# OpenHabitTracker

> Open-source tracker for habits, tasks and notes on every platform

OpenHabitTracker is a free, open-source app that combines Markdown notes, tasks and habits, built as a personal project by Urban Dzindzinovic. Instead of leading with a streak counter, it shows how overdue each habit is as a percentage of its repeat interval, so a missed day raises urgency without resetting anything. It runs on the web, Windows, Linux, Android, iOS and macOS with no account, and syncs only through a Docker server you host yourself.

## Key features

- **Overdue ratio instead of streaks:** The time since a habit was last done is compared with its repeat interval: a 10-day habit that is 2 days overdue reads 120%. Classic streaks can be switched on.
- **Flexible habit rules:** A habit sets how many times and how often per day, week, month or year, and is measured in repetitions, time spent or a quantity. Each has a timer, checklist and calendar.
- **Notes and tasks alongside habits:** Markdown notes are rendered in the list, and tasks carry a planned date and time, a duration, a checklist and a timer. Categories and priorities apply to all three.
- **Search, filter and sort:** Lists can be narrowed by text, date, category, priority and status, habits can be filtered by how overdue they are, and there are eleven sort keys.
- **Statistics and charts:** Weekly statistics sit beside each list, and every habit has charts for progress toward its target, history by day to year, its ten longest streaks and weekday frequency.
- **Self-hosted sync and file formats:** Devices sync through a Docker image run on your own server. Data imports and exports as JSON, YAML, TSV and Markdown, and Google Keep notes can be imported.

## Good for

- People who want notes, tasks and habits in one free app
- Habits on loose intervals, where an overdue figure beats a streak
- Self-hosters who want sync on their own Docker server
- Using the same tracker on Windows, Linux, macOS and phones

## Worth knowing

- Syncing devices needs a Docker server that you host yourself. The vendor's own web app saves data on the device and has no online sync.
- The Docker image is described as a server app for one user.
- On Linux and in the web app, notifications arrive only while the app is open.
- It is a personal project by a single developer, with feedback handled on Reddit and GitHub.
