A habit tracker online, free, with nothing to install
This is a daily habit tracker that runs in your browser. It is free, there is no signup, and the first habit takes two taps. Each habit gets an activity grid: one small square for each day of the last year, filled in on the days you checked in. Over a few weeks, the grid shows your real pattern more clearly than any single number.
How to use this online habit tracker
- Add a habit. Pick an idea from the list, or tap New habit and type a name. Choose a colour and a goal: every day, or some days a week.
- Check in each day. Tap the round check on the habit. Today’s square fills in and the streak goes up.
- Fix a missed check-in. Open Past days and tap the day you forgot. Tap it again to unmark it.
- Keep a backup. Click Export from time to time. The file brings everything back in any browser.
Not sure what to track? Start with one or two small habits with a clear “done” rule. Our list of habit ideas to track gives a rule for each one, and habit stacking shows how to tie a new habit to something you already do. To find the habit to change first, score a normal day with the habit scorecard.
How the streaks count
- Daily habit: the current streak is the number of days in a row that are done.
- Today stays open. Until midnight, a streak that ends yesterday still counts. It breaks only when a whole day passes with no check-in.
- Some days a week: the streak counts the weeks in a row in which you reached the goal. The current week stays open until it ends, so rest days do not break the streak.
- Best streak: the longest run you ever had, also from days older than the grid.
- Your calendar, your midnight. The tracker uses the date on your device. A new day starts at midnight where you are. A check-in belongs to a date, so it does not move when you travel to another time zone.
- Days after today cannot be marked.
These are the same rules as in the app (see how HabitRix calculates streaks). The app also has monthly goals and several check-ins per day. To keep a streak alive when life gets busy, read how habit streaks work and what to do when one breaks.
Your data stays in this browser
This free habit tracker website has no account and no server for your habits. Everything is saved in your browser on this device, and nothing syncs to your other devices. So clearing your browser data, or closing a private window, deletes your habits. Use Export to save a backup file, and Import to load it again here or in another browser.
Share a snapshot makes a link with a read-only picture of one habit: its grid and its streaks on that day. The picture is inside the link, so only the people you send it to can see it.
From one browser to a group of friends
A habit you track alone is easy to skip. A habit that a friend can see is harder to skip. That is the idea behind HabitRix: the same grid of squares, but in a shared room on each phone, where friends, a partner or a group check in and see each other’s progress. Read how a habit tracker with friends works, or how habit sharing keeps rooms private and invite-only.
