The apps
1. Goal4
Goal4 Our Pick
Goal4 gives each habit a daily, weekly or monthly goal. You log progress with a tap, or with plus and minus buttons when the goal is a number, and the progress bar updates right away. Streak tracking warns you before a streak breaks, not after. Your history shows as a contribution grid in 5 layouts (compact, weekly, monthly, expanded and editorial), plus a monthly calendar with a bar chart of daily progress. You can backdate or edit any past day from the calendar, and each habit gets its own stats: total count, completion rate, current streak and best day.
You set reminders per habit, at any time of day. Quiet days mute them on the days you choose. That is all quiet days do: Goal4 has no streak freezes or skip days. Home screen widgets on iOS arrived in March 2026 and notes on habits in June 2026. You can also share any habit as an image card with its stats. There are 16 themes and 39 languages. Goal4 runs on iPhone, iPad and Android. It has no Apple Watch app, no Mac app, no Apple Health or Health Connect link and no friends features.
It needs no account, works offline and keeps your habits on the device. Its App Store privacy label declares no data used to track you. Under Data Not Linked to You, it lists Identifiers, Usage Data and Diagnostics for Analytics, and Purchases, Identifiers and Diagnostics for App Functionality. There are no third-party ads; the free edition shows a card for our other apps, which Pro hides. Goal4 has been on the App Store since 2025, was updated in October 2026 and has one App Store rating so far.
