StepKind helps you care for yourself through daily activity and personal habits. Steps, sleep, reading or a warm-up come together in one daily result, so you can see your progress in one place. • Choose what to track: steps, sleep, active calories or just your own habits. • Connect Apple Health if you wish. Access is read-only and requires your permission. • Add habits with your own names, colorful icons and schedules: daily or on selected days. • Set habit reminders and a daily review reminder. • See individual goal scores and an overall daily score. • Explore weekly, monthly and yearly analytics: average scores, habit completions and individual day details. • Correct past habit completions in Analytics, independently of make-up and extra-completion settings. • Change goals while preserving previous targets in your history. • Make up a habit that was scheduled and missed yesterday, or mark extra completion on a rest day. Both options can be configured separately for each habit. No ads, subscriptions or registration. Your health and habit data in StepKind stays only on your device. All features are free. If you wish, you can say thanks to the developer with optional one-time support through the App Store. It does not unlock additional features or affect your scores.
Veli
Read full descriptionHide full description
Veli is a habit tracker that supports you instead of scolding. Pick from over a hundred habits — usual and unusual — and learn why each one matters and what changes after 3, 21 and 66 days. Or create your own. HONEST AND GENTLE • Done, not done, a rest day or the minimum version — “one page instead of twenty” still counts. • Missed a day? Buy your streak back with the hearts you earn for every habit. • One tap for why you missed — Veli shows what gets in the way most and which weekday is hardest. • “N times a week” for workouts and anything that doesn’t need to be daily. WILLPOWER • Vows: a promise for a week, a month or a whole year — or pick your own dates. • Quitting: a “clean for” timer from any past date, money saved, what happens to your body. • “Having a craving” — 10 minutes of breathing, your own reason, and the wave’s countdown on the Lock Screen. • Call a witness: a “Check on me on Nov 15” card for a friend. THINGS NO OTHER APP HAS • The trail to Lake Synevyr: every day you keep your habits is a step from Hoverla to the lake, with stops and postcards along the way. • Keepsakes: letters to yourself, the evening “what was good”, weekly reviews, milestones and “this day a year ago” — your story in your own words. • Close to home: a minute of silence at 9:00, speaking Ukrainian, a small donation, an emergency bag kept ready. • Power-cut mode: one tap and streaks wait, while habits suggest what you can do without power. • A letter to yourself that opens on day 21 and day 66 — and on day 66 you can mark a habit as truly yours. • An evening ritual: close the day in a minute. • Fireflies on screen — one more for every day of your streak. ALWAYS AT HAND • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets — tick habits right there. • Siri and Shortcuts: “Mark a habit in Veli”. • Apple Health: steps, water, exercise and mindful minutes fill in by themselves. • Reminders — once, every few hours, or at the times you pick. • Weekly review, a year calendar, insights. YOUR DATA IS YOURS No ads, no trackers. Works fully without an account. Sync is optional, via Sign in with Apple. Backup to a file, restore and full deletion — one tap each. Ukrainian and English. Light and dark themes.

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