Worth knowing
Habo
- Phone only: the vendor lists Android and iOS, the App Store listing is marked only for iPhone, and there is no web or desktop app.
- Syncing between devices needs a paid Habo Sync plan or a Supabase backend that you set up and run yourself.
- The terms limit the Lifetime purchase to the Habo Sync feature, for as long as it is offered; future standalone services may cost extra.
- The developer describes Habo as a one-person project supported by community contributors and translators.
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
Habo
- Quick check-ins
- A day can be logged as a success, a numeric value, missed or skipped, and a skip does not affect the streak. Each check-in can carry a note of up to 400 characters.
- Calendar and statistics
- A monthly calendar shows streaks and completions, and statistics chart streaks, trends and completions over time.
- Habo Sync
- Data is encrypted on the device with a Master Password before upload, so the server holds only ciphertext. Conflicts between devices are resolved by keeping the latest change.
- Self-hosted sync
- The sync backend is open source and runs on your own Supabase project. The app is pointed at it under Settings, and all sync features work without a subscription.
- Privacy and data control
- The app works without an internet connection or account, can be locked with Face ID, Touch ID or a passcode, and offers export and backup of your data.
- Organization and themes
- Habits can be grouped into categories, reordered by drag and drop and archived without losing history. Themes include dark, light, OLED and Material You on Android.
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.
