What's New in Habit Star

2.2.0

September 17, 2026

Habit Star has been rebuilt from the ground up. If you are coming from 1.20, this is three releases of work arriving at once. RECORD MORE THAN A CHECKMARK Add fields to a habit — minutes, reps, weight, how it felt — and set a target so you can see how often you hit it. Every note and value you write is collected in a journal you can search, by the words you used or by what you meant. READ YOUR OWN HISTORY A calendar of the month with every day green, amber or red. A timeline where a run of days draws as one unbroken line. Trends for what is slipping, consistency by week, and the days you tend to skip. ON YOUR WRIST An Apple Watch app: today's habits as a list you can check off, and complications for the watch face. Part of Pro. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN, AND BY VOICE Three widgets: a list you can check habits off from without opening the app, a progress ring, and your run of perfect days. The ring and the streak work on the lock screen too. Or just say "Hey Siri, mark meditation done in Habit Star". APPLE HEALTH Link a habit to steps, exercise or mindful minutes and let it check itself off. Read-only, opt-in per habit, and it only ever adds — a quiet day in Health never removes a completion. ON NEWER IPHONES Describe a habit in a sentence and the form fills itself in. Write "ran 5k in 28 min" as a note and the numbers land on the habit's fields. Apple's own model runs on the phone itself, so nothing is sent anywhere. Needs iOS 26 on an iPhone 15 Pro or later, and Pro. YOUR DATA IS YOURS Export a full backup whenever you like and restore it on a new phone. Restore is offered on the very first screen, so reinstalling no longer means starting over. THEMES Thirty-four in all. Eleven of them are light themes that draw in dark ink instead of white, so a pale theme is finally readable. Pick a dark one and a light one and the app follows your phone. HABIT STAR PRO A one-time unlock for the parts that read your history back to you. Not a subscription. Plus faster start-up, iPad layouts, a color per habit, drag straight into place, and a great many fixes.

Best habit tracker out there

My life’s a mess and habit star is helping to make me stay organized. It’s flexibility is what sets it a part. Instead of being lazy and chaotic I’m now lazy and organized. No, but seriously, it’s helping me to get things done that I’d typically procrastinate on or forget entirely. +1 habit star

That's so great to hear! Your honesty is commendable; at the end of the day if you are getting things done and Habit Star is helping then we have achieved our goal! Keep it up and hope to continue to provide more value as we work hard to deliver more features. 💯 🙌

Love it!

I love this app! As soon as I opened it, I felt like it was made for me. I like this habit tracking app better than the others because of how personalized I can make it. I can create virtually any habit I want, set a time to get a little reminder, change screen options and start building up all my good habits. The ability to earn stars and build up many days in a row makes it fun too!
