Do Habits vs Habit List

Do Habits

• iPhone users who want to count a habit several times a day
• Habits the Health app can measure automatically, such as daily steps
• People who want their habit history as a CSV file

Habit List

• iPhone users who want a short list of only what is due today
• Habits on irregular schedules, such as any 4 days a week
• People who want to track habits without creating an account

Do Habits

• The free version stops at 3 habits; any more needs Premium.
• The App Store lists the app for iPhone and Apple Watch only; no iPad, Mac, Android or web version is listed.
• The vendor's site shows no prices, and the US App Store lists yearly Premium at both $19.99 and $59.99, so the amount charged in the app may differ.
• The one-time upgrade items appear in the App Store list without descriptions, so it is unclear which of them a new customer is offered.

Habit List

• The App Store listing is marked only for iPhone; no iPad, Mac, Android or web version is listed.
• The free version stops at three habits, and the passcode or Touch ID lock and dark mode are part of Premium.
• The App Store lists Upgrade to Premium at $4.99 without a billing period, so the listing does not say whether it is a one-time unlock.
• The current version requires iOS 18.6 or later, and neither the site nor the listing mentions sync between devices.

Do Habits

Goals several times a day

Set a goal on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis and track it more than once a day; the app tells you when the goal for the period has been met.

Streaks with skip days

Streaks count consecutive periods in which a goal was met. Skip Days and Vacation Mode keep a rest day or a trip away from breaking a streak.

Calendar and trend graphs

A calendar marks each goal as completed or missed, and graphs show trends over a week, a month or a year alongside the longest streak and the number of goals completed.

Apple Health tracking

A habit can be linked to Apple HealthKit so that activity such as steps is counted toward its goal automatically.

Reminders, journal and passcode

Each habit can have multiple reminders and daily journal notes, past activity can be edited, and the app can be locked with a passcode, Face ID or Touch ID.

Apple Watch, widgets and export

Track from an Apple Watch or a Home Screen widget, use Shortcuts and Siri, back up to iCloud or Dropbox, and export data as CSV with totals and time stamps.

Habit List

Streaks with colored badges

Each habit shows its streak and personal best. Green means due today, red means you have fallen behind, yellow marks a streak that just ended and gray marks optional days.

Today view

The main list shows only the habits due today, in an order you set, and tapping Today shows the day's completion percentage.

Flexible scheduling

Three schedule types cover specific days such as Monday, Wednesday and Friday, a number of non-specific days per week, and intervals such as every 2 to 3 days.

Reminders and app badge

Per-habit reminders can be completed from the notification, the app badge counts habits left for the day, and a daily review reminder is optional.

Trends and history

Weekly and monthly completion percentages are drawn as bars colored from green to red, alongside each habit's history, longest streak and total completions.

Skips, counts and export

Habits can be done several times a day, skipped without breaking a streak or marked as missed. Data can be exported as JSON.
