Why SimpleStreaks beats bloated habit trackers
One-tap check-ins
Open the app, tap the habit, close the app. Logging takes under two seconds and that's the point.
Streaks that actually motivate
The chain is the mechanic. Don't break it. Seeing the number grow is the only gamification you need.
Unlimited habits, free
Track one habit or thirty. No paywall at habit number four. No "pro tier". Just the full app, no strings.
Clean, minimal design
No dashboards you don't need. No coaching screens. No pushy notifications. A simple habit tracker that respects your time.
Works offline
No account required, no forced sign-up, no "connect your calendar". Your streak lives on your phone.
Made by a solo dev
Built by one person, shipped without a team, maintained because the creator uses it every day. That's it.
A clean alternative to Forest, Fabulous, and Habitica
If you're looking for a Forest app alternative that doesn't guilt-trip you with dying trees, SimpleStreaks is the simplest way to track daily habits on iPhone. If you bounced off Fabulous because the coaching screens felt like a sermon, SimpleStreaks will feel like fresh air — there are no coaches, just habits and streaks. And if Habitica's RPG mechanics exhausted you, SimpleStreaks is the other end of the spectrum: zero gamification layers, just the chain.
Most habit trackers lose the plot chasing a subscription model. SimpleStreaks doesn't have one. It was built because the creator needed a simple habit tracker and every option on the App Store had already pivoted into a "wellness platform". You don't need a wellness platform. You need a checkbox and a number.
