Way of Life
Color-coded habit tracker for building and breaking habits
What is Way of Life?
Way of Life is a habit tracker for iPhone and Android that the vendor says has been available since 2010. Each day is marked green or red for every habit, which builds chains and feeds charts that show trends over weeks, months and years. It tracks habits to build and habits to break, with notes and reminders, and Premium removes the limit on the number of habits.
Way of Life has a free plan. Paid plans start at $4.99 (lowest Premium in-app purchase; billing basis not shown). See every plan
Good for
- People who want to log many habits in a few taps a day
- Tracking habits to break alongside habits to build
- Spotting long-term trends through charts rather than streaks alone
Worth knowing
- The free version limits the number of habits, and the store listings do not state the limit.
- The App Store lists Premium at $4.99, $14.99 and $29.99 without saying which is monthly, yearly or one-time.
- iOS and Android data formats are not interchangeable; the vendor offers a manual conversion on request.
- Apps are listed for iPhone and Android only; no web or desktop version is listed.
