What does HabitRix give a couple?

HabitRix gives a couple a private room for each shared habit, with a clear daily view of both partners. Here is what each room includes.

What does a couple need from a shared habit tracker?

A couple needs a private space, support for both phones, and personal habits that stay private. HabitRix is built for all three.

A private space. The shared space should be invite-only and hidden from strangers. Public feeds and global leaderboards add an audience that most couples do not want. HabitRix rooms are never public.

Support for both partners’ phones. Many couples have one iPhone and one Android phone. An Apple-only app fails in that case, no matter how polished it is. HabitRix puts both partners in the same room.

Gentle visibility. Each partner should see whether the other checked in today, without having to ask. In HabitRix, a push notification tells you when your partner completes the habit.

Fair data. Each partner should check in only for themselves. In HabitRix, everyone checks in for themselves, for today, with one tap. The grid shows real effort from both partners.

Low cost for both. Both partners need the app. The HabitRix free plan includes a shared room, so neither partner pays just to take part.

The 7 best habit tracker apps for couples, ranked

1. HabitRix: the best habit tracker for couples

What it is. HabitRix, our app, is a habit tracker for iPhone and Android, listed in the stores as “Habit Share: HabitRix”. Couples, friends and groups track habits together in shared rooms. It is rated about 4.6–4.7 on both stores.

Why it wins. HabitRix gives a couple exactly what they need: a private room for each shared habit, both phones in one room, personal habits that stay private, and a free plan that includes a shared room.

How it works for a couple. One partner creates a room for one shared habit, for example “Evening walk” or “No phone after 10 pm”. Android calls it a “room”; iPhone calls it a “group”. The partner sends the invite link in any chat app, or reads out the 6-character code. The other partner taps the link or types the code, and both are in. See how to create a room and invite someone.

Each partner checks in with one tap a day. It is simple and honest: each of you checks in for yourself, for today. Each partner sees the other’s activity grid for about the last 6 months, total days done, and whether they checked in today. iPhone also shows each partner’s streak, and a push notification tells you when your partner completes the habit.

Privacy. Rooms are private and invite-only. Your partner sees only your room check-ins and your display name. Your personal habits stay on your phone. The page what room members can see gives the full list.

Price. HabitRix is free to download, and the core shared-room features are free. Start free: up to 3 habits and your first shared room (on iPhone, one group you own and one you join). That means two iPhone users can share 2 habits for free: each partner creates one group and joins the other’s. HabitRix Pro unlocks unlimited habits and rooms, statistics, more widgets and backup export, with monthly, yearly and lifetime plans.

More for each partner. Each partner can also track personal daily, weekly and monthly goals, with streaks, reminders and Home Screen widgets. HabitRix has no ads.

2. Habitica: only for couples who want an RPG game

What it is. Habitica is a role-playing game with avatars and quests, on the web, iOS and Android. Two people can form a party; per the Habitica wiki, a party can have from 1 to 30 members.

Price. The core game is free. An optional subscription costs $4.99 per month or $47.99 per year at the time of writing.

The catch. Both partners must enjoy the game. During a boss quest, missed Dailies by one partner can damage both partners, which turns one partner’s bad day into the other partner’s problem.

3. Streaks: only for all-Apple couples

What it is. Streaks is a habit tracker for Apple devices only. Per its App Store listing, you can share tasks with other Streaks users. It costs $5.99 as a one-time purchase at the time of writing.

The catch. Streaks has no Android app, so it fails any couple where one partner uses Android. It also has no shared room for two.

4. HabitShare: free, but its iOS app is not updated

What it is. HabitShare is a free habit tracker by Lucas Bickston (habitshareapp.com) for iOS and Android. HabitShare is a different app from HabitRix, despite the similar name. Per its App Store listing, you choose which habits each friend can see.

The catch. The iOS listing shows version 2.1.99 from January 27, 2023 as the latest version, and the Google Play listing shows a last update in December 2024. An app with no recent updates can have problems on new phone software.

5. Habit Huddle: for Discord communities

What it is. Habit Huddle is a group habit tracker built around Discord. Per its website, huddles can be exclusive or public.

Price. Free for one active habit. Paid plans add more habits.

The catch. The free plan covers one habit, and the app has public huddles and a community feed that a couple does not need.

6. Daily Pact: for competitive couples who both pay

What it is. Daily Pact is a group habit app for iPhone and Android. Per its website, you invite your partner with a code, and leaderboards rank members.

Price. A 14-day free trial, then $0.99 per month, $9.99 per year or $39.99 lifetime at the time of writing.

The catch. Daily Pact has no free plan, so both partners must pay after the trial.

7. Habitify: built for solo tracking

What it is. Habitify is a habit tracker built mainly for solo tracking. Per its website, you can challenge friends and join monthly challenges.

Price. Free for 3 habits. Premium costs $2.49 per month billed yearly, or $59.99 lifetime, per the Habitify pricing page at the time of writing.

The catch. Habitify is built for solo tracking, with challenges on the side. There is no ongoing private space for two.

Will tracking habits together cause fights?

Shared tracking helps when both partners choose it and each person tracks only their own effort. It can cause friction when one partner uses it to monitor the other.

Three simple rules keep it positive:

1. Both partners opt in. Do not start a room “for” your partner. Agree on the habit together.
2. Track your own effort. Each person checks in for themselves. HabitRix is built this way: every member checks in only for themselves.
3. Do not use a missed day as an argument. The grid shows the pattern over weeks. One empty day means little.

Our guide on how to track habits as a couple covers the ground rules in more detail.

Does tracking habits with a partner help?

Yes. Research suggests that partners influence each other’s health habits. A study by Jackson, Steptoe and Wardle (2015) followed about 3,722 couples in the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. People were more likely to quit smoking, become physically active or lose weight when their partner made the same change at the same time.

A 2016 meta-analysis by Harkin and colleagues of 138 studies found that monitoring progress improves goal attainment. The effect was larger when people reported progress to others. A HabitRix room lets partners make the same change and report it to each other every day, with one tap.

How should a couple choose?

For every couple, pick HabitRix. It works on both phones, keeps your room private and lets you start free.

• Any couple, on any mix of iPhone and Android, who wants to build a habit together: HabitRix.
