Keep Habit Quest, 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 Habit Quest does at its core is tasks, habit tracking, Pomodoro timer and goals, and that is the kind of thing an AI app builder makes well. You would give up one thing, listed below, and little else. It costs $60 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
- Tasks, habit tracking, Pomodoro timer and goals: an app builder makes these well.
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- Blocking that reaches every browser and app and is hard to switch off.
What this rests on. Habit Quest’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.
