Do Habits vs Way of Life

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

Way of Life

• People who want to log many habits in a few taps a day
• Tracking habits to break alongside habits to build
• Spotting long-term trends through charts rather than streaks alone

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.

Way of Life

• The free version limits the number of habits, and the store listings do not state the limit.
• The App Store lists Premium at $4.99, $14.99 and $29.99 without saying which is monthly, yearly or one-time.
• iOS and Android data formats are not interchangeable; the vendor offers a manual conversion on request.
• Apps are listed for iPhone and Android only; 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.

Way of Life

Color-coded daily tracking

Each day is marked green or red for every habit. The vendor says updating takes less than a minute a day.

Chains and scoreboard

Chains challenge you not to break a streak, and a scoreboard gives weekly and monthly feedback.

Charts

Pie charts, bar graphs with trend lines and a frequency distribution chart show positive and negative trends over weeks, months or years.

Notes and reminders

A note can record what went well or what triggered a bad habit, and reminders support flexible schedules and custom messages.

Lock, backup and export

The iOS app can be locked with a passcode, Face ID or Touch ID, backed up to a cloud storage provider of your choice, and exported as CSV, Excel or JSON.

Widgets, Siri and Shortcuts

The iOS app adds widgets, Siri and Shortcuts support, and URL schemes for working with other apps.
