Build habits that stick. Track routines. Crush your to-dos. All in one app. Habit Hub is the all-in-one habit tracker, routine timer, and to-do list trusted by thousands of users with a 4.7-star rating. Whether you're building a morning routine, tracking water intake, or managing ADHD — Habit Hub keeps you focused, motivated, and on track. SMART COLOR-CODED TIMELINE Your habits line up by time of day — red when needs attention, yellow when upcoming, green when done. One glance tells you exactly what to do next. No overthinking. Just action. BUILD ANY ROUTINE — TIMERS, BREATHING & TASKS Create multi-step routines that mix and match timers, guided breathing exercises, and simple checkbox tasks in any order. Your morning routine could be: make bed (task) → 5-minute meditation (timer) → box breathing (breathing) → take vitamins (task) → 10-minute workout (timer). Hit play and flow through each step. No other app lets you combine all three. STREAKS & TRACK RECORD Never break your streak. See your performance by week or month with a color-coded calendar. Tap any past day to update your history. Share your progress with friends. ONE-TIME TO-DOS Not everything repeats. Add quick to-dos alongside your habits — reschedule, skip, or knock them out today. One app for everything. FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING Daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, specific days — set any frequency. Multiple times a day (like "drink water 8x"). Goal-based tracking (like "sleep 8 hours"). Your schedule, your rules. HOME & LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS See your habits at a glance without opening the app. Multiple widget sizes for your home screen and lock screen. AUTOMATIC ICLOUD SYNC Your data syncs seamlessly across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Never lose your progress. WHY HABIT HUB? • Replaces your habit tracker, routine timer, and to-do app • ADHD-friendly — color-coded visual cues, automatic reminders, one thing at a time • Smart repeating reminders that nudge you like a personal assistant • Complete habits from notifications, widgets, or Siri Shortcuts • Free to start — unlock unlimited habits with a one-time purchase

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Habit Hub at none against Productive's shown. Habit Hub also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 47%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Productive's advantage is ratings volume (91K vs 8.1K) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Productive sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Habit Hub sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Productive against 4.7 for Habit Hub. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Productive has 91K ratings behind it against 8.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 47% of Productive's written reviews are positive against 78% of Habit Hub's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Productive ships an update fortnightly, Habit Hub every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
