Description

HabitBoard is a simple and flexible habit tracker for iOS, iPadOS and watchOS. It allows you to track intentional habits and goals, helps you stay on track, informs your decisions, and helps you pay attention to what’s important to you.

Key Features

Personal Habits

If you’re just starting out with one or two habits or already have a long list of things you want to keep track of — HabitBoard imposes no limitations on the types of habits you can track. The Free version allows for tracking of 3 habits, Pro supports unlimited habits.

Historic Data

It provides a detailed calendar-like view of your historic data which grows over time. In addition, you get habit-specific statistics like current and longest streaks, completion rate, and count by week, month, and year.

Statistics

HabitBoard provides meaningful and beautiful stats that give an overview over all your tracked habits. You can inspect your overall weekly and monthly completions, get an overall completion rate, and keep track of your daily completions. Available with HabitBoard Pro.

Weekly Goals and Skipped Days

Some habits are not planned daily and HabitBoard makes it easy to configure automatically skipped days and weekly goals per habit. If you set a weekly goal, you’ll see an additional label for the current progress in the habit list.

Notes

You can add notes to individual days and review them for each habit. This can come handy to, e.g., remember why you marked a day as skipped, to keep track of when you start a new book with your reading habit, or take note when you start a new progression in your exercise habit.

Customizable Colors and Symbols

Each habit can use colors and symbols according to your personal taste or for visual grouping of habits. You can customize both the colors for done and missed habit states. Custom Colors are available with HabitBoard Pro.

Widgets

HabitBoard offers Lock Screen widgets, daily completions widgets, and interactive small, medium, and a large calendar-like and top habits widgets, plus Control Center widgets since iOS 18, so that you can glance on and mark your habits even if you’re not using the app.

Shortcuts

With the “Mark Habit” and “Set Note” Shortcuts actions, you can combine different tasks to automatically keep your HabitBoard up-to-date. You can also search for Habits and HabitPoints in Shortcuts, allowing to build arbitrarily complex queries and to further process the data via Shortcuts actions or external apps.

Archived Habits

Some things also come to an end (or are paused), so HabitBoard offers a dedicated place for archived habits. Habits that live there are still fully interactive, so it can also be used as a more private area for certain habits. Available with HabitBoard Pro.

Configuration of List Labels

Streaks are not always the most meaningful metric — sometimes it’s better to focus more on completions (to get a general understanding of your state of mind or simply to feel less stressed to keep the streak). With HabitBoard, you can decide whether you want to display the current streak, weekly, monthly, and yearly completions in addition to the names in the habit list.

Daily Reminder

When you’re starting out, a daily reminder can be useful. If you want, the app notifies you when it’s time to review your HabitBoard for the day. In addition, with HabitBoard Pro, each habit can have its own reminders. You can choose the time and weekdays where you want to be reminded, customize the notification message, and decide whether to be reminded if you already marked the habit for the day. And you can have multiple reminders per habit.

Automatic Backup and Sync

HabitBoard securely and privately backups and syncs your habits via iCloud. If you’re using a second device, your data is already there. You can export, import, and restore backups. Also in the free version — it’s your data after all.

Support for Apple Watch

If you’re using an Apple Watch, you can track your daily habits from your wrist. The dedicated watch app allows for marking habits directly (which is synced with the paired iPhone) and provides various complications for your watch face to display daily progress.
