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.

Today Habit Tracker

Card dashboard per habit

Each habit has its own dashboard built from cards you pick and customize: streak calendar, milestones, photo gallery, Apple Health charts, custom charts, counters and journal notes.

Streak calendar

A monthly calendar of check-ins shows the current and longest streaks and lets you check in for a previous day. Swipe sideways to view earlier months.

Apple Health charts

Connect Apple Health to view and track more than 30 data sources such as steps, weight, sleep, active calories and caffeine, each with a goal value you set.

Photo covers and badges

Every habit carries a full-screen photo cover from the app's gallery or your own photos, and badges awarded for progress can be shared.

Apple Watch and notifications

The Apple Watch app lists the check-ins due today and has a complication. Rich notifications show progress and let you check in from the notification itself.

Backups, lock and action URLs

Premium backs data up automatically to iCloud Drive or Dropbox and locks the app with Face ID, Touch ID or a passcode. Action URLs follow the x-callback-url scheme for automation apps.
