A habit tracker with no subscription
Most habit trackers bill you every month for ticking a box. Habbles is free to use, and if you want more, you pay once and it's yours.
Habbles is a habit tracker for iPhone with no subscription. Two habits, one challenge, every widget and the Apple Watch app are free forever. Habbles Pro is a single purchase ($19.99 in the US) that unlocks unlimited habits. There is no account and no ads.
01What's free
- Two habits and one challenge, with no time limit.
- All 30 Habbles, the little creatures that stand for your habits.
- Every widget, the Lock Screen widgets and the Control Center button.
- The Apple Watch app and its complications.
- Reminders, streak freezes and 30 days of history.
02What one payment unlocks
- Unlimited habits and challenges.
- Your whole history and the year view.
- Patterns between your habits and your mood.
- Every app icon.
- Family Sharing, so one purchase covers your family.
Habbles Pro is $19.99 in the US, once. Prices vary by country. There is no trial that turns into a charge, and nothing renews.
03No account, no ads, no tracking
There is nothing to sign up for. Your habits stay on your iPhone, the App Store privacy label reads “Data Not Collected”, and the app contains no advertising and no analytics.
04Why pay once?
A habit tracker has no servers to run when your data stays on your phone, so there is no ongoing cost to pass on to you. Charging once is simply the honest price.
05Subscription or one-time: the arithmetic
Habit trackers are something you use for years, which is exactly when a subscription costs the most. A typical habit app charges somewhere between $30 and $70 a year.
| After 1 year | After 3 years | After 5 years | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Subscription at $30 a year | $30 | $90 | $150 |
| Subscription at $60 a year | $60 | $180 | $300 |
| Habbles Pro, once | $19.99 | $19.99 | $19.99 |
| Habbles free | $0 | $0 | $0 |

06Why most habit apps are subscriptions
It isn't greed, usually. Apps that sync through their own servers, run social features or send data to analytics services have bills every month, and a subscription pays them. Habbles has none of those costs: your habits stay on your iPhone, there are no accounts to host and no ads to serve. With nothing to run on our side, a one-time price is simply the honest one.
07What the free version can and can't do
| Feature | Free | Pro (one purchase) |
|---|---|---|
| Habits | 2 | Unlimited |
| Challenges at once | 1 | Unlimited |
| All 30 Habbles | Yes | Yes |
| Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets | Yes | Yes |
| Apple Watch app and complications | Yes | Yes |
| Reminders, streak freezes, quit counter | Yes | Yes |
| Apple Health | Yes | Yes |
| History | Last 30 days | Everything, with a year view |
| Patterns between habits and mood | No | Yes |
| Alternative app icons | No | Yes |
| Export and backup | Yes | Yes |
Nothing older than 30 days is deleted on the free version; it is kept and shown again if you ever upgrade. Export is free on purpose: an app that says your data is yours shouldn't charge you to take it out.
08What “pay once” means here
- It is a non-consumable purchase. It is tied to your Apple Account, so it survives a new iPhone, a reinstall and a restore.
- It covers iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch with the same Apple Account.
- Family Sharing is included. One purchase covers your Family Sharing group.
- Updates are included. There is no “version 2” you have to buy again to keep what you had.
- Refunds go through Apple, as for any App Store purchase.
09No account, and why that matters for the price too
No account means no email address to sell, no password to leak and no server holding your habits. It also means there is nothing on our side that would stop working if you stopped paying. The App Store privacy label for Habbles reads “Data Not Collected”.
10How we made this
We build Habbles, so this page is our own description of our own pricing. The limits and features above are taken from the current version of the app. If anything here ever differs from what you see in the app, the app is right and we'd like to hear about it.
