Build better habits, one tap at a time. Olive is a calm habit tracker that lives on your phone. Add the things you mean to do, tap once when you do them, and watch a year of history fill in. There is no account to create, no server to trust and nothing between you and the habit itself. Whether you are drinking more water, reading every evening, training three times a week or cutting back on coffee, Olive keeps the whole picture on one screen. Track what matters - Habits to build and habits to quit - A daily target for each one, from a single check to a counter that can go past the goal - Quit habits with a daily allowance, so cutting back counts as much as quitting - Every day, chosen weekdays, a few times a week or a few times a month - Streaks that follow your schedule, so a rest day never breaks one - Current streak, best streak, completion rate and totals for every habit - An icon or emoji and a color of your choice for each habit See a year at a glance - The last year of every habit on its card, one square per day - Grid, week, month, list and compact layouts - Tap any day to log it, past days included - A calendar of every month on the habit's own page - A day editor to fix any day - Drag to reorder, press and hold to edit, archive or delete Stay on track - Reminders at the times you pick, only on the days a habit is due - More than one reminder per habit, for the morning and the evening - A reminder for a habit you already finished stays quiet - Home Screen widgets that log a habit without opening the app - A widget for one habit with its year of history - Lock Screen widgets for a glance at today - Archive a habit when you are done with it, and bring it back with all of its history Understand your progress - Perfect days, completion rate and best streaks over a week, a month, 90 days, a year or any range you pick - How much of each day you finished - Activity by day of the week, so you can see where consistency slips - Every habit ranked, strongest first Make it yours - Light, dark or the system setting - Accent colors - Liquid Glass on iOS 26 Yours alone - Everything is stored on your device and works offline - No account, no servers, no tracking - iCloud sync between your own devices, through your own iCloud account and nowhere else - Export a JSON backup of everything and import it on another device Olive is free for up to five habits.

Until is a calm countdown to the moments you are looking forward to — and a quiet helper for getting ready. A COUNTDOWN YOU CAN TRUST Every number is calculated in the event's own time zone, by calendar day, so it is right the moment you glance at it. Count in days, in workdays, as a percentage of the way there, or keep counting after the day has passed. ALWAYS IN VIEW Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets keep working without a network connection. Pick which countdown a widget shows, or let it always show the next one. GET READY, NOT JUST EXCITED Add milestones for the weeks before, a short checklist for the things you must not forget, and reminders that arrive when you choose. Passport check. Hotels booked. Who is coming. YOURS, PRIVATELY There is no account. Your countdowns live on your device. Until never adds to or changes your calendar, and it only asks for notification permission the first time you add a reminder. MAKE IT YOURS Choose from 200 photo covers or use your own photo — every cover is free. Birthdays and anniversaries can repeat every year, and Until follows your phone's light and dark mode. PRO, WITHOUT THE ADS Until Pro removes advertising and unlocks every theme and every widget style. Choose a monthly or yearly plan and cancel any time. Weddings, trips, exams, graduations, a new home, a baby, a concert, a launch. Whatever you are counting down to, Until helps you get there ready.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Olive at none against Until's shown. Olive also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Until's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 5 days). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
