A Streaks alternative for Android and every other device

Streaks is one of the best habit trackers on the iPhone. It won an Apple Design Award, it's a one-time purchase, and it ties into Apple Health so a lot of your habits tick themselves off. The catch is in the name of the platforms it runs on: all of them are Apple's. If you've switched to Android, share habits across a Windows laptop, or just want to try something before you pay, you need something else.

Why people look for a Streaks alternative

• There's no Android version. Streaks runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple Vision Pro. "Streaks app for Android" is a common search, and the honest answer is that it doesn't exist.
• Moving between devices. An iPhone at home and a Windows PC at work, or a partner on Android, means Streaks only covers part of your day.
• The 24-task limit. Streaks tracks up to 24 tasks. That's plenty for most people, but not all.
• No way to try it first. It's a paid download with no free tier or trial, so you buy before you see whether it suits you.

What Streaks does well

• Design. It's genuinely lovely to use, and the Apple Design Award is well deserved.
• Apple Health. Steps, running distance, heart rate and more can complete habits automatically, so you don't have to tick them by hand.
• Apple Watch. Complications and widgets let you check off a habit from your wrist.
• Flexible schedules. Daily habits, a number of times a week, or specific days.
• Pay once. $5.99 on the US App Store, no subscription, no upsell.

If you're all-in on Apple and like the automatic Health tracking, Streaks is an easy recommendation. The rest of this page is for everyone else.

Streaks vs Crek

Crek as a Streaks alternative

Crek is a free habit tracker that runs in your browser, so the same habits and streaks follow you from an Android phone to an iPad to a work laptop.

• Works on every device. iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, Chromebook — if it has a browser, it runs Crek. There's nothing to install; you can add it to your home screen from the browser.
• Free, with unlimited habits. No purchase, no subscription, no 24-habit ceiling.
• Streaks that respect your schedule. A habit can repeat every day, on the weekdays you pick, or once a month, and its streak only counts the days it was due — so a rest day never breaks it.
• Fill in days you forgot. Tap a past day on the habit's calendar to mark it, up to a year back.
• Each habit's numbers. Current and best streak, completion rate, and a calendar of every day done.
• A to-do list and notes beside your habits, so everything you mean to do is in one place.
• Try it with no account. The tracker at /habit-tracker works straight away and keeps your habits in the browser. Sign in with Google when you want them on more than one device.

What you give up: Apple Health habits that complete themselves, the Apple Watch app, and reminders (Crek doesn't have them yet). Every habit in Crek is ticked by hand.

Other alternatives worth a look

• Loop Habit Tracker — if you're on Android and want a native app, Loop is free, open source, ad-free, works offline and has reminders and home-screen widgets. It's Android only. See Loop alternatives.
• A printable tracker — the original way to keep a streak: a printable habit tracker and a pen, on any device you like, because it isn't one.

How to switch from Streaks

There's no import from Streaks, so you'll set your habits up again.

1. Write down your tasks and their days from Streaks before you switch phones.
2. Add them to Crek — try them first at /habit-tracker, then sign in to use weekday schedules and to sync across devices.
3. Bring your streak with you. Tap each past day on a habit's calendar to mark it done, up to a year back. For long streaks, it's often enough to fill in the last few weeks.
4. Health-based habits become manual ones. "Walk 10,000 steps" still works — you just tick it yourself when your step count gets there.
