OpenHabitTracker
Take notes, plan tasks, track habits.
OpenHabitTracker is a free, open-source application that combines note-taking, task planning, and habit tracking into a single tool. It addresses the common problem of demotivation from broken streaks by using an urgency-based system: instead of a streak counter as the primary indicator, it measures how overdue a habit is relative to its repeating interval. This helps users prioritize tasks based on actual need rather than maintaining a perfect record.
The application includes modules for notes in Markdown, tasks with planned dates and timers, and habits with repeat rules and full completion history. It offers search, filter, and sort capabilities, as well as statistics and charts for each habit. Integrations include import from Google Keep and file export/import in Markdown, YAML, JSON, and TSV formats. It is available as a web app and native apps for Windows, Linux, Android, iOS, and macOS, with a self-hosted sync option via Docker.
OpenHabitTracker is designed for individuals who want a private, ad-free habit tracker without accounts or subscriptions. It is packaged with no free plan or trial limitations, as it is entirely free with no in-app purchases. The software is seat-based, meaning it is used per device, and there are no usage-based restrictions.
