Productive - Habit Tracker

Habit management

Create, complete, pause or stop habits, add notes to them, and give each one its own name, icon and color. A library of habit templates offers starting points.

Smart reminders

Reminders can be tied to a time of day or to a location. Location-based reminders and improved reminders for individual habits are Premium features.

Statistics and streaks

Chains of completed habits and perfect days show consistency. Per-habit statistics and week-by-week trends are Premium features.

Programs

Choose a goal and receive daily habit tips, reflection check-ins and motivation prompts built around it.

Challenges

Guided challenges are completed alongside other users around the world. The website lists real-time challenges as part of Premium.

Apple Watch app

The App Store listing covers iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, so habits can be checked off from the wrist.

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.
