HabitMinder vs Streaks

HabitMinder

• Health habits such as steps, hydration, breathing and sleep
• Apple Watch owners who want to log habits from the wrist
• People who would rather start from ready-made habit ideas

Streaks

• People who want a simple habit tracker on Apple devices
• Habits the Health app can confirm automatically, such as daily steps
• Buyers who prefer a one-time purchase to a subscription

HabitMinder

• The App Store listing says Premium unlocks unlimited habits and advanced stats but does not state how many habits the free version allows.
• The US App Store lists Premium items at prices from $0.99 to $59.99, so the amount shown in the app may differ from the $9.99 yearly plan.
• The Android app was last updated on Aug 26, 2022, according to its Google Play listing, which gives in-app prices of $2.99 to $19.99 per item.
• The website links to a Mac App Store version, but that listing no longer loads on the US store.

Streaks

• Listed only for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac and Apple Vision Pro; no Android, Windows or web version is offered.
• The app tracks at most 24 tasks.
• It is a paid download at $5.99; no free version or trial is listed.

HabitMinder

Pre-defined and custom habits

Pick from more than 50 ready-made habit ideas such as walking, hydration, breathing and stretching, or create your own with a goal, habit type, color, icon and reminders.

Sessions and mini apps

Each habit's detail screen has a purpose-built session screen, and mini apps for hydration, breathing and focus sessions help you complete the habit rather than only log it.

Statistics and streaks

See completion rates, streaks and detailed statistics for each habit, including calendar and year-by-month views. Advanced stats are part of Premium.

Apple Health sync

Some habits, sleep included, read their data from the Apple Health app automatically. The vendor says no data is sent outside the device.

Apple Watch, widgets and Siri

Log habits from the Apple Watch app, from home-screen widgets, or by voice with Siri Shortcuts phrases such as "Log 15 squats".

Pause, vacation mode and grouping

A habit can be paused on its own, vacation mode pauses all habits at once, and habits can be grouped by morning, afternoon, night or all day.

Streaks

Up to 24 tasks with streaks

Choose or create up to 24 tasks. Completing a task extends its streak by a day, and breaking the chain resets the streak to zero.

Flexible schedules

A task does not have to be daily: set the days it applies to, or a weekly frequency, so that days off do not break the streak.

Health app tracking

Tasks linked to the iOS Health app, such as steps or running distance, are recognized as complete automatically.

Negative and timed tasks

Negative tasks are meant for breaking bad habits, and timed tasks are also supported.

Apple Watch, widgets and Siri Shortcuts

The Apple Watch app has complications and widgets, the iPhone has home screen widgets, and Siri Shortcuts are supported.

iCloud sync and sharing

Tasks sync across your devices through iCloud and can be shared with other Streaks users.
