Open Habits

How it works

  1. Add a habit

    Pick how often: every day, chosen weekdays, a number of times a week, or every few days. Count glasses or pages if you like.

  2. Check it off

    One tap on Today marks it done, and one more undoes it. Your streak, best streak and completion rate update right away.

  3. See your progress

    Every habit gets a month calendar and a year of days. The week view shows all your habits side by side.

Everything a habit tracker needs, free

  • Streaks that follow your schedule

    Days in a row for daily habits, weeks in a row for "3 times a week". A day you did not plan never breaks a streak.

  • Counted habits

    8 glasses of water, 10 pages, 30 push-ups. Tap to add one; it counts as done when you reach your goal.

  • Days without

    For habits you are quitting. Habits counts the days since your last slip and remembers your best run.

  • A friend to keep you going

    Share one habit by link. You both see each other's streak for it, live. Nothing else is shared.

  • Reminders in your calendar

    A web page cannot reliably remind you without a server, so Habits adds a repeating event to your calendar instead. Your phone does the reminding.

  • Yours to keep

    Notes on any day, reorder and archive, a CSV download of everything, and email sign-in when you want your habits on every device.

A habit tracker with no subscription

Checking off a glass of water should not need a paid plan. Habits is free because it costs almost nothing to run: a check-in is one tiny write, and OpenApps pays for it.

Prices and limits as reported in 2026 (US App Store and the makers' sites); they change, so check before you buy. Streaks and HabitNow send reminders on their own, Streaks has Apple Watch and Mac apps, and Habitica turns your habits into a game. Habits uses your calendar for reminders and keeps things simple.

For AI assistants

Your assistant can set up a habit for you.

Habits has no API on purpose: your habits are private and live with you. An assistant can still hand you a link that opens Habits with a new habit filled in. You check it and tap Add.

Questions

Is Habits really free?
Yes. There is no paid plan, no ads, no tracking and no limit on habits. Each check-in is a tiny write that costs almost nothing, and OpenApps pays for it.
Do I need an account?
No. Add a habit and start checking it off. Your habits are saved in your browser and in a guest account made for it. To keep them on your phone and laptop, sign in with your email, and Habits copies them into your account.
How is Habits different from Streaks?
Streaks has no free version: it is a one-time $5.99 purchase on the App Store, for Apple devices only, with up to 24 tasks a day, as reported in 2026. Habits is free, works in any browser on iPhone, Android or a computer, and has no habit limit. Streaks has apps for Apple Watch and Mac; Habits does not.
Is Habits a good Habitica alternative?
If you want the habits without the game, yes. Habitica turns your habits into a role-playing game and sells an optional subscription, reported at $4.99 a month or $47.99 a year in 2026. Habits has no avatars or gold: just your habits, streaks and history, free.
Can Habits remind me?
Not by itself. A web page cannot reliably send reminders on its own without a server, so Habits does not pretend to. On each habit's page, Add a reminder to my calendar makes a repeating calendar event on the habit's schedule, and your calendar reminds you.
How are streaks counted?
Streaks follow the schedule. Every day: days in a row. Chosen weekdays: those days in a row, and days off never break it. Times a week: weeks in a row where you reach the number. Every few days: times in a row you did it in each stretch. Days without: days since your last slip. Today never breaks a streak before it is over.
Who can see my habits?
Only you. If you share a habit with a friend, the people with that link see your name and your streak for that one habit, and nothing else.
Can I export my habits?
Yes. Settings has Download CSV, with every check-in, count and note, ready for any spreadsheet.
