Streaks app alternatives for Android and mixed iPhone-Android groups

Why look for a Streaks alternative?

The main reason to look for a Streaks alternative is Android. Streaks, made by Crunchy Bagel, runs only on Apple devices, per its App Store listing. There is no Android version.

That becomes a problem in two cases:

• You switch to Android and want to keep a streak-based tracker.
• You want to track habits with a friend or partner on Android. Streaks lets you share tasks with other Streaks users, per its listing, but an Android user cannot install Streaks. So Streaks fails any group with an Android phone.

HabitRix, our app, solves both cases.

What is Streaks?

Streaks is a habit tracker for Apple devices. Per its App Store listing, at the time of writing (October 2026), Streaks costs a one-time $5.99 and tracks up to 24 tasks. It works only when everyone involved uses Apple devices.

Streaks alternatives compared

The table below uses facts from official websites and store listings, as of October 2026. Prices change, so check the current listing.

1. HabitRix: the best Streaks alternative for Android and mixed groups

HabitRix is the top Streaks alternative because it works on iPhone and Android, for solo tracking and for tracking with friends.

For your own habits, HabitRix gives you the streak focus you liked in Streaks. Personal habits can be daily, weekly (X times per week) or monthly (X times per month), and a daily habit can need several check-ins per day, such as “drink 8 glasses”. Streaks count your successful days, weeks or months in a row. Every habit has an activity grid and a monthly calendar, where you can mark a past day you forgot. Reminders and Home Screen widgets let you check in fast. Your personal habits stay private on your phone and need no account.

For your friends, HabitRix adds what Streaks cannot do across phones. A room (called a “group” on iPhone) is a private, invite-only space for one shared habit, such as “Read 20 pages”. You send a link or a 6-character code in any chat app. An iPhone user and an Android user join the same room, and rooms have no member limit.

Inside a room, every member sees each member’s activity grid for about the last six months, total days done and today’s check-in. A room leaderboard ranks members, and a push notification tells the room when someone checks in. The check-in is simple and honest: one tap a day, and everyone checks in for today, for themselves.

HabitRix has no ads and is actively updated. Price: start free with up to 3 habits and your first shared room (on iPhone, one group you own and one you join). HabitRix Pro unlocks unlimited habits and rooms, statistics, more widgets and backup export, with monthly, yearly and lifetime plans.

2. Habitify: solo tracking with challenges on the side

Habitify is a personal habit tracker for iOS and Android, built for solo tracking with friend challenges on the side. The free plan is limited to 3 habits, and paid plans are yearly or lifetime. Our HabitRix vs Habitify comparison looks at sharing habits with friends in both apps.

3. Loop Habit Tracker: Android only, no sharing

Loop Habit Tracker is a free, open-source habit tracker for Android only. It has no sharing, so it does not help if you want to track with a friend or partner.

4. Way of Life: solo tracking only

Way of Life runs on iOS and Android. Per its website, it has a free plan limited to 3 habits and a premium subscription. It has no social sharing.

5. Habitica and Daily Pact: game or paid groups

Habitica is a role-playing game with avatars and quests, with parties of up to 30 members on web, iOS and Android. Not everyone wants a game to track a habit. Daily Pact is an app for iOS and Android with private groups of up to 50 members, per its website. It has no free plan.

Does tracking with a partner help?

Research suggests that changing a habit together with a partner helps. A 2015 study by Jackson, Steptoe and Wardle followed about 3,722 couples in England. People were more likely to quit smoking, become more active or lose weight when their partner made the same change at the same time.

This is an observational study, so it shows a link, not proof that an app causes change. But it is a strong reason to pick a tracker your partner can use too, even if your partner uses a different phone. HabitRix lets an iPhone and Android couple share one room. Our guide on how to track habits as a couple has practical steps.

How do you move from Streaks to HabitRix?

Moving from Streaks to HabitRix takes a few minutes.

1. Write down each task in Streaks and your current streak.
2. Install HabitRix on your new phone and recreate your habits as daily, weekly or monthly goals.
3. Open each habit’s calendar and mark the recent days you completed, so your progress carries over.
4. Create a room for any habit you want to share, and send the link to your friend or partner.

Which Streaks alternative should you choose?

Choose HabitRix. It works on iPhone and Android, keeps your streaks front and center, and lets you share any habit with friends or a partner in a private room. You can start free and upgrade to HabitRix Pro when you want unlimited habits and rooms.

Streaks works only when every friend and family member uses an Apple device. One Android phone in the group, and the group cannot track together. HabitRix puts iPhone and Android users in the same room. For a full comparison of social trackers, see the best habit tracker apps with friends.
