What is Beaver Habit Tracker?

Beaver Habit Tracker is an open-source, browser-based habit tracker by Henry Zhu, built for ticking off daily or periodic habits without setting goals. It can be used as a hosted service at beaverhabits.com or self-hosted with Docker, and it includes notes, categories, import and export, and a REST API. The hosted service has a free Basic plan and a Pro upgrade sold as a one-time lifetime license.

Beaver Habit Tracker has a free plan. Paid plans start at $9.90 one-time for a Pro lifetime license. See every plan

Good for

  • People who want a plain streak tracker with no goals or scores
  • Self-hosters running Docker, Unraid or Easypanel
  • Ticking habits from an API, Home Assistant or a Stream Deck

Worth knowing

  • There are no store apps: it runs in a browser, with a standalone web-app mode on iOS, and a native iOS client is only in TestFlight beta.
  • On the hosted service, unlimited habits, categories and daily backup need the Pro license, and the Basic plan's habit cap is not published.
  • It has no goals by design: habits are ticked off per day, and the feature list includes no numeric targets or counts.
  • Self-hosting means running the Docker image yourself; the pricing section lists daily backup only under hosted Pro.

Key features

Streaks without goals
Habits are ticked off day by day in a grid and shown as streaks. The app deliberately leaves out goals and targets.
Daily notes and periodic habits
A note or description can be added to a day's entry, and a habit can follow a period such as every second weekend instead of every day.
Habit management
Habits can be reordered, edited, duplicated or archived from a context menu and grouped by category. Light and dark themes and custom CSS are supported.
REST API
An API creates, updates, lists and completes habits. The README links community projects built on it for Stream Deck, Home Assistant, Apple Shortcuts and CalDAV.
Self-hosting
The BSD-3-Clause licensed server runs from a Docker image, with templates for Unraid and Easypanel, and stores data in SQLite or a JSON file.
Import and export
Data exports and imports in the app's own JSON format, and CSV files from other trackers such as Loop Habit Tracker can be imported.
