ToolGPA put this guide together from Table Habit’s own pages, its app-store listings and our grades. Every fact in it is on Table Habit’s page too, where it is kept up to date. Checked Oct 6, 2026.

1. 1

   Best for a free tracker that scores effort, not just streaks

   Table Habit is a free, open-source habit tracker for Android, iOS, macOS, Windows and Linux.

2. 2

   It is free

   Table Habit has no paid plan at all. Everything is free: every feature on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows and Linux, with no ads, no in-app purchases and no account.

3. 3

   It runs on 5 platforms

   Android, iOS, macOS, Windows and Linux.

4. 4

   Habit score

   Each habit earns a score up to 100 from a curve-based algorithm. A Target Days setting fixes the minimum number of days needed to reach the full score.

5. 5

   Positive and negative habits

   A habit has a daily goal and an extra goal. Going over the goal earns bonus points up to a limit, falling short costs less than a miss, and a skipped day costs nothing.

6. 6

   Completion rules

   A habit can be due daily, on any X days per week, on any X days per month, or X times within a rolling window of Y days.

7. 7

   A 3.0 GPA, above 37 of 43

   That is against the other habit trackers we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

8. 8

   Keep it

   Table Habit is free, so making your own would save you nothing.

The things about Table Habit that are easy to miss until they cost you: ways to pay less, settings worth changing and the catches at renewal or when you leave. Each one is from Table Habit’s own pages, linked beside it.

Read on Oct 17, 2026. Read from Table Habit's GitHub README and wiki (the user guide and the WebDAV sync guide) on 17 October 2026. Not tried out: these tips are what its own pages say.

1. 1

   Setting

   Give Table Habit its own Nextcloud app password

   The sync guide says to make a dedicated app password in Nextcloud (Profile, Settings, Security) and enter your server as your-server/remote.php/dav/files/your-user. That goes in Settings, Sync Options, Sync Server. Then tap the refresh button by Sync Now.

   github.com
2. 2

   Setting

   On Koofr, sync into a folder of your own, not the root

   The guide says not to point Table Habit at Koofr's root directory. Make a folder and use an address like app.koofr.net/dav/Koofr/your-folder-name/ with a Koofr application password. If you hit error 429, Koofr's own WebDAV help covers it.

   github.com
3. 3

   Easy to miss

   A blank day counts as a miss, so mark days off as skipped

   The user guide says a day you haven't checked in scores the same as not done. A skip costs nothing. So if you're ill or away, mark those days skipped rather than leaving them empty, or your score drops for no good reason.

   github.com
4. 4

   Shortcut

   Long-press to check in a batch of habits at once

   Long-press a habit to enter Selection Mode, pick the others, then tap the button at the bottom right for Batch Check-in. Pick the date with the arrows, set skipped, done, over-done or not done, and save.

   github.com
5. 5

   Easy to miss

   Fix past days from the heatmap, not the main table

   Open a habit and tap the button at the bottom right for Heatmap Check-in mode. You can change any day's status there by tapping or long-pressing it, which is quicker than hunting back through the main table.

   github.com
6. 6

   Leaving

   A JSON export is a copy, not a sync

   You can export selected habits as JSON from Selection Mode and import them in Settings. The user guide warns that imported habits come in as new habits, so it isn't a way to keep two devices in step. WebDAV sync is.

   github.com
7. 7

   Easy to miss

   Deleting a group keeps the habits that were in it

   Turn grouping on from the main menu (the three dots) and manage groups in Settings, Groups. Deleting a group doesn't delete its habits, they just move to Uncategorized. In Selection Mode you can move a bunch of habits to another group in one go.

Habit score

Each habit earns a score up to 100 from a curve-based algorithm. A Target Days setting fixes the minimum number of days needed to reach the full score.

Positive and negative habits

A habit has a daily goal and an extra goal. Going over the goal earns bonus points up to a limit, falling short costs less than a miss, and a skipped day costs nothing.

Completion rules

A habit can be due daily, on any X days per week, on any X days per month, or X times within a rolling window of Y days.

WebDAV sync

Devices sync through a WebDAV server such as Nextcloud, Koofr or one you host yourself, so no vendor account or vendor cloud is involved.

Heatmaps and growth charts

A habit's detail page has a check-in heatmap, a bar chart of check-ins and a score graph that can be grouped by day, week, month or year.

Groups, import and export

Habits can be grouped, colored, reordered by dragging and checked in as a batch. Data exports and imports as JSON, and Loop Habit Tracker data can be imported from CSV.

Table Habit's GPA of 3.0 is higher than 37 of the 43 other habit trackers we grade, and level with 4.

It stands best on free plan and trial (A, above 34 of 43) and worst on features (C, above 0).

Table Habit has no paid plan.

On features, ease of use and platforms it scores 2.3 out of 4, and no tool on the category's chart scores higher without costing more.
