Apple's platforms are Grit's home turf: it runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac as well as Apple Watch and Apple Vision Pro, with iCloud keeping them all in step. It's for someone who wants streaks, reminders and stats without a social layer attached. Habits can pull data from Apple Health, so a walk or a workout logs itself. Reminders are adjustable, widgets show progress on the home screen, and a built-in timer handles habits measured in minutes. Related habits can be grouped, Siri Shortcuts allow custom voice commands, and milestones are marked with achievements as a streak builds. Dark mode and colour options round it out. The free tier tracks three habits. Grit Premium, a paid upgrade, removes the limit and opens up full statistics.
People fully inside Apple's ecosystem are who Grit is for. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Watch and Vision Pro, with iCloud keeping every device current, and skips the social features many rivals bolt on. Streaks, reminders and statistics are the core, delivered without friends or leaderboards.
Apple Health integration lets a workout or walk tick itself off. Widgets put progress on the home screen, a timer handles habits measured in minutes, Siri Shortcuts allow voice logging, and achievements mark milestones. The free tier covers three habits; Grit Premium lifts the cap and opens full statistics.
Mornings, a glance at the widget shows what's due. The run you did logs itself from Apple Health; meditation runs on the built-in timer; a Siri command marks the vitamins. Grouped habits keep the morning routine together.
On the Mac, the same data appears without a sync step. Streaks build, achievements pop, and the statistics show which habits are fragile. With three free habits, most people will decide within a fortnight whether to pay for Premium or keep the list short.
The Apple-everything angle brings in users with a Watch and a Mac who want one tracker on all of them, including the Vision Pro, which few apps bother with. Searches for a habit tracker without a social layer also land here. Apple Health auto-logging is the feature people specifically ask about.
Five screenshots are listed, which for a multi-platform app may include Watch or Mac views alongside the phone. Expect a native Apple feel: system fonts, dark mode, colour-coded habits, and widgets styled to match iOS. The input confirms dark mode and colour options but nothing about overall layout.
A 4.8 rating from over 10,000 reviews is strong for a tracker from a small developer, GrittyApps. Version 6.1.0 indicates six major iterations, which is a reasonable sign of ongoing work. Only the App Store is linked, and given the Apple-only platform list, that's expected rather than a gap.
All-Apple-device syncing
iPhone, iPad, Mac, Watch and Vision Pro stay in step through iCloud.
Auto-logged workouts
Apple Health data ticks off exercise habits without opening the app.
Social-free streak building
There are no friends, feeds or leaderboards, just your own record.
Rated 4+ and free to download, with three habits included. Grit Premium is a paid upgrade for unlimited habits and full statistics; the listing doesn't say whether it's a subscription or one-time purchase, or the price.
An Apple ID is effectively required for iCloud sync. Apple Health access is optional. The app should work offline with sync catching up. Ads, storage and regional limits aren't covered.
Our take
Buy into it if you own several Apple devices and want habits logged from Health without touching the app. The three-habit free tier is enough to judge. Android users and anyone who wants accountability from friends should skip it, and people with more than three habits should expect to pay.
