The 5 Simplest Free Habit Tracker Apps to Meet Your Resolutions
Reading Time: 5 minutesThese free habit tracker apps make it really easy to measure how you cope with your new goals by keeping things as simple as possible.
Any resolution to build better habits or quit bad habits is hard enough in the first place. Tracking your progress should be as simple as possible. These free habit tracker apps make it really easy to measure how you cope with your new goals.
With simplicnbsity as the core focus of these apps, they do lack the extra features you’ll find in some of the most popular habit trackers. For example, you won’t get detailed statistics about your logs, or you won’t be able to share and track habits with friends. But those are worthwhile sacrifices when you want a simple and efficient personal habit tracker.
1. DailyHabits.xyz (Web): Simplest Habit Tracker for Streaks or Flexible Goals
The internet’s favorite daily habit tracker is Everyday, but the free version only lets you add three goals. DailyHabits includes most of Everyday’s features, and is completely free forever. Plus, it isn’t only about creating unbroken chains or streaks of success, and can be used for flexible goals.
When you create a new habit in DailyHabits, you need to set how many days of a month you want to do that activity. Your dashboard shows all your habits as well as the entire month’s calendar. Keep checking off days when you achieve your target. In the last column, DailyHabits will show the total goal days and the total achieved days so far.
DailyHabits also includes a journal element. The makers say that adding notes about your habits, whether it’s how you’re feeling or your new achievements or even misses and failures, helps to keep you on track overall. You can add unlimited habits and notes to DailyHabits, and even use it on your phone as the calendar is responsive to fit on mobile screens.
2. Trackers.gg (Web): Dashboard of Card Tiles for Different Habits
Trackers.gg is one of the most straightforward and minimalist habit tracking web apps we’ve come across. It’s completely free too, with no hidden fees, restrictions, or ads. And the responsive design means that you can use it on desktop as well as mobile just as easily.
Once you sign up, you can create as many habit goals as you want, each of which will appear as a card in your dashboard. The card itself is all you need to see and interact with. There are no other statistics or extra features.
Each habit card can be of two types: ticks (to track incremental progress in any task you’re doing) or numbers (to track numbers-based tasks like how many glasses of water you drank today). You can tap the tick or the number on the card to update your progress. A successful session gets logged on the timeline within the card itself. It couldn’t be simpler and easier.
3. Dreamfora (Android, iOS): Guided Habit Tracking Templates to Ensure Success
Let’s say your resolution is to get lean, toned, and healthy. What are the habits you need to inculcate to get to your goal? How often should you exercise, when should you add meditation, and how do you handle hydration? Dreamfora is a habit tracking app that does this heavy lifting for you with premade plans for different common habits.
Each plan has three elements: habit, task, and note. The habit portion adds a few things you’ll need to do regularly and sets the weekly schedule for them. Tasks are to-do items that are not a regular habit but something you need to get done to ensure you stay on track. And notes are advice, helpful links, and motivational words to set you on the path to success.
You can add three dream plans at a time, and Dreamfora discourages you from adding more to your plate before you finish what you’ve started. All of today’s habits from the three dream plans will show up as a common list in the Today tab, so you don’t have to check each dream separately. Just tick the box when you’re done with an activity.
Dreamfora retains activity logs and shows statistics in visual graphs. You can even use the app anonymously without registering for an account. If you do sign up, you’ll be able to share and interact with the community.

4. Youtine (Web): Create Printable Habit Trackers for Multiple Goals
There is something satisfying about taking a pen and crossing off a box in a habit tracker. Comedian Jerry Seinfeld famously said it’s how he maintained the ‘don’t break the chain’ productivity method. If you want to ditch apps, Youtine will create printable habit trackers for multiple types of habits.
Once you sign up, you can create multiple sheets, each with its own habits. Choose the month and year, give it a title and a description, and add habits from the list. Each habit has its own icon. You’ll also have to assign how much time you want to do any habit for, between 5 to 60 minutes. Finally, pick the days of the week you want to do that habit.
The sheet created will show the icon, the time, and the checkboxes for the days of the week that you have chosen. The unchosen days get greyed out. You can simply tick or cross the checkboxes, write in emojis to track your mood on the day you were successful or fill them with different information like the actual time you did the activity.
The free version restricts you to three habits in one sheet. Paid tiers let you add unlimited daily habits, as well as make up custom habits and icons. If you want to stick to a free PDF but don’t want to spend for Youtine, check out some of the best free printables and ebooks to change habits.
5. Loop Habit Tracker (Android): Private, Secure, and Simple
Many of the best habit tracking apps have one issue in common: your personal data is being sent to their servers, and you aren’t in charge. Loop is an open-source and free habit tracker that operates completely locally. All the data is on your phone and never sent to any server. You are also free to export it as a CSV if you wish to.
Simplicity is at the core of Loop’s mission in habit tracking. The main page is a list of all your habits that you want to change, with activity on the last four days. By default, it’s a grey cross, meaning you haven’t done it. But if you stick to your habit, change it by long-tapping it to add a blue tick or input a value such as how many miles you ran.
Loop tracks all data about an activity and presents it in several charts and graphs to visualize your progress over a long time. You’ll find helpful data like your longest streak or which days you most frequently do that activity.
Be sure you check out Loop’s settings for some additional cool elements. For example, you can make reminder notifications from Loop sticky, so that they can’t be swiped away till you finish the task. Or you can add ‘skip days’ to not lose your streak on a rest day for some habit.

Forming New Habits? Allow for Failures
Along with keeping your habit tracking app simple, you’ll hopefully also keep your habit goals simple. People tend to overreach or set unrealistic targets and are too harsh on themselves when they can’t meet them.
In fact, when you’re forming new habits, it’s best to set a mindset that allows for failures. Far too many habit trackers and methods focus on unbroken streaks and uncompromising routines. But if you do mess up, it’s not the end of the world. So allow for that when you’re setting the habit itself, and have a plan for how to pick yourself up and restart in case you stumble.
