Alternative to Habitify

A free Habitify alternativeunlimited habits, real streaks

Kindling is built around the same daily journal as Habitify: habits grouped by morning, afternoon and evening, a check-in button that knows whether a habit is done, counted or timed, and statistics for every habit. The free plan stops at three habits elsewhere. Here you add the twelfth, or the fortieth, and nothing asks you to upgrade.

Habitify's web pricing page still showed the old Free and Premium plans, so paid amounts are US App Store prices recorded by a third party in June 2026; they vary by store and country.

$0No plan, no trial, no card, nothing to cancel.

Kindling has no tiers. Every feature is there from the first habit.

Prices hard to pin down
The website, the help centre and the app stores show different plans and amounts, which makes it hard to know what you will pay.

Questions

Before you switch

Is Habitify free?

Yes, for up to 3 habits with 1 reminder each. More habits need the Plus or Pro plan.

What is a free habit tracker with no limit on habits?

Kindling. Add as many habits, reminders and areas as you like; there is no paid tier to unlock.

Can I import my Habitify history?

Not yet. Habitify exports a CSV of your check-ins, but Kindling does not read it. You create your habits once, then Kindling keeps your history from that day.
