Habitify

Daily schedule and reminders

Progress tracking

A calendar, streak counts and completion rates show how consistently each habit is being kept.

Habits can be linked to data from Apple Health, Health Connect, Fitbit and Strava. Health app sync is listed as a Pro feature.

Today Habit Tracker

Card dashboard per habit

Each habit has its own dashboard built from cards you pick and customize: streak calendar, milestones, photo gallery, Apple Health charts, custom charts, counters and journal notes.

Streak calendar

A monthly calendar of check-ins shows the current and longest streaks and lets you check in for a previous day. Swipe sideways to view earlier months.

Apple Health charts

Connect Apple Health to view and track more than 30 data sources such as steps, weight, sleep, active calories and caffeine, each with a goal value you set.

Photo covers and badges

Every habit carries a full-screen photo cover from the app's gallery or your own photos, and badges awarded for progress can be shared.

Apple Watch and notifications

The Apple Watch app lists the check-ins due today and has a complication. Rich notifications show progress and let you check in from the notification itself.

Backups, lock and action URLs

Premium backs data up automatically to iCloud Drive or Dropbox and locks the app with Face ID, Touch ID or a passcode. Action URLs follow the x-callback-url scheme for automation apps.
