Habit Star helps you keep doing the things you meant to keep doing.
Check a habit off and it is done. That is the whole daily loop — one tap, on a screen that shows today and nothing else. Everything below is what the app does with those taps once you have been at it a while.
BUILD THE HABIT
• Daily, every other day, chosen weekdays, or a number of times a week
• Several times a day, if that is the shape of it
• Reminders at the times you pick, worded the way you want
• Streaks, and a star when you reach a goal you set
• Drag habits into the order you actually do them
SEE WHAT HAPPENED
• The month as a calendar, every day green, amber or red
• A timeline where a run of days draws as one unbroken line
• Momentum, consistency by week, and the days you tend to skip
• Your record and your current run, side by side
RECORD MORE THAN A CHECKMARK
• Add fields to a habit — minutes, reps, weight, how it felt
• Set a target and see how often you hit it
• A journal of every note and value you have written, searchable by word or by meaning
ON YOUR HOME SCREEN, YOUR WRIST, AND BY VOICE
• A widget you can check habits off from without opening the app
• A progress ring and your perfect-day run, on the home and lock screens
• "Hey Siri, mark meditation done in Habit Star"
• An Apple Watch app with today's list, and complications for the watch face
APPLE HEALTH
• Link a habit to steps, exercise or mindful minutes and let it check itself off
• Read-only and opt-in per habit. It only ever adds a completion, never removes one
ON NEWER IPHONES
• Describe a habit in a sentence and the form fills itself in
• Write "ran 5k in 28 min" as a note and the numbers land on the habit's fields
• Apple's own model, running on the phone. Nothing is sent anywhere. iOS 26 on iPhone 15 Pro or later
YOURS TO KEEP
• In English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Português, 日本語 and Suomi
• Everything lives on your device. No account, no sign-up, no server
• Export a full backup whenever you like and restore it on a new phone
• Thirty-four themes, light and dark — pick one of each and the app follows your phone
HABIT STAR PRO
A one-time unlock, not a subscription. Trends, the calendar, the timeline, fields and targets, the journal, Apple Health, the Apple Watch app, the on-device suggestions, CSV export, and sixteen more themes with a builder for making your own. Buy it once and it follows your Apple ID to every device.
The free app tracks habits properly. Today's screen, streaks, reminders, widgets, Siri, backup and restore are not behind the paywall.
I love this app! As soon as I opened it, I felt like it was made for me. I like this habit tracking app better than the others because of how personalized I can make it. I can create virtually any habit I want, set a time to get a little reminder, change screen options and start building up all my good habits. The ability to earn stars and build up many days in a row makes it fun too!

Best habit tracker out there
man with arms!
My life’s a mess and habit star is helping to make me stay organized. It’s flexibility is what sets it a part. Instead of being lazy and chaotic I’m now lazy and organized. No, but seriously, it’s helping me to get things done that I’d typically procrastinate on or forget entirely. +1 habit star

Break a habit, skip a day.
• A habit can be one you're breaking. Each day counts as kept unless you log a slip, and a tap on the chain logs one.
• With Pro, a slip can note how strong the urge was, how much, and what set it off.
• Skip a day or pause a habit from its details, the entry sheet or a long press. Skipped and paused days count neither for nor against you.
• With Pro, Sync with iCloud keeps your habits the same on every iPhone and iPad. Turn it on in Sync and backup.
• Share a picture of a habit's week from its details.
• Pick any color for a habit: hue, saturation and lightness, from the last swatch.
• Change a habit's schedule and start date from its details, and every star it already earned stays.
• A routine timer can chime when it reaches its target, in the app and from the lock screen.
• The app icon shows how many habits are still open today.
• Habits are free and unlimited. Pro is a single purchase, with no subscription.
Fixes
• Reminders ring with your iPhone's notification sound instead of arriving silently.
• Home moves on to the new day at midnight, and when you come back to the app.
• A workout's sets scroll inside the routine card, so Done stays in place.
• The status bar and the fade at the bottom of Home follow a light theme.
• The keyboard goes away when you leave the app.
