Who each one suits

- Anyone who wants to export habit data to CSV or SQLite
Worth knowing
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.
Loop Habit Tracker
- Android only: the FAQ says there is no iOS version and that App Store apps using the name are unauthorized copies.
- There is no account or built-in sync; backups rely on Android's backup service or a manually exported file.
- Only positive habits are tracked, so a habit to quit has to be rephrased, for example as a smoke-free day.
- Version 2.3.1 on F-Droid requires Android 9.0 or newer.
Key features
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.
Loop Habit Tracker
- Habit score
- A formula based on exponential smoothing rates the strength of each habit. Every repetition raises the score, and a missed day lowers it without resetting progress.
- Flexible schedules
- Besides daily habits, schedules such as 3 times per week or every other day are supported. A day can be marked as skipped, which leaves the score and streak unchanged.
- Reminders
- Each habit can have its own reminder at a chosen time of day, and a habit can be checked or dismissed directly from the notification.
- Home screen widgets
- Widgets for checkmarks, frequency, habit strength, history and streaks let you track habits from the home screen without opening the app.
- Graphs and statistics
- Graphs show how each habit has developed over time, and the full history of a habit can be scrolled back through.
- Data export and Tasker support
- Data can be exported to CSV spreadsheets or an SQLite database file, and other apps such as Tasker can add checkmarks.
