Best for a habit tracker on Apple devices
HabitBoard is a habit tracker for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch with streaks, weekly goals and widgets. The free version stops at 3 habits, and everything else needs Pro, whose price the pages we read don't show.
Who HabitBoard is for
- Fits if you live in the Apple world and want habits on your watch
- Works for people with only a few habits to track
Who HabitBoard is not for
- Skip it if you use Android or Windows, as it's Apple only
- Tight if you track more than 3 habits and stay free
- Watch out: overall stats, custom colors, per-habit reminders and the archive need Pro
- Watch out: no Pro price is shown on the pages we read

Keep HabitBoard, or make your own?
Your call
A habit tracker at its plainest is a list of habits, a tick for each day and a count of the streak.
You could make the core of HabitBoard for yourself: habit tracking, goals, reports and daily notes. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call.
What you could make
- Habit tracking, goals, reports and daily notes: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS. Something home-made would be a web page.
- Hooks into the device itself: an Apple Watch app, widgets, Shortcuts and the lock screen.
What this rests on. HabitBoard’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.
What is HabitBoard?
HabitBoard is a habit tracker for Apple devices with a calendar-style history, streaks, weekly goals and skipped days. Widgets, Shortcuts actions and an Apple Watch app let you mark habits without opening the app. The free version tracks 3 habits; HabitBoard Pro removes that limit.
Worth knowing
- The free version is limited to 3 habits; unlimited habits need HabitBoard Pro.
- Overall statistics, custom colors, per-habit reminders and the archive are Pro features.
- It runs on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch only; there is no Android or web version.
- Pro's price is not shown on the pages we could read, so no plan prices are listed.
