HabitNow
Pros
- Combines recurring habits, chores, and simple todos with streaks and charts in one app
- Timer modes support Pomodoro-style focus without installing another timer app
- Widgets and reminders keep routines visible on the home screen
- Backup and lock options appeal to people nervous about losing streak data
- Store ratings stay strong against much larger habit-tracker franchises
Cons
- No official iPhone or iPad client — mixed-device households need another tool on Apple hardware
- Indie footprint means roadmap and support depend on a small team
- Google Play listing still collects typical Google-account telemetry categories
- Power project managers still graduate to TickTick, Todoist, or Notion-style stacks
TickTick
Pros

- Tomato timer plus stats cover focus ritual without another app
- Lunar tabs cover Asia-first calendar quirks power users expect
- Paid tier undercuts Todoist premium for similar breadth
- Voice entry handles short captures while driving
Cons
- UI density reads busy next to Things 3 minimalism
- Natural-language date parsing trails Todoist’s headline feature
- Privacy threads resurface whenever cloud-first vendors hiccup
- Bare-metal markdown fans still export elsewhere
