Best for finding patterns across your tracked data
Exist pulls data from your fitness trackers, calendar and other apps, adds your own entries like mood, and reports on what moves together. It's one plan at $6.99 a month after a 30-day trial, and it's about patterns, not a daily checklist.
Who Exist is for
- Fits if you already wear a tracker and want to see what affects your mood or sleep
- Works for people who like numbers more than streaks
Who Exist is not for
- Skip it if you want a simple daily habit checklist
- Tight if you need a free plan, because after 30 days it's $6.99 a month
- Watch out: business accounts are priced separately and the page shows no figure
- Watch out: it needs your other services connected to say anything useful

Keep Exist, or make your own?
You could make this
A habit tracker at its plainest is a list of habits, a tick for each day and a count of the streak.
What Exist does at its core is habit tracking and mood tracking, and that is the kind of thing an AI app builder makes well. You would give up 2 things, listed below, and little else. It costs $62.90 a year. An AI app builder starts at about $20 a month on our listings, and you only need it while you build.
What you could make
- Habit tracking and mood tracking: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Apple Health, Health Connect and Garmin among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Exist’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
