The short answer

Pick Streaks if you live on Apple devices and want a polished, pay-once habit tracker with Apple Health tasks that complete themselves and an excellent Apple Watch app. Pick Habitify if you need your habits on Android or the web as well as Apple, or want integrations, an API and automation. The biggest difference is reach: Streaks is Apple-only, Habitify works the same on every platform.

Habitify or Streaks: our take

Streaks is a habit tracker and simple to-do list for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac and Vision Pro. You choose up to 24 tasks, set how often each should happen, and each completion grows its streak, while a miss resets it to zero. Tasks can be positive or negative, timed, or linked to Apple Health so steps, workouts or mindful minutes tick themselves off. It is an Apple Design Award winner and leans on native features such as widgets, Siri and Shortcuts. Habitify runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and the web, syncing across them. Habits can be checked off or measured against goals, grouped by time of day, and paused during holidays or illness. Reminders support habit stacking and location prompts, and it syncs with Apple Health, Google Fit and Apple Calendar, with an API plus Zapier and IFTTT for automation.

The pricing models are different. Streaks is a one-time purchase with no subscription. Habitify's free plan allows 3 habits, enough to try it but not to rely on; Premium costs $2.49/month billed annually, or $59.99 one-time for a lifetime licence. Habitify also offers a team product.

Data and design philosophies differ as well. Streaks syncs through iCloud, and shared tasks with family or friends also stay inside iCloud rather than the developer's servers. Its 24-task limit and streak-first design suit simple routines, though resets can feel harsh for flexible habits. Habitify works the same across platforms and gives more room for goal tracking, but most of its useful features require Premium, and it has fewer journaling or mood features than some rivals.

For an all-Apple user who wants a simple tracker and dislikes subscriptions, Streaks is a natural pick. For anyone with an Android phone, who wants to check habits in a browser, or who wants to connect habits to other tools, Habitify is more flexible.

What is Habitify?

Habitify is a clean habit tracker that runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and the web, with your habits synced across all of them. Habits can be checked off or measured against goals, grouped by time of day, and paused with an off mode during holidays or illness. Advanced reminders include habit stacking and location-based prompts, and it can sync with Apple Health, Google Fit and Apple Calendar so activity data fills in automatically. For power users there is an API and Zapier and IFTTT automation. The free plan is limited to three habits, which is enough to try it but not to rely on it; Premium removes the limit and is sold as an annual subscription or a lifetime purchase. It also offers a team product. Compared with Apple-only rivals, its main draw is working the same way on every platform, while the three-habit cap and subscription will put off some.

What is Streaks?

Streaks is a habit tracker and simple to-do list for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac and Apple Vision Pro. You pick up to 24 tasks, set how often each should happen, and every completion grows its streak; a miss resets it to zero. Tasks can be positive or negative (for habits you want to stop), timed, or linked to Apple Health so steps, workouts or mindful minutes tick themselves off. Sync runs through iCloud, and shared tasks with family or friends also go through iCloud rather than the developer's servers. It won an Apple Design Award and leans heavily on native features: widgets, Siri and Shortcuts, a watch app and dozens of colour themes. It is a one-time purchase with no subscription, which sets it apart from most rivals. The catch is that it is Apple-only, with no Android, Windows or web version, and its deliberately small task limit and streak-first design suit simple routines better than detailed goal tracking.
