10 Habits Apps to Track Your Progress

Habits – How Many Will You Hold On To and How Many Will You Change?

According to productiveandfree.com, nearly forty percent of everything we do each day is habitual. I hope I have more good habits than bad ones, but I think now in this fifth blog of the series, it’s time to explore our habits and the apps which may provide some help for all of us.

There are a huge number of apps for us to choose from today. We ask, “Is there an app to help me develop good habits or shrug off the bad?” No, there isn’t just one app; there are many apps to help us with habits.

1. Habit Bull

Habit Bull can help you “Easily break bad habits like smoking, drinking or nail-biting, or build positive habits like fitness, meditation or reading.” Jared Levenson tells us it takes 66 days to build a new habit. What better way to ensure success than utilizing an app created to track you for 66 days or more?

This is a free, flexible reminder program that lets you develop good habits. Habits require repetition. Habit Bull provides a reminder to keep you on track to develop the habit of your choice. Why leave things to chance when you can trigger a reminder to help you create a brighter future?

If you want to walk for three days during the week, Habit Bull lets you set reminders on selected days. If you want to meditate for half an hour each day, you can record your accomplishments in minutes rather than through Yes/No answers.

The app creates trends and graphs while it tracks your process to create that new healthy habit.
Habit Bull reminds you it takes 66 days to create a habit and gives you a progress bar. “Easily break bad habits like smoking, drinking or nail-biting, or build positive habits like fitness, meditation or reading.”

Habit Bull has over seven thousand reviews with an average of 5 Stars.

2. Productive – Habit Tracker

Productive was created for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch application only. The Productive app separates new habit creation into three categories:

  • Morning
  • Evening
  • Or the most convenient time for you.

This app is highly selective in showing the preferred time chosen. It shows the AM reminders before noon only and the PM reminders during the afternoon hours only. They designed the app to force the user into incorporating new habits into their daily schedule as opposed to saving up or getting it over with early.in the day.

3. Habitica

Habitica is a free app for the iPhone, Android, or web. It takes good habits and converts them into something fun, like a video game you can play with friends. You can earn badges and battle monsters and hold each other accountable. If either of you cannot complete the reminder, you’re both penalized.

Habitica is available on Google Play and the Apple App Store.

Input your Habits, your Daily goals, and your To-Do list, and then create a custom avatar. Check off tasks to level up your avatar and unlock features such as armor, pets, skills, and even quests!

Habitica scores 4.1 Stars out of 1.3K Ratings.

4. Strides

Strides is another goal and habit tracker. If you’re after a significant goal like losing weight or saving money reading many books about the subject, then you should look at Strides. This app looks at the total time to complete any task and breaks it down into milestones that are measurable and trackable. It creates your choice of weekly/monthly goals to keep you on track.

Imagine having all of your most important habits, routines, and goals together in one simple to-do list. Now you can. If you want to do something a certain number of times, Strides lets you set quantity goals. For instance, you can set a goal to do 5 laps around the block each morning or drink 2 liters of water per day.

5. Streaks

Streaks is an app currently for iPhone users only. It’s meant to help you develop fitness goals. The plus of this app is that it hooks in nicely with Apple’s Health app. It tracks steps, measures heart rate, distance, and more. It’s simple, handling only six habits at a time, and has a very easy-to-understand graphics display.

One thing I like about this app is that if you break the chain of developing your new habit, the Streaks App will reset to zero, and you have to begin again. (That’s some powerful incentive.) You can purchase it through the Apple Store and through the Mac Apps Store.

6. Coach Me

The Coach.me app is available for iPhone, Android, and the web. It will coach you through forming athletic habits and training. You can see videos and even contact live coaches for hire. Specialized coaches are ready to give you personal help, advice, and accountability for as little as $25 per week and up. Or you can build a coaching practice by helping others and increase your income at the same time.

We found the actual value of this app in the community and coaching aspects.

This app is also available at the Apple Store and on Google Play.

In Google Play, this one scores 3.5 with 4,758 Ratings.

Habitify is a well-designed app and includes a simple and attractive interface that allows you to focus on what really matters to you. It allows you to set a string of daily routines and provides multiple reminders to help you succeed. Multiple detailed reports will assist you on your journey.

This app ranks Best of Google Play, Editor’s Choice in the App Store, and Android Excellent in Google Play. It’s also available in the Mac App Store.

This app ranks at 4.1 Stars with 1,674 Reviews on Google Play.

8. BeeMinder

If you want to add some incentive to your day, you may wish to choose the BeeMinder app. If you go off track in building your new habits, this app will take your money. Now, that’s an incentive! This one also allows you to track your progress with your Apple Health Data, allowing you to track your steps, distance, and other statistics without manually having to enter them.

You can purchase this one at the Apple Store, but it’s low on reviews. It lets you put real money on the line; if you cannot do a habit, the app will charge your credit card (and the amount they charge will increase each time you fail). There’s a free and a premium version.

BeeMinder rates 3.9 Stars with only 40 reviews.

9. SnapHabit

SnapHabit is another community-oriented app for tracking progress both publicly and privately. This one allows you to post notes and pictures to track your progress.
