Habistat

Build habits. Track progress. Achieve goals.

🌐 Open-Source | 🔄 Cross-Platform | 🎯 Semi-Gamified

Habistat is a free and open-source habit tracker focused on privacy and simplicity. It helps you build good habits, break bad ones, and track daily activity, with your data fully under your control. Features include time-based habit tracking and optional gamification: streaks, points, and a virtual garden that grows – ideally, like you. 🌱

An alternative to apps like Everyday, Habitify, and Habitica, it is built with the lightweight Tauri framework and runs smoothly on Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and in any modern browser.

Why Habistat?

Tired of bloated apps and shaky privacy policies? Habistat keeps it simple. Inspired by "Don't Break the Chain," it turns habit tracking into a daily checkmark ritual. Each completed habit advances your streak, grows a virtual plant, and earns points.
