The report card
Best for habits with widgets and Apple Health
HabitPal tracks habits with streaks and heatmaps, can tick off steps and sleep from Apple Health, and works without an account. The free version caps how many habits you get, and the Pro purchases run from $2.99 to $39.99 with no billing periods stated.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Unlimited Access is listed from $2.99 to $39.99 with no word on which is monthly, yearly or lifetime, so it lands in the middle. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Free to start without an account, but the number of habits is limited. |
| Features | B | Streaks, heatmaps, completion rates, Apple Health habits, widgets, Shortcuts, friends and bad-habit tracking, with nothing in the listing showing a gap in the core job. |
| Ease of use | B | No verified store rating on record, the site's own 4.8 is the maker's claim. No account needed, so you open it and start. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | iPhone, Mac and Android, with Apple Health, Shortcuts and Watch widgets. Sync described is iCloud only. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who HabitPal is for
- Fits if you want habits on the Home Screen and Lock Screen
- Works for people who want to track without making an account

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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 HabitPal for yourself: habit tracking, goals and reports. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call.
What you could make
- Habit tracking, goals and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Apps for macOS, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- Hooks into the device itself: an Apple Watch app, widgets, Siri and Shortcuts.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. HabitPal’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.
