Streakly for Freelancers: The desktop habit tracker you buy once

The desktop habit tracker you buy once — streaks, heatmaps and schedules that match real life.

Freelancers expense a dozen subscriptions — proposals, contracts, invoices, time tracking — against irregular income. Owning the tools outright removes a whole line of fixed costs.

The tool this job usually means renting is Habitify, at $5/mo — roughly $60 a year, every year. Streakly does the job for a one-time $15 — running locally on your own machine.

Why it fits how freelancers work

🗓️ Schedules that match real life

Every day, specific weekdays, or N times per week — with an icon and color per habit.

For freelancers, schedules that match real life pays off between gigs, against irregular income — and it's covered by the same one-time $15, not metered per month.

🔢 Numeric goals

"8 glasses of water", "50 pushups" — increment through the day; only hitting the goal completes it, partial counts still tracked.

For freelancers, numeric goals pays off between gigs, against irregular income — and it's covered by the same one-time $15, not metered per month.

🔥 A streak engine that's fair

Weekday-only habits survive the weekend, N-per-week habits count weekly quotas, and today doesn't break your streak just because it isn't done yet.

FAQ

Freelancers ask

Is Streakly worth it for freelancers?

Three months of Habitify costs the same as Streakly does once — your streaks shouldn't have a renewal date. Streakly costs $15 once; Habitify charges $5/mo — about $60 a year. For freelancers, that fixed cost is the whole point: the tool is a one-time line item, not a monthly one.

Is it really free on GitHub?

Yes — MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/habit-tracker-mvp. $15 buys the packaged Windows installer and updates.

Why is the streak engine "fair"?

Because most trackers punish you for their own bad math. In Streakly, a weekdays-only habit doesn't break over the weekend, an N-per-week habit counts weekly quotas across week boundaries, skip days freeze streaks, and an unfinished today never kills a streak prematurely. The engine is a pure zero-dependency module with its own test suite.
