Key features
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.
Way of Life
- Color-coded daily tracking
- Each day is marked green or red for every habit. The vendor says updating takes less than a minute a day.
- Chains and scoreboard
- Chains challenge you not to break a streak, and a scoreboard gives weekly and monthly feedback.
- Charts
- Pie charts, bar graphs with trend lines and a frequency distribution chart show positive and negative trends over weeks, months or years.
- Notes and reminders
- A note can record what went well or what triggered a bad habit, and reminders support flexible schedules and custom messages.
- Lock, backup and export
- The iOS app can be locked with a passcode, Face ID or Touch ID, backed up to a cloud storage provider of your choice, and exported as CSV, Excel or JSON.
- Widgets, Siri and Shortcuts
