TinyHabit is a calm habit tracker built around one idea: the number should reflect what you actually did—not what your phone guessed. WHY PEOPLE USE IT • Each habit is a simple daily counter you control with taps (+1, −1, or set a count for any day). • Great for routines you want to grow (walks, reading, water) and for habits you want to watch honestly (snacks, drinks, screen time)—without background monitoring or auto-fill. • Link habits to time-bound goals (“more than” or “less than” a target). See progress, monthly trends, and plain-language predictions so you know if you’re on track. • Today board, calendar & history views, categories, search, reorder, notes, and archive—so nothing disappears when you pause a habit. • Reminders on your schedule: pick days, time, and a short message (no account; notifications are scheduled on-device). PRIVACY FIRST Habits, goals, counts, and notes are stored locally on your device. There is no habit timeline synced to our servers. Optional Pro backup/export is initiated by you. FREE VS TINYHABIT PRO Free: up to 3 active habits, 1 reminder per habit, 1 active goal. Pro: unlimited habits and goals, up to 3 reminders per habit, Home & Lock Screen widgets, full JSON backup/share and import, and per-habit CSV export. Subscriptions are billed by Apple; plans typically include monthly, yearly, and a one-time lifetime option—exact prices appear in the purchase sheet for your region. LANGUAGES English, French, Spanish, Italian, and Russian in the app—pick what fits you in Settings. If you want a tracker that respects your privacy and rewards honest logging, start small with TinyHabit today.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TinyHabit at none against Daybase's 12. TinyHabit also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
