Last updated October 2026 · I checked Habitify’s App Store listing, habitify.me and its changelogs in October 2026. I haven’t used Habitify day to day. I build Habit Pocket, so read the verdicts with that in mind; where Habitify is stronger, this page says so. · By Bohdan Stefaniuk

Honest take
Habit Pocket or Habitify?
No tool is for everyone. Here is the straight answer, including when the other one is the better choice.
Pick Habit Pocket if
you track numbers, times of day and moods rather than checkmarks, want them in one grid and on charts you build, and can wait for reminders.
Pick Habitify if
you want reminders, an Android or Apple Watch app, data that flows in from Apple Health, Fitbit or Strava, or an app that looks for correlations for you (Habitify Pro).

Pricing
Habitify pricing vs Habit Pocket pricing (2026)
Habit Pocket
Free, $3.99/mo, $29.99/yr, or $49.99 once (Lifetime)
Free tier: Up to 5 habits with yes/no and numeric types, a stats page for every habit, 60 days of stats, multi-device sync and CSV/JSON export. No credit card.
Monthly and yearly both start with 7 days free; cancel anytime before. Pro adds time-of-day and select habits, goals, every chart type and MCP.
Habitify
Free; Plus $29.99/yr; Pro $8.99/mo, $49.99/yr or $119.99 lifetime
Free tier: A small number of active habits; extra habits are view-only.
Plus: unlimited habits and smart reminders. Pro adds integrations, timers and correlation insights, with a 7-day trial on Pro yearly. Family is $89.99/yr. US App Store, October 2026.
Habit Pocket Pro is $29.99/year and includes numeric goals, time-of-day and select habits plus every chart. Habitify’s correlation insights are in Pro, $49.99/year; Habitify Plus is $29.99/year without them (US App Store, October 2026).

The honest lists
What Habitify does better — and what we do better.
Written so a happy Habitify user would read this page and call it fair.
Where Habitify genuinely shines
- Runs nearly everywhere: iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Vision, Android, Wear OS, Windows and the web.
- Reminders work today, and Plus adds smart reminders.
- Many integrations: Apple Health (two-way), Google Fit, Fitbit, Strava, Screen Time, RescueTime, Zapier, IFTTT and an API.
- An MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT, Siri support, and Habi AI, which analyses your progress and correlations.
- Pro adds habit correlations, detailed reports and timers. Challenges with friends arrived in December 2025.
Habitify's limitations
- The free plan keeps only a small number of habits active. Since April 2026, extra habits are view-only.
- Correlation insights, Apple Health and the other automated integrations are Pro-only, not in Plus.
- Time of day puts a habit in a block of the day. The listing shows no type that stores a clock time.
- A 2025 update took streaks and progress off the widget.
Habit Pocket's limitations vs Habitify
- No reminders yet. Push reminders are coming soon; until then, use a calendar event.
- No Android app yet (it’s planned). The web app works in a mobile browser.
- No Apple Watch app.
- One integration, Apple Health on iPhone (read-only, Pro), against Habitify’s many.
Can Habitify track times of day and custom lists?
Not as logged values, going by Habitify’s own listing. In Habitify, a time of day schedules a habit into a block of the day. In Habit Pocket, the time of day is the data: a 23:40 bedtime is stored as 23:40. A month of bedtimes becomes a line, and a bedtime and a wake-up become one bar on the candle chart.
Custom lists work the same way. A select habit in Habit Pocket is a list you define, like mood (low, okay, good), energy or workout type, and each choice gets its own color. Habitify’s listing shows numbers with units and goals, and Habitify keeps a mood log, but there’s no listed type for a choice from your own list.
All four Habit Pocket types (yes/no, number, time of day, select) sit in one grid. Number and time cells can take a color from bands you set, so 5 hours of sleep reads red and 8 reads green. Time-of-day and select habits are Pro.
Which shows how habits affect sleep, mood and energy?
Both can help, in different ways. Habitify Pro computes correlation insights and Habi AI analyses them. Habit Pocket lets you overlay any habits on one chart and ask your own AI assistant.
Habitify does it automatically. Its Pro plan lists “Advanced Insights: completion trends, detailed reports and habit correlations”, and Habi AI (September 2026) looks for patterns for you. That’s a real advantage if you want links you didn’t think to look for.
Habit Pocket is manual and doesn’t compute correlations. Because bedtime is stored as a clock time and mood as a choice, you can put bedtime against next-day energy on one timeline, or ask Claude “do I sleep later on days I skip the gym?” (Pro). Either way, an overlay or a correlation shows two things moving together, not that one causes the other.

Do both work with Claude and ChatGPT?
Yes. Habitify and Habit Pocket both have an MCP server, so you can connect Claude or ChatGPT to your habit data in either app.
Habitify launched its MCP server on March 3, 2026. It lets an assistant log habits, update a habit’s status and view your progress. Habitify also works with Siri, and Habi AI runs inside the app.
Habit Pocket’s MCP server is a Pro feature and works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any other MCP client. An assistant can log and clear entries, read stats that match the app, create and edit habits and build charts, so it can backfill a messy week or write a weekly review from your numbers. Habit Pocket has no AI of its own and never sends your data to an AI company. You pick the assistant and can revoke it.
Which is better on phones and watches?
Habitify is. It has apps for iPhone, Apple Watch, Android, Wear OS, Mac, Windows and the web, plus reminders and widgets. Habit Pocket runs on iPhone, iPad and the web. It has no Android or Watch app, and no widgets or reminders yet.
Widgets are Habitify’s known sore point. A 2025 update took streaks and progress off the widget, and a multi-habit check-in widget is an open feature request.
Habit Pocket’s iPhone app is offline-first: it logs without a connection and syncs later. The web app has the same grid and charts. Push reminders are coming soon, and an Android app and widgets are planned.
Switching
How to move from Habitify to Habit Pocket.
- 1
Export your history from Habitify: Settings → Import / Export → Export as .csv. Habitify’s help center describes it as a log of your check-ins (habit, date, total log, unit, status). There’s no direct Habitify-to-Habit-Pocket import, and I haven’t tested a Habitify export file.
- 2
In a spreadsheet, pivot the file to one row per date and one column per habit. That’s the format Habit Pocket imports.
- 3
Import it in the Habit Pocket web app (free on every plan) and map each column to a habit. A preview shows every value first. More than 5 habits need Pro.
- 4
Add what Habitify didn’t store as values: bedtime and wake-up as time-of-day habits, mood or energy as select habits.
- 5
Until push reminders ship, add a calendar event for the habits that need a nudge.
Verdict
So: Habitify or Habit Pocket?
Pick Habitify if you want one habit app on every device you own, reminders that already work, an Apple Watch app, data that flows in from Apple Health, Fitbit or Strava, and correlations found for you in Pro. If you have an Android phone or a Watch, or your routine depends on being nudged, Habitify is the better product. Pick Habit Pocket if what you track isn’t yes/no. A 23:40 bedtime, a mood from your own list and 7,400 steps sit in one grid, colored by value, and go on one chart when you want to see what moves with what. Accept that it’s iPhone and web only, with reminders still on the roadmap. The deciding question: do you want an app that tells you whether you did it, or one that shows you how your sleep, mood and energy moved with it?
