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. - You could make: Habit tracking, goals, reports and daily notes: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: A real app for iOS. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: Hooks into the device itself: an Apple Watch app, widgets, Shortcuts and the lock screen.
