Worth knowing

- There is no free trial of Plus and Family Sharing is not supported; refunds are handled by Apple.
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.
Key features
(Not Boring) Habits
- 60-repetition quest
- Every check-in moves a habit one step along a quest of 60 repetitions and eight levels, revealing another line of its story. Missed days do not reset anything, and logging can continue past 60.
- Daily goals and partial completion
- Set a daily goal such as 5 times or 10,000 steps a day and log it in parts. The habit counts as done for the day once the goal is reached, shown by a progress circle until then.
- Schedules and reminders
- Choose the days a habit applies to and up to 5 times a day for it, with optional push reminders. Reminders are muted when a habit has not been viewed for 7 days.
- Calendar, statistics and recaps
- A calendar view shows completed days year by year, each habit has a statistics page with a total-repetitions chart, and recap notifications can arrive weekly, monthly or yearly.
- Personal Quests
- On a device with Apple Intelligence turned on and set to English, a newly created habit gets a quest story written around it. The vendor says this runs on the device and nothing is shared.
- Widgets and skins
- Home screen widgets show progress for one habit, several habits or the week, and skins change the look and feel of the whole app. Both are part of Plus.
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.
