Your life is dictated by your daily habits. These habits can be good or bad, but determine how, when, and why you accomplish or do tasks. Be it brushing your teeth, going to the gym, eating unhealthy food, or even smoking and drinking. Keeping yourself accountable of your daily habits can skyrocket your success in different areas of your life.
Planning your goals is step one, but consistently crushing the routine tasks required to accomplish your goals is the hardest part. I have personally been found slacking on my gym routine and budgeting and realized I need to find some apps that could help me understand my good and bad habits.
I downloaded 3 of the most popular free habit tracking apps and used them for 2 weeks to see which one is the best for your habit-tracking needs!
Top Habit-Tracking Apps of 2023
1. Way of Life
Way of Life is a clean, intuitive, and simple habit-tracking app that allows you to track good and bad habits. You can make your own daily, monthly, and annual goals to keep yourself accountable. Its reporting style is one-of-a-kind with easy to read bar graphs and pie charts to see you weekly green and red progress.
This app reminds you to do your habits and you can make notes to yourself based on your habits. Out of all the apps I used, this one is the easiest and the best one for tracking your good and bad habits. I feel like most people are not only looking to build good habits, but abolish bad ones. Way of Life is the only app of its kind that helps you track your bad habits!
On top of its features, Way of Life only has a 13.99CAD$ fee to unlock the ability to track more than 3 habits. Most of the other apps are subscription based, and honestly don’t bring the value and intuitiveness that this one does.
2. Productive
Productive is another great app that tracks your daily habits. This app is best for creating your own plan of upscaling your life. There is a plethora of top habits that people track, but you can make your own! Its statistics and graphs is one of a kind and shows pie charts, line graphs, and % completion of productive habits.
You can set daily, monthly, and annual goals compared to other apps that can only track daily goals. This gives Productive a cutting edge against other handy habit tracking apps.
Another fantastic opportunity for this app is its challenge mode that has built-in challenge goals that set you towards the right path of good habits! You can also track your habits using widgets which is great to keep you from remembering to track your habits. The only downside is that it is subscription based, and quite expensive compared to Way of Life.
3. Habit Rabbit: Task Tracker
Habit Rabbit is a task and habit tracking app that allows
you to have your own tamagotchi-like rabbit!
You can add daily and weekly, and monthly tasks
that need to be completed. Completing tasks will earn you coins which can then
be used to clean up your room, or design your garden using carrots and energy
gained from completing your tasks!
This app provides the same kinds of functionality
as the other apps, but has a little companion that you can name! Overall, this
app is great and doesn’t have a subscription or lump sum payment.
Although, it does offer in-store purchases of carrots. Purchasing carrots
defeats the purpose and design of this app since you earn carrots from
completing tasks, so they are ultimately not required for your habit tracking
needs!
