> Streak-based habit tracker for iPhone, iPad and Android

## Ways to pay less

- **Lifetime Premium for $39.99** (Lifetime license): The App Store listing sells Premium as a one-time lifetime purchase alongside the monthly and yearly subscriptions. Source: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/habitbull-habit-tracker/id1041482672

## Key features

- **Streaks and success rate:** Every habit shows a streak counter and a success percentage, with a calendar per habit.
- **Flexible goals:** Goals can be yes/no or a number, scheduled per day, week or month, on certain weekdays, or every few days.
- **Reminders:** Several reminders per habit, at any time of day, with optional sound and vibration.
- **Charts and notes:** Daily, weekly and monthly views with charts of success rate, streaks and entered values, plus a note for any day.
- **Sync and export:** Premium adds cloud backup, sync between phones and tablets, and CSV export.
- **PIN lock:** The App Store listing lists a PIN lock for the app.

## Good for

- People who want streak counting with schedules like three times a week
- Tracking numbers (pages read, push-ups) as well as yes/no habits
- Anyone who wants to start free with a handful of habits

## Worth knowing

- The free version stops at 5 habits; unlimited habits, sync and CSV export need Premium.
- Runs on iPhone, iPad and Android; the vendor lists no web or desktop version.
- Premium status is tied to a HabitBull account, so an account is needed to keep it across devices, per the Android FAQ.
- One App Store reviewer reports ads in the free version; the listing itself does not mention ads.

## Keep it, 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 HabitBull for yourself: habit tracking and goals. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $47.88 a year.

- You could make: Habit tracking and goals: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
