Avocation vs HabitKit

Avocation is a habit-tracking app for planning daily routines and setting goals. It includes lessons on habit change, including ways to build helpful habits and break unwanted ones. Users can choose goals ranging from learning a language to saving for retirement, with habit templates and reminders available. Completing a habit grows a plant, and missing a day does not trigger a streak penalty. The app is available on Android and iOS; the iOS listing says it requires iOS 12.0 or later. The free version is available without charge or registration, though feature limits may apply. The Ireland App Store listing sets the free allowance at up to three habits. Registration is generally not required. The privacy policy says the app uses no cookies and requires no device permissions. It uses Firebase for app usage analysis, performance monitoring, and error logs, with data described as anonymized. Habit recommendations are informational, not medical care.

HabitKit is an Android and iOS habit tracker that records daily habits on a year-long grid, with one tile per day. Users can mark or clear today with a tap and fill earlier dates through a habit calendar. It supports Yes/No, Count, and Measure tracking; Count and Measure habits can use daily goals or stay-below limits. Habits may also have weekly or monthly goals. Progress views include cards, checklists, compact overviews, calendars, streaks, and month-by-month completion statistics. The free tier allows four habits, one reminder per habit, and daily check-in reminders. Pro adds unlimited habits, home-screen widgets, charts, dashboard customization, up to three reminders per habit, and data export and import. Habit history stays on the device, with no account required and no automatic sync to a HabitKit server or between devices. Moving data between devices requires a manual export and import. HabitKit supports Siri and iOS Shortcuts actions, but has no Apple Watch app or complication. Pro does not add automatic syncing or individual quit-habit charts.
