Habit tracker with a calendar, streak counter and success rate per habit; five habits free, more with Premium.
Opens the official store page
Each habit in HabitBull gets a calendar of its own, a streak counter and a success percentage, and the app asks for a daily check-in. It tracks yes/no habits and numeric ones alike, so pages read, push-ups, glasses of water and hours of sleep all fit, and it works just as well for things to cut down on, like smoking or late-night scrolling. Schedules are flexible: every day, three times a week, weekdays only, or every second day. Several reminders can be set for each habit, with sound and vibration as options. Charts plot success rates, streaks and the values entered, notes can be attached to any day, and a PIN lock keeps the app private. It runs on iPhone and iPad. The free version tracks up to five habits. HabitBull Premium adds unlimited habits, cloud backup and sync, CSV export and widgets, sold either as a subscription (monthly or yearly) or as a one-off lifetime purchase.
A calendar, a streak count and a success percentage: every habit in HabitBull carries all three, and the app expects a daily check-in. Yes-or-no and numeric habits sit side by side, so push-ups and hours of sleep both work, as do things to reduce, like smoking.
Schedules flex between daily, weekdays only or alternate days. Multiple reminders per habit with sound and vibration, charts of success rates and values, notes on any day and a PIN lock make up the rest. Five habits are free; Premium removes the cap and adds backup, sync, CSV export and widgets, paid monthly, yearly or once for life.
Each evening you open the day's row and mark each habit done, missed or with a number. The calendar fills in, the streak ticks, and the percentage updates. Reminders during the day keep the check-in from slipping to tomorrow.
The charts are where numeric habits earn their place: sleep hours plotted over a month tell you more than a streak does. Notes explain the outliers. Five habits is a real constraint on the free tier, so the choice of what to track matters.
People searching for a calendar-style habit tracker, or one that handles numbers as well as ticks, find HabitBull. The lifetime purchase option is a specific draw for those who refuse subscriptions, and the CSV export attracts people who want their data out. The vice-tracking angle, smoking and scrolling included, brings its own searchers.
Five screenshots are listed, and per-habit calendars with filled squares are the probable centrepiece, alongside a chart and the reminder settings. The approach is data-first, so expect grids and graphs rather than illustration, in line with the Productivity category. The input doesn't specify colours or theme options.
Version 1.5.2 is a low number, which for an iOS build may simply reflect a separate versioning line; the listing doesn't say. The 4.7 rating comes from roughly a thousand reviews, a modest base. AppForge Inc. is the developer. Only the App Store is linked, so cross-platform sync can't be confirmed from this page.
Numeric habit charts
Sleep hours, push-ups and pages read get plotted, not just ticked.
Lifetime-purchase holdouts
Premium can be bought once rather than rented monthly.
Cutting down on vices
Smoking or late-night scrolling can be tracked as habits to reduce.
Rated 12+, which is higher than most trackers and may relate to the smoking and vice-tracking examples. Free to download with five habits; Premium is sold by the month, by the year or as a single lifetime purchase, prices not given. Premium is needed for cloud backup, sync, CSV export and widgets.
No account appears to be required on the free tier, since backup is a paid feature. It works offline. Runs on iPhone and iPad. Ads, storage and regional limits aren't covered.
Our take
Pick it if you track numbers, want a calendar per habit and prefer paying once rather than monthly. Five free habits will test whether the format suits you. If you need widgets or backup without paying, or want Apple Health to log things for you, Grit or Habitify do that better.
