Avocation vs Table Habit (mHabit)

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.

Table Habit, also called mHabit, is a free, open-source habit tracker for building and tracking micro habits. It supports positive and negative habits, daily and extra goals, completion rules, target days, reminders, and Markdown descriptions. Scoring uses growth curves and separate models for habits to do and habits not to do. Habit details include heatmaps, score-change graphs with day, week, month, or year aggregation, and check-in charts. Users can arrange habits in collapsible groups and reorder them by dragging. The app works offline with local-first storage, and its applications do not send data to a service without user authorization. No sign-up is required, and the project states that it has no telemetry. WebDAV synchronization works with Nextcloud, Koofr, or self-hosted servers. Users can import and export native JSON or migrate from Loop Habit Tracker. It is available for Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux, with distribution through Google Play, App Store, F-Droid, Flathub, and Microsoft Store. The project is licensed under Apache 2.0.
