What Habits is
Habits is a daily tracker for creating routines and following progress on iOS and macOS. It supports daily, weekly, counter, timer, and flexible habits, with streaks, trends, milestones, analytics, and weekly insights. Habits can use selected Apple Health metrics—including steps, calories, distance, exercise minutes, sleep, and workouts—to complete goals automatically. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets are available, along with Control Center support. AI Suggestions use Apple Intelligence when available and on-device Smart Tips otherwise. Habits requires no account and saves data locally; optional iCloud Sync uses the private iCloud database linked to the user's Apple ID. Its privacy policy says the app collects, transmits, and sells no personal information, uses no third-party analytics or advertising SDKs, and operates no servers. Health metrics are read on-device, not written to Apple Health. Users can export data as CSV or JSON or reset it in settings. The listing requires iOS 17 or later and also supports iPad, Mac with Apple M1 or later, Apple Vision, and Apple Watch.
