Stride
Read full descriptionHide full description
Nothing worth building happens in a day. Stride is the habit tracker that helps you show up, see your progress, and keep the streak alive — one day at a time. Whether it’s a morning routine, the gym, or drinking more water, Stride makes it simple to stay on track on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. TRACK YOUR HABITS, YOUR WAY Create habits in seconds — from scratch or from a ready-made template — and check off a yes-or-no habit with a single tap. Pick an emoji and a color for each one, and arrange your list to match how your day runs. Not every habit is a simple yes or no. Measurable habits let you set a daily target and a unit, so “Drink Water — 8 glasses” or “Run — 5 km” tracks the amount, not just the checkmark. And not every habit is daily. Choose every day, a set number of times per week, or specific days — Monday, Wednesday, and Friday only, if that’s your gym schedule. Hit a weekly goal on whichever days suit you; that streak counts weeks, not days. STREAKS THAT KEEP YOU GOING Stride counts every streak automatically, so you can watch your momentum build. On a day your habit isn’t scheduled, it’s a rest day — it never breaks your streak. Miss a day? No guilt — just pick back up. Your longest run is saved alongside your current streak, and any streak can be shared as an image. STATISTICS & HEATMAP The Activity Heatmap is a color-coded grid of your last 12 weeks. You also get your current and best streak, your 30-day completion rate, and how you do by weekday. For a habit scheduled on specific days, that rate counts only the days it was actually due. WIDGETS ON IPHONE AND IPAD Widgets in every size: small, medium, and large on the Home Screen (and extra large on iPad), plus circular, inline, and rectangular on the Lock Screen. See today’s progress without opening the app — and from the medium and large widgets, tap a habit to check it off right there. REMINDERS FOR EVERY HABIT Give every habit its own reminder, at exactly the time you want it. Morning meditation at 7 AM, evening journal at 9 PM — Stride nudges you at the right moment, so the habit sticks. Mark it done or snooze it from the notification. SYNC ACROSS YOUR DEVICES Check in on your iPhone, review your stats on your iPad, finish the day on your Mac. With a free Stride account, your data follows you. STRIDE PRO Almost everything in Stride is free: unlimited habits, measurable habits, flexible schedules, widgets, per-habit reminders, the heatmap and statistics, habit templates, streak sharing, data export (CSV or JSON), and cross-device sync. Stride Pro adds three things: • Habit Groups — organize habits into collapsible groups • Advanced Analytics — the Insights card and the 8-week Trend chart • Weekly Review — a look back at how your week went YOUR PRIVACY MATTERS Your habit data is yours. Stride keeps it on your device unless you sign in to sync; when you do, it goes to Stride’s own server and is used only to keep your own devices in step — never sold, never shared for advertising. Stride collects anonymous crash and diagnostic reports to fix bugs; they contain no habit content and are not linked to your identity. START TODAY You don’t need a Monday, a new year, or a fresh start. You need today. Download Stride and check off one habit. PURCHASE & SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION Stride Pro is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewable subscription, or as a one-time Lifetime purchase. The Lifetime purchase is paid once and does not renew. For subscriptions: payment is charged to your Apple ID account on confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before that period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings.

Not everyone wants to carry around high tech devices all day. If you don't wear a smart device or carry your phone all day, your steps often don't get fully counted and tracked over time in the apps that matter most. LittySteps bridges the gap and allows you to take a picture of your current pedometer at the end of each day, or manually enter your steps. You have instant access to step trends and reports that are easily sharable to anyone. You can optionally choose to sync the steps you count in LittySteps to the Apple Health app to accurately track and share across all your apps. No accounts, no smart devices, no data from you stored by us outside of your phone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LittySteps at none against Stride's 3. LittySteps also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
