## How to choose habit tracking software

1. Match tool to platformiOS-first (clean, native): Streaks, Productive. Android-first (open-source option): Loop. Cross-platform with gamification: Habitica. Web access: Habitica, Notion habit templates. Pick by your primary device.
2. Decide gamification vs minimalSome users (Habitica) thrive with RPG-style gamification; others (Streaks, Way of Life) prefer minimal clean trackers. Be honest about which motivates you, the wrong choice gets abandoned.
3. Plan for Apple Health / Google FitHealth-linked habits (exercise, sleep, water) work better when the tracker auto-pulls from Apple Health or Google Fit. Manual logging is a friction point.
