APPS WE LOVE

Build Better Habits, Faster

Stick to your goals with this Apple Design Award winner.

This habit tracker turns each habit you want to build (or break) into one big, bold button you just touch and hold to mark done.

What we love: How Streaks’ beautiful charts of your habit history inspire you to stay on track with your goals. Mark a habit like “read for 10 minutes” as done, then tap it again for a calendar view or bar chart of your streaks. Or tap the star icon to seriously geek out over your habit stats.

Set goals, develop daily habits, and see your progress over time.

Quick tip: The Break It Down feature reframes a daunting goal into more approachable tasks. If you’re trying to create a weekly meal plan, for example, Streaks might suggest gathering recipes, creating an ingredient list, and going shopping.

Meet the creator: According to Crunchy Bagel founder Quentin Zervaas, one of the more surprising requests the company has received is for a custom icon depicting a Viking helmet. “Maybe they’re a costume designer or they’re playing an online game—I’m not sure,” Zervaas says. The helmet is now one of roughly 500 icons that have been added to the app.
