Awesome Habits vs HabitMinder

Awesome Habits

• Apple users who want one tracker across iPhone, iPad, Mac and Watch
• People who want no account and their data kept in their own iCloud
• Filling in steps, sleep and workouts from Apple Health automatically
• Buyers who prefer a low one-time price to a subscription

HabitMinder

• Health habits such as steps, hydration, breathing and sleep
• Apple Watch owners who want to log habits from the wrist
• People who would rather start from ready-made habit ideas

Awesome Habits

• Apple only: iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. There is no Android, Windows or web version.
• The free version is described only as basic features; App Store reviews from 2024 mention a cap of three habits and widgets reserved for Premium.
• The current version requires iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS 15 or watchOS 10 or later.
• Habit ideas and weekly recaps rely on Apple Intelligence, which is limited to supported devices and regions; the recap needs iOS 27.

HabitMinder

• The App Store listing says Premium unlocks unlimited habits and advanced stats but does not state how many habits the free version allows.
• The US App Store lists Premium items at prices from $0.99 to $59.99, so the amount shown in the app may differ from the $9.99 yearly plan.
• The Android app was last updated on Aug 26, 2022, according to its Google Play listing, which gives in-app prices of $2.99 to $19.99 per item.
• The website links to a Mac App Store version, but that listing no longer loads on the US store.

Awesome Habits

Goals for building or breaking habits

Each habit has a daily, weekly or monthly goal. Habits can be counted, including decimal amounts, or timed with a timer, and progress past the goal is recorded too.

Apple Health sync

Health metrics such as sleep duration, daily steps, active energy and workouts are tracked automatically from the Health app.

Statistics and history

Statistics include heatmaps and streaks, habits can be grouped into lists with notes, and any past day's record can be edited afterwards.

Widgets and Live Activities

Interactive widgets cover the Home Screen, Lock Screen, StandBy and Control Center, alongside Live Activities, the Dynamic Island and Apple Watch complications.

Apple Intelligence features

Habit ideas are generated on the device, and a weekly recap of your habits is available on iOS 27. Both depend on supported devices and regions.

Private iCloud sync and export

No account is created. Data stays on the device and syncs through the user's own iCloud, the vendor says it collects no data, and records can be exported to CSV.

HabitMinder

Pre-defined and custom habits

Pick from more than 50 ready-made habit ideas such as walking, hydration, breathing and stretching, or create your own with a goal, habit type, color, icon and reminders.

Sessions and mini apps

Each habit's detail screen has a purpose-built session screen, and mini apps for hydration, breathing and focus sessions help you complete the habit rather than only log it.

Statistics and streaks

See completion rates, streaks and detailed statistics for each habit, including calendar and year-by-month views. Advanced stats are part of Premium.

Apple Health sync

Some habits, sleep included, read their data from the Apple Health app automatically. The vendor says no data is sent outside the device.

Apple Watch, widgets and Siri

Log habits from the Apple Watch app, from home-screen widgets, or by voice with Siri Shortcuts phrases such as "Log 15 squats".

Pause, vacation mode and grouping

A habit can be paused on its own, vacation mode pauses all habits at once, and habits can be grouped by morning, afternoon, night or all day.
