whether it’s your mood that could be affecting the completion of any habits.

Their widget is well designed too my only gripe though is that the free version only allows you to add three habits so the widget looks a bit kind of strange with just three habits from an aesthetic standpoint the widget would look far better if it could actually add four habits rather than three. So there’s not a big empty space at the bottom right corner.

Next up we have the Awesome Habits app. So the Awesome Habits app has my favorite designed user interface. It’s super simple it doesn’t have any kind of extra features that give it the edge over other trackers. But it does one thing and it does that one thing really really well. It tracks your habits in a super well-designed user interface.

It also gives you graphs so you can see on one screen how well you’re doing and it has a widget. Now this would be my favorite app on the whole list if the widget was a bit better designed I just think it’s slightly on the uninspiring side which is a shame because the actual app itself aesthetically does look really nice. But despite that though awesome hobbies are definitely in my top three habit-tracking apps from the dozens that I’ve tested over the years.

Next up we have the Habitica app. Habitica is exactly why I wrote this article. To find the Habit trackers they’re a little bit different and stand out from the thousands of Habit trackers out there. So Habitica app gamifies the habit process where you create an avatar and unlock features in the game by checking off your real-life tasks. You can earn armor you can earn pets and other in-game rewards when you meet your goals.

So this habit tracker app stands out for so many reasons. So firstly it genuinely feels like you’re playing a game with health with experience points and you can level up as well. But secondly, it’s an independent app right so you can tell that it’s made by a team of passionate volunteers and contributors you just don’t get something made by a company that wants to sell a productivity App instead you get a tool made by people who themselves wants a way to stay accountable and better their lives.

I have a habit that says to listen to two hours of podcasts I hit the plus sign on the left when I do 2 and the minus sign on the right when I don’t and this adds or subtracts points to reinforce The Habit. It’s definitely worth trying if you’re looking for a habit tracker that doesn’t actually feel like a habit tracker. But feels more like a game but a game that actually helps you to be more productive.

Next up we have the Strides app. The strides app tracker allows you to set smart goals and work at your own pace. So it offers four different ways to track your habits whether they’re time-bound goals smaller Milestones or set averages. The Strides app also offers customized progress reports and charts and what I really like is their widget also. Right it’s well designed easy to use very helpful and this is a kind of continuous theme throughout this article I don’t think I would use a habit tracker.

If it didn’t have an easily accessible widget what I don’t love though is that the app user interface it’s just kind of seems a bit outdated compared with some of the other habit trackers and using the free version only allows you to add three habits. If you want to add more then their paid plan is five dollars a month or thirty dollars a year.

Next up we have the Everyday app. So this is an amazing app one of my favorites on the list. It easily keeps you accountable and tracks your habits with a simple checked board the more you do the better the board looks right. So the user interface is very simple and easy to understand as soon as you start using it you essentially just color the boxes in once you’ve completed that habit and there’s a widget that shows the last seven days. So you can see immediately if you’ve missed any days and that’s a great motivator to actually complete your habits.

Because for me at least I hate to keep being reminded that I miss the habit every time I look at the widget. The Everyday app has the same features as most other habit trackers like setting reminders so you don’t forget or at least you’re less likely to forget to complete that habit before the end of the day. But it’s the Simplicity of the app and the widget that really makes the Everyday app stand out. A widget for me at least exponentially increases the usability of a Habit Tracker app because if a bright-colored widget is staring at you on your home screen you’re not going to forget about it right definitely worth trying out.
