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."}},
{"@type":"Question","name":"How is Habits different from Streaks?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"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."}},
{"@type":"Question","name":"Is Habits a good Habitica alternative?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"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."}},
{"@type":"Question","name":"Can Habits remind me?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"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."}},
{"@type":"Question","name":"How are streaks counted?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"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."}},
{"@type":"Question","name":"Who can see my habits?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"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."}},
{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I export my habits?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Settings has Download CSV, with every check-in, count and note, ready for any spreadsheet."}}

        <li><h3>Check it off</h3><p>One tap on Today marks it done, and one more undoes it. Your streak, best streak and completion rate update right away.</p></li>

      <ul class="features">
        <li><h3>Streaks that follow your schedule</h3><p>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.</p></li>
        <li><h3>Counted habits</h3><p>8 glasses of water, 10 pages, 30 push-ups. Tap to add one; it counts as done when you reach your goal.</p></li>
        <li><h3>Days without</h3><p>For habits you are quitting. Habits counts the days since your last slip and remembers your best run.</p></li>
        <li><h3>A friend to keep you going</h3><p>Share one habit by link. You both see each other's streak for it, live. Nothing else is shared.</p></li>
        <li><h3>Reminders in your calendar</h3><p>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.</p></li>
        <li><h3>Yours to keep</h3><p>Notes on any day, reorder and archive, a CSV download of everything, and email sign-in when you want your habits on every device.</p></li>
