Alternatives · Habitify
Habitify alternatives, now that the free plan holds 3 habits.
Habitify alternatives became a real search in April 2026, when Habitify cut its free plan to 3 habits and moved Off Mode, checklists and the Apple Health, Strava and calendar integrations into its top Pro tier. Habit Pocket is the calm pick, with 5 free habits, real clock times and a browser; 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.
- The free plan now holds 3 habits
- Habitify replaced its old Free and Premium split with Free, Plus and Pro tiers. The free plan tracks up to 3 active habits with 1 reminder each, which is a trial in the shape of a plan. If you had six things running for nothing, that is the change you noticed first.
- Off Mode and the integrations sit on the top tier
- Habitify puts checklists, End Condition, Off Mode for rest days, Apple Health and Health Connect syncing, Strava, Fitbit, calendar integration, NFC tags and the API on Pro. Plus lifts the caps on habits, reminders and areas but leaves all of that behind, so the features people quote when they recommend Habitify are on the most expensive plan.
- Plus is annual only
- Habitify sells Plus as an annual subscription with no monthly option, and on iOS the monthly Pro plan carries a 12-month commitment. There is no cheap way to try a year of the app for a month, which is a lot to ask of someone who has just been moved onto a new plan.
- The advertised price and the real price disagree
- As of August 2026 habitify.me still advertises the older Premium plan at $2.49 a month billed annually with a $59.99 lifetime, while the help centre documents the Free, Plus and Pro tiers that replaced it in April. Store listings and regions add more variation on top. Nobody enjoys finding that out at the till.
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 iOS, Android, the web, macOS, Apple Watch and Wear OS, pulls from Apple Health, Health Connect, Strava and Fitbit, syncs to Google, Outlook and Apple calendars, and has an API alongside Zapier and IFTTT. Habit Pocket has no Watch app, no Android app yet, no Strava, no Fitbit and no calendar sync, and push reminders are still on the roadmap rather than shipped. Worth knowing too: if you already paid for Premium, Habitify moved you to Pro on your existing plan, so the pricing news is not actually your news. Switching is only worth it if the free cap caught you, or if you want to log numbers and clock times rather 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 5 free habits
Habit Pocket is my own app, which is the only reason it appears on this list, so read this card knowing that. It answers the two complaints behind most of this search: the free tier holds 5 habits rather than 3, with sync and CSV/JSON export included, and there is a $49 one-time Lifetime alongside the $3.99 a month. What it adds over a reminder-first tracker is the value itself. A cell holds a number with its own unit (5,000 steps, 76.4 kg) or a real clock time, so a 07:15 wake-up is stored as a time rather than a number in disguise, and the candle chart pairs bedtime and wake-up into one bar a night. On iPhone it opens straight into the grid with no account at all.
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 on the roadmap rather than shipped, so a calendar event is the honest workaround today. Apple Health auto-fill covers 15 metrics but only on iPhone and only on Pro, sleep is still typed by hand, and there is no Strava, Fitbit or calendar sync. There is also no importer, so a Habitify export has nothing to be fed into.

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.

- iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, Mac, Vision Pro
- Price
- $5.99 once, nothing recurring
- 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.

- iOS + Android
- Price
- Small free tier · $1.99/mo, $11.99/yr or $29.99 once

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 3-habit cap 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 also 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 has no price in this table on purpose: in August 2026 habitify.me still advertises the older Premium plan at $2.49 a month billed annually with a $59.99 lifetime, while Habitify’s own help centre documents the Free, Plus and Pro tiers that replaced it on April 6, 2026. Check what the app charges you before committing. Every other cell was 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 replaced its Free and Premium split with three tiers on April 6, 2026. The free plan now tracks up to 3 active habits with 1 reminder each. Plus lifts the limits on habits, reminders and areas and is sold as an annual subscription only. Pro adds everything people usually recommend Habitify for: checklists, End Condition, Off Mode, Apple Health and Health Connect syncing, Strava, Fitbit, calendar integration, NFC tags and the API. Existing Premium subscribers were moved to Pro on their existing plan and pay nothing more. One caution on the numbers: in August 2026 habitify.me still shows the older Premium plan at $2.49 a month billed annually with a $59.99 lifetime, so check the price the app quotes you rather than the one on the website.
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 like Habitify does, 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 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 does still sell a lifetime option, but its price differs between the website and the App Store, which is exactly the sort of thing worth checking before you buy.
No, and pretending otherwise would be silly. Habitify pulls from Apple Health, Health Connect, Strava and Fitbit, syncs with Google, Outlook and Apple calendars, and offers an API plus Zapier and IFTTT, all on its Pro tier. Habit Pocket auto-fills a numeric habit from 15 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.
Habit Pocket calls it a skip, and it is free on every tier rather than sitting on the top one. 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.
Not as a file, and this catches people out. Habit Pocket exports CSV and JSON but has no importer, so a Habitify export has nothing to be read into. On Pro the public REST API accepts a value for any date you name, so a short script can replay an old history day by day, which is the real workaround. Otherwise most people start clean on the day they switch and keep Habitify installed for a while as a read-only archive.
