Break-even analysis
Three months of Habitify costs the same as Streakly does once — your streaks shouldn't have a renewal date.
- After 1 year: Streakly has cost you $15 total — Habitify has cost $60.
- After 3 years: Streakly is still $15 — the subscription is at $180.
- After 5 years: Streakly is still $15 — the subscription is at $300.
What you get for $15 once
- Schedules that match real life. Every day, specific weekdays, or N times per week — with an icon and color per habit.
- Numeric goals. "8 glasses of water", "50 pushups" — increment through the day; only hitting the goal completes it, partial counts still tracked.
- 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.
- Vacation mode. Skip days freeze your streaks instead of killing them.
- GitHub-style heatmaps. A year heatmap per habit plus an all-habits month view with per-day dots.
- No renewal, ever. The license does not expire and there is no per-seat meter — $15 is the whole price.
Pricing questions
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.
Is there a phone app or sync?
No — Streakly is desktop-first with no cloud, which is exactly why it can promise zero network calls. Your entire history is one JSON file; sync it yourself via Dropbox, Drive or Syncthing if you want it on two machines. If phone-first tracking matters most, Habitify is the better fit.
Do reminders work?
Yes — native OS notifications at whatever times you set per habit.
