Alternatives · Habitify
Habitify alternatives, now that the free plan keeps only a few habits active.
Habitify alternatives became a real search in 2026. Habitify split into Free, Plus and Pro on April 6, and since April 29 a free account can create as many habits as it likes, but only a few stay active. The rest are view-only. Correlations and integrations went to Pro. Habit Pocket is the pick if you log numbers, clock times and lists and want them in one grid; Loop is free and open source on Android; Streaks costs $5.99 once on iPhone; HabitKit does tile grids on both phones. Habitify still wins on reach and integrations, and nothing on this list replaces them.

The reason
Why look for a Habitify alternative in 2026?
Habitify did not get worse. It got restructured, on April 6, 2026, and the restructure is what most people are reacting to. Which part annoyed you decides which app below is right.
- Only a few free habits stay active
- Since version 38 (April 29, 2026), Habitify’s free plan lets you create as many habits as you like, but anything past the basic limit is view-only. You can look at those habits. You can’t log them. If you had six things running for nothing, that is the change you noticed first.
- Correlations and integrations sit on the top tier
- Habitify Plus is $29.99 a year on the US App Store (October 2026) and gets you unlimited habits, smart reminders and custom group areas. The automated integrations (Apple Health and others), the advanced timers (pomodoro, stopwatch) and Advanced Insights are Pro only, and Advanced Insights is where the completion trends, detailed reports and habit correlations live. Pro is $8.99 a month, $49.99 a year or $119.99 lifetime on the same store. So the features people quote when they recommend Habitify are on the most expensive plan.
- You want the value, not just the tick
- Going by Habitify’s own App Store listing, it doesn’t log a time of day as data. Its time-of-day sections decide when a habit shows up, not what time you actually did it. There are no custom select lists beyond mood, and reviewers say the stats take effort to read. If you track because you want to see how your sleep, mood and energy move, that is the gap.
Before you switch
Keep Habitify if you need it on every device, with the integrations.
Habitify is not a bad app you are escaping, and nothing on this list matches its reach. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Vision Pro, Android, Wear OS, Windows and the web. It connects to Apple Health (both ways), Google Fit, Fitbit, Strava, Screen Time, RescueTime and Apple Calendar, with Zapier, IFTTT and an API on top. Since March 3, 2026 it has had an MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT, and since September an in-app assistant, Habi AI, that looks at your progress and correlations. You can also run challenges with friends. Habit Pocket has no Watch app, no Android app yet and one integration (Apple Health), and push reminders are on the roadmap, not shipped. Switching is only worth it if the free limit caught you, or if you’d rather log numbers, clock times and lists than be reminded.
The shortlist
5 Habitify alternatives worth considering
Ordered by the need each one answers, not by which I would prefer you picked. Every entry names where it loses, including mine.
- 01
Habit Pocket
My appBest for: Numbers, clock times and lists in one grid
Habit Pocket is my own app, which is the only reason it appears on this list, so read this card knowing that. It’s built for the value, not the tick. One grid, one row per habit, holds a number with its own unit (5,000 steps, 76.4 kg), a real clock time (a 07:15 wake-up stored as a time, not a number in disguise) and a pick from a list you define, like mood or workout type. A numeric or time cell can take its colour from bands you set, so a colour can mean a late night instead of just “logged”. Pro lets you build your own charts and put any habit over any other on one timeline, bedtime against energy. The free plan holds 5 habits, yes/no and numbers, with sync and CSV/JSON export; time-of-day and list habits are Pro. On price: Habit Pocket Pro is $29.99 a year and includes numeric goals, time-of-day and list habits plus every chart. Habitify’s correlation insights are in its Pro plan at $49.99 a year, and Habitify Plus is $29.99 a year without them (US App Store, October 2026).
Where it loses: Habit Pocket has no Apple Watch app and no Android app yet, which is a good part of why anyone picked Habitify. Push reminders are coming soon but aren’t shipped, so a calendar event is the honest workaround today. An overlay chart shows two habits moving together, not which one caused the other, and there’s no automatic correlation report like the one in Habitify Pro. Apple Health auto-fill covers 53 metrics, but only on iPhone and only on Pro. Sleep is still typed by hand, and there is no Strava, Fitbit or calendar sync. A Habitify history comes across only as a CSV import in the web app, and I haven’t tested that with a Habitify file.

Streaks
Best for: Paying once and never again, on iPhone
Streaks is the pick if the subscription is the part you are leaving. It costs $5.99 once on the App Store with nothing recurring, auto-completes tasks straight from Apple Health, and has the best Apple Watch app in this category by some distance. It is an Apple Editors’ Choice and it earns it: for a handful of yes/no tasks marked off from a wrist, nothing here is quicker.
Where it loses: Streaks runs on Apple hardware and nowhere else, which is the opposite of the reason most people chose Habitify in the first place. There is no free tier at all, no web app, a hard ceiling of 24 tasks, and no numeric habits with units, so a step count or a weight has nowhere to live.

- 03
HabitKit
Best for: Tile grids and widgets on both phones
HabitKit turns each habit into a GitHub-style tile grid that fills in as you go, and its home-screen widgets are the best-looking in the category on both iOS and Android. It allows several completions in one day and flexible frequency goals, so "three times a week" is a first-class idea rather than a streak you keep having to forgive. At $29.99 once it is the cheapest lifetime unlock on this page.
Where it loses: HabitKit is yes/no only. No numeric habits with units, no timers, and no health integrations at all, so it fixes the price complaint and none of the integration one. Sync is backup-based rather than live, so a second device means exporting and restoring a file, and the free tier is small.

Loop Habit Tracker
Best for: Free, open source, and no cap at all
Loop Habit Tracker is completely free and open source under GPL-3.0, needs no account, works entirely offline, and still gives you measurable habits alongside yes/no ones, daily reminders, a habit-strength score and CSV export. If the free limit is what pushed you out and you carry an Android phone, Loop is the honest end of the search: no cap, no tier, nothing waiting behind anything.
Where it loses: Loop is Android only. No iPhone app, no web app, no macOS, no watch app, and no sync between devices, which is close to the inverse of what Habitify sells. If you picked Habitify because it was on everything you own, Loop will feel like a downgrade on every axis except price.

Everyday
Best for: A chain grid on roughly as many devices
Everyday keeps the don’t-break-the-chain grid across a browser, iPhone, Android, an Apple Watch and browser extensions, and it supports a skip so one missed day does not wipe a chain. Of everything here it is the closest to Habitify in shape, and the year-grid view is the nicest way to look at a long run of yes/no habits on a laptop.
Where it loses: Everyday’s free tier stops at 3 habits, so it does not fix the thing that sent you looking. It is yes/no only, with no numeric habits and no health integrations, and its paid plans are the most expensive on this page: roughly $49.99 a year on the US App Store, with a lifetime tier well over $100.

Habitify’s prices come from its US App Store listing, checked October 18, 2026. Plus is $29.99 a year. Pro is $8.99 a month, $49.99 a year or $119.99 lifetime, with a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan, and a legacy $59.99 lifetime is still listed. Family is $89.99 a year. Since April 29, 2026, Habitify’s free users can create any number of habits, but only a few stay active. In the Habit Pocket column, time-of-day habits, select lists, the chart builder and the candle chart are Pro, so a grid that mixes numbers, times and lists needs Pro too; colour bands are on every plan. The Streaks, HabitKit, Loop and Everyday cells were checked in August 2026 against each app’s official site or store listing. Prices are US store prices and move with your region. A dash in the Habit Pocket column is an honest gap, not a hidden one.
Demo
The chart a reminder-first tracker cannot draw.
Habit Pocket stores a bedtime and a wake-up as real clock times, so the candle chart can pair each night into a single bar and handle the overnight span properly: a 23:40 bedtime and a 07:10 wake-up read as one continuous night. Habitify reminds you to go to bed. It does not hold what time you actually did. Example data, not a real history.
Demo
Two habits on one timeline, because the values are real.
Any habit can be laid over any other on a single timeline, so steps against weight or bedtime against energy is one chart rather than two tabs. This works because Habit Pocket stores actual numbers and times rather than a completed flag. Example data, not a real history.

FAQ
Habitify alternatives — common questions
Habitify moved to Free, Plus and Pro tiers on April 6, 2026, and put habit correlations in Pro. Since version 38 (April 29, 2026), free users can create any number of habits, but anything past the basic limit is view-only, so only a few stay active. On the US App Store in October 2026, Plus is $29.99 a year and adds unlimited habits, smart reminders and custom group areas. Pro is $8.99 a month, $49.99 a year or $119.99 lifetime, with a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan. A legacy $59.99 lifetime is also listed, and a Family plan is $89.99 a year. Pro holds the automated integrations (Apple Health and others), the advanced timers and Advanced Insights, which covers completion trends, detailed reports and habit correlations. So Habitify isn’t subscription-only. The lifetime option is real.
Loop Habit Tracker, without much of a contest, if you are on Android: everything is free and open source under GPL-3.0, with no cap and no paid tier. On iPhone or in a browser the answer is Habit Pocket, which is free forever for up to 5 habits and includes sync across devices and CSV/JSON export in that free tier rather than holding them back. Everyday stops at 3 habits, Habitify’s free plan keeps only a few habits active, HabitKit’s free tier is small, and Streaks has no free tier at all.
Streaks is the cleanest answer at $5.99 once with nothing recurring, and HabitKit sells a $29.99 lifetime unlock alongside its monthly plan. Loop is free outright. Habit Pocket offers $49.99 once as an alternative to $3.99 a month, and on cancelling a monthly plan you keep Pro to the end of the period and then drop to the free tier with every habit and entry intact. Habitify sells a lifetime too. Pro lifetime is $119.99 on the US App Store (October 2026), and a legacy $59.99 lifetime is still listed there.
No, and pretending otherwise would be silly. Habitify connects to Apple Health (both ways), Google Fit, Fitbit, Strava, Screen Time, RescueTime and Apple Calendar, and offers an API plus Zapier and IFTTT. The automated integrations are on its Pro tier. Habit Pocket auto-fills a numeric habit from 53 Apple Health metrics on iPhone, read-only and on a rolling 30-day window, and has its own REST API and a hosted MCP server for Claude or ChatGPT, but that is the whole list: no Strava, no Fitbit, no calendar sync, and sleep is still typed by hand. Streaks reads Apple Health. HabitKit, Loop and Everyday have no health integrations at all.
Habitify’s Off Mode pauses your habits for a planned break, like a trip, and keeps your streaks while it runs. In Habit Pocket the closest thing is a skip, and it is free on every tier. A skipped day shows as a diagonal half-fill in the grid and pauses a streak instead of breaking it. There is also a per-habit setting for excluded weekdays, so a weekdays-only habit is not marked down on a Saturday at all. Everyday supports a skip too. Streaks, HabitKit and Loop have no equivalent, so a rest day costs you the run.
Yes, as a CSV, with one caveat. Habit Pocket’s web app imports a CSV with one date column and one column per habit, free on every plan, and shows every value before it writes anything. I have not tested a Habitify export, so if it lists one row per entry rather than one row per day, reshape it in a spreadsheet first. More than five habits need Pro. Some people simply start clean and keep Habitify installed for a while as a read-only archive.
