Streaks is the pick for Apple Watch users, and HabitKit for a visual tile grid. A streak is the number of days in a row you kept a habit. It is simple and motivating, until you miss one day and lose a number you spent weeks building. Research suggests one missed day does not undo habit formation (see [why tracking your habits matters](https://habitluma.app/blog/why-track-habits/)), so a good streak tracker should treat a miss as data, not failure. We compared 6 apps on how they count streaks and handle misses. ## The 6 best picks at a glance | # | App | Best for | Price | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | **HabitLuma** | Best for streaks that survive a bad day | Free + Pro | | 2 | **Streaks** | Best for Apple Watch users | Paid app | | 3 | **HabitKit** | Best visual streak grid | Free (4 habits) + Pro | | 4 | **Habitify** | Best for skip days | Free + Plus/Pro | | 5 | **Productive** | Best for perfect-day tracking | Free + Premium | | 6 | **Way of Life** | Best for long-term patterns | Free + Premium | ## How we picked - **How a miss is handled:** freezes, skips or an honest reset. - **How streaks are shown:** counters, grids or calendars. - **Best-streak records,** so a reset does not erase your record. - **Speed of check-in.** ## 1. HabitLuma: best for streaks that survive a bad day Build habits count only the days you schedule, so a rest day is not a miss. Pro adds monthly streak freezes, and quit streaks reset only when you log a slip. - Two habit types: quit habits count clean time since your last slip, and build habits use check-ins on the days you choose. - A slip goes through a short logging flow and restarts the counter. Your earlier runs stay in your history. - Milestones run up to a year and beyond, and the app marks them automatically. - Custom weekly schedules, daily targets and reminders. **Pricing:** Free download. Pro is $4.99 a month, $24.99 a year or $59.99 once (US prices, October 2026). [View HabitLuma on the App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/habitluma-daily-habit-tracker/id6799605111) ## 2.
