Best Habit Tracker Apps for New Year's Resolutions (2027)

Apps for keeping a resolution past the third week of January. Ranked on how little friction it adds to a daily check-in, how fair the pricing model is (one-time, free, or subscription), whether the free tier is genuinely usable, and platform coverage. Pricing is from official app listings and the developers' own pages as of Oct 21, 2026. App store prices vary by region, so treat the US figures as a guide.

Streaks

The best habit app for iPhone users who hate subscriptions. Streaks is a one-time purchase, around US$5-6 on the US App Store (sources disagree by a dollar), with no subscription and Family Sharing for up to six people. It is deliberately minimal: a short grid of habits, Apple Health integration and widgets. The catch is that it is Apple-only, with no Android or web version.

Loop Habit Tracker

The Android pick, and the only truly free option here. Loop is open source under GPLv3, has no ads and no in-app purchases, works offline without an account, and keeps data on the device. It is on Google Play and F-Droid. The habit-strength score, which forgives a missed day instead of resetting your streak, is the feature that makes resolutions survive February.

Habitify

The most polished cross-device option, with pricing that changed in 2026. On April 6 Habitify moved to three tiers: Free (3 habits, one reminder each), Plus (unlimited habits and reminders) and Pro (checklists, automation and health integrations). App Store prices tracked in June 2026 showed Plus at US$29.99 a year and Pro at US$8.99 a month or US$49.99 a year.

TickTick

The right choice if your resolution is really "get organised". TickTick is a to-do app first, but its habit tracker is included on the free plan, so habits sit next to your tasks and calendar. Premium, which most reviews put at about US$35.99 a year (or US$3.99 monthly), unlocks detailed habit statistics. It works on nearly every platform, including web and desktop.

4 pros · 3 cons

Strides

Best for resolutions that are targets rather than daily habits: save US$2,000, read 20 books, run 500 km. Strides tracks habits, goals, averages and projects with pace lines that show whether you are on track. The base app is free, and Strides Plus is US$4.99 a month, US$29.99 a year or a US$79.99 lifetime purchase, per its App Store listing.

Habitica

Turns your habits into a role-playing game: completing tasks levels up your character, and missing dailies costs health. Joining a party with friends adds accountability, since your slip-ups hurt them too. The full app is free, and the optional subscription is US$4.99 a month, US$14.99 for three months, US$29.99 for six months or US$47.99 a year, per the App Store listing.

Finch: Self-Care Pet

For resolutions about mood and self-care, not productivity. You raise a small bird whose adventures grow as you complete gentle goals, journal prompts and breathing exercises. The base app is free; Finch Plus lists around US$69.99 a year at standard price, though the App Store showed discounted annual offers from US$39.99 to US$59.99. Finch also runs a sponsorship programme for people who cannot afford Plus.

4 pros · 3 cons

HabitNow

A good Android middle ground between free Loop and subscription apps. HabitNow combines habits, recurring tasks and a to-do list, and premium is a one-time upgrade rather than a subscription; one Dutch review put it at EUR 5.49. The free tier caps the number of habits (sources say 5 or 7), and premium adds unlimited habits and cloud backups tied to your Google account.

4 pros · 3 cons

Atoms (from Atomic Habits)

The official Atomic Habits app, built around James Clear's ideas: start tiny, focus on identity, and never miss twice. It is free to download with in-app purchases for the Pro subscription. Pricing is the weak spot: one source lists US$9.99 a month or US$69.99 a year, while European reviewers report much higher prices, so check what your store shows before the trial ends.

4 pros · 3 cons

Way of Life

A long-running iPhone habit journal built around marking each day as done or not, which suits people who want a log rather than a game. It is free to download with in-app purchases, and its App Store listing shows a US$29.99 Premium option plus smaller add-ons. We could not confirm whether Premium is billed yearly or once, or how many habits the free version allows, so check before upgrading.
