Habit Streak
✓ Habit Streak helps you achieve your goals (or New Year's Resolutions) in exercise, diet or other areas of your life. Each day you report on whether you succeeded yesterday, building up streaks of habits and ingraining the activities into your life. It is perfect for the start of the new year.
"After a few days you'll have a chain. Just keep at it and the chain will grow longer every day. You'll like seeing that chain, especially when you get a few weeks under your belt. Your only job next is to not break the chain" (Jerry Seinfeld)
Habit Streak has two key advances on Jerry Seinfeld's original technique. Firstly it allows you to build several chains up at once. Secondly it (optionally) prompts you every day to report on your success (whereas one could easily forget to update or look at a physical calendar).
✓ Habit Streak is simple, clear, easy to use and free; there are no time limits (though there is a Pro version with additional features and functionality).
✓ If you want To Do list-like functionality see my other app "ToDo Log" which allows for real time recording, repeated and one-off events along with graphs of your past performance. For less than daily tasks check out "Task:Life", for a different approach, based around the idea of what proportion of days you do something.

The reminder alarm doesn't work anymore. I would also like to be able to change the time to check it off depending on the habit. For example, if I'm trying to remember to do something in the morning, I want to be able to check it off later that same day, not the next day.
almost useful but you can't put in things for past dates. not remembering to use the app shouldn't break a steak.
Couldn't find that desktop widget that is advertised on the screenshot.
Good, but community is very Christian cultist like. Get ready for one verse after another, and people thanking God for this and that.
Easy to use. You can put in any habit you want. I recommend.
Fantastic! One question: I want to get a pro version now...should I go for Tasklife or Habit Streak? Thanks!
Great and simple
I suppose it works, but I found it's checking system unintuitive. Also, the data display is not the best visually, which is the whole reason for setting up a 'chain'. There are other apps that do it better, or you can always use a good old paper copy - probably superior to this one.
I like the analysis features, but a widget would be great - something sleek and minimalistic that allows you to check mark if you've done your habit for the day and shows your current streak. Also, a calendar showing success and/or fail days would be nice! Finally, the option to edit how often you'd like to complete the habit per week or month for it to be considered a success. Other than that, it's perfect.
It only allows you to enter 4 habits at a time which is rubbish when you consider only dieting exercising habits are at least 5-6 per person. If you need to enter thr 5th and more you have to upgrade to pro version. You also have to manually enter your streaks and the app don't do that for you. Good idea (of Seinfeld) yet poor execution for the app.
The concept is awesome but there's some tweakages. For example, imputing a habit is difficult because the pull up menu from my keyboard pushes up the screen, so I can't see what I'm typing, and I keep having to go back and forth. I also think that you should be able to check off an item day of, instead of the day after. Just makes more sense.
I like that you can customize the prompt question. You should be able to set the reminder for anytime not just on the hour. The red theme is really hard in the eyes, customizable colors should be available.
App uses your phone calendar to create reminders instead of sending push notifications. I dont like my cal being full of my habits, that's why I searched for a habit app in the first place.
Crashes after I correct a habit. Also, don't really like the question part of it.
Great app compared to other habit apps,only one thing ,the ui can be improved,. The red hurts the eye.
Deleted all of my data/streak progress after the update.
Would be nice if you can set random alarms for different habits/goals instead for all of them at once.
I don't like the way it asks if I have completed the task today, I find it a bit invasive and annoying, I prefer calendar format.
(1) There are many good things about this app. It has tons of potential. I just don't understand it. What do the numbers mean? What is "days"? Why is it green? What is 5/8? There was a small explanation when I installed the app but I forgot. (2) I'd like to see things made a lot more clear and... fun. (3) I bought two of this developer's apps but now searching for another habit app.
This is a great app for forming new habits which will ultimately change your life for the better. It's very simple to use and really motivates you to always make daily improvements
Not having the ability to add a Mon-Fri only option is disappointing. How could such a simple and obvious option not be included?
It's a neat a app with cool design. I just bought the paid version.
Disappointed it's limited to 4 habits in the free version
Useful but limited! Limited to Dropbox ... Why no Google Drive? How about integration with Task Trackers like Tasks (Astrid replacement), GTask, etc. If I check off a task in one app, I'd like automatic update in Habit Streak.
I pay I paid for the full version but reminders donot work and no forum or place to report the bug
Should let users know about limit before download!!!
But a very impressive app
It's just simple and clean, a very useful tool. Thank you!
Works as simply as I wanted it to. I didn't want anything over the top - I get tired of so many flashy bell and whistle apps - and this one is a good one. Gets the job done without taking up a bunch of storage. I've changed phones twice while using this app and haven't lost any of my history! Thank you, developer, for allowing that even in the free version!
