Habo
Free, open-source habit tracker with optional encrypted sync
What is Habo?
Habo is a minimalist habit tracker for Android and iPhone, released under the GPL-3.0 license and published by PPDev s.r.o. The core app is free, has no ads, needs no account and works offline. Version 4.0, announced in March 2026, added Habo Sync, a paid add-on for end-to-end encrypted sync and automatic backups across devices, which can also be self-hosted on your own Supabase backend at no charge.
Habo has a free plan. Paid plans start at $1.99 per month, or $9.99 per year, for Habo Sync. See every plan
Good for

Worth knowing
- Phone only: the vendor lists Android and iOS, the App Store listing is marked only for iPhone, and there is no web or desktop app.
- Syncing between devices needs a paid Habo Sync plan or a Supabase backend that you set up and run yourself.
- The terms limit the Lifetime purchase to the Habo Sync feature, for as long as it is offered; future standalone services may cost extra.
- The developer describes Habo as a one-person project supported by community contributors and translators.
Key features
- Quick check-ins
- A day can be logged as a success, a numeric value, missed or skipped, and a skip does not affect the streak. Each check-in can carry a note of up to 400 characters.
- Calendar and statistics
- A monthly calendar shows streaks and completions, and statistics chart streaks, trends and completions over time.
- Habo Sync
- Data is encrypted on the device with a Master Password before upload, so the server holds only ciphertext. Conflicts between devices are resolved by keeping the latest change.
- Self-hosted sync
- The sync backend is open source and runs on your own Supabase project. The app is pointed at it under Settings, and all sync features work without a subscription.
- Privacy and data control
- The app works without an internet connection or account, can be locked with Face ID, Touch ID or a passcode, and offers export and backup of your data.
- Organization and themes
- Habits can be grouped into categories, reordered by drag and drop and archived without losing history. Themes include dark, light, OLED and Material You on Android.
