Do Habits vs HabitKit

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

HabitKit

• People who want to see a year of each habit at a glance
• Users who want no account and their habit data kept on the phone
• Buyers who would rather pay once than subscribe
• Tracking up to four habits for free with no time limit

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.

HabitKit

• The free version stops at four active habits; widgets, charts, extra reminders, and export and import need Pro.
• Nothing syncs between devices: moving to a new phone means exporting a file and importing it, and export and import are Pro features.
• The US App Store lists several amounts for each Pro period, such as $0.99, $1.99 and $4.99 for one month; the app shows the price that applies.
• Listed for iPhone and Android only. The help center says there is no Apple Watch app, and no web or desktop version is listed.

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.

HabitKit

Tile grid for every habit

Each habit gets a year-long grid with one tile per day and one column per week, and the dashboard offers three views for seeing all habits together.

Yes/No, Count and Measure tracking

A habit can be a daily tick, a whole-number count or a measured amount with a unit and up to three decimal places. Counts and amounts use a daily goal or, for quit habits, a stay-below limit.

Streaks and flexible goals

Streaks follow a daily, weekly or monthly goal, such as 3 times a week or 20 times a month, so planned days off are not misses. There is no streak freeze or skip day.

Home screen widgets

Widgets on iPhone and Android show habit grids and let you log a habit without opening the app. They are part of Pro; without it a widget shows a padlock.

Siri and iOS Shortcuts

Seven iOS Shortcuts actions log amounts and notes, edit past days, read progress or open a habit, and can be run with Siri or from automations.

On-device data and backups

Habit data stays on the phone with no account. The app keeps seven daily backups that are free to restore, and Pro adds export and import of one JSON file.
