The Habit Tracker (InnerGrow) alternative that also counts calories

Habit Tracker, built by InnerGrow, is one of the most downloaded habit apps on the App Store — north of 15 million users and a 4.8-star average across well over 100,000 ratings. That's not a fluke. It's a genuinely well-made, ADHD-friendly habit tracker with a big, loyal following, and it deserves the credit that comes with those numbers.

It's also, by its own design, a habit app and only a habit app. The moment your day involves logging what you ate or actually finishing what you planned, you're back to juggling a second and third app that know nothing about the first. That's the gap this comparison is about.

What Habit Tracker does well

Being fair about the competition: Habit Tracker earned its download count.

• A genuinely large, well-reviewed user base. 15M+ users and a 4.8-star rating across six figures of ratings is a real signal — a lot of people open this app daily and stick with it.
• Deep habit-specific features. Flexible goal units (not just checkmarks), group habits with friends, mood tracking, an HRV stress monitor, and an ADHD-friendly planner mode go well beyond a basic streak counter.
• Home and Lock Screen widgets. You can check off a habit without opening the app at all — a genuinely useful piece of friction removal.

If habits are the only thing you want to track and you like a bit of social accountability built in, Habit Tracker is a solid, proven choice — this post isn't arguing otherwise.

Where tracck differs

Habit Tracker's own listing describes its calorie feature as syncing with Apple Health — and that one line is the whole gap this comparison is about.

1. Calories are logged, not just mirrored. Habit Tracker doesn't scan food or log meals — it reads calorie, step and sleep data that Apple Health already has, which means you still need a separate calorie-logging app (or manual entry) feeding that data in the first place. tracck logs the meal itself: point your camera at a plate or say what you ate, and tracck's AI estimates calories and macros directly, no second app required.

2. Tasks live in the same app. InnerGrow doesn't attempt to combine habits and to-dos in one product — they ship a completely separate app for that (To Do List – MinimaList). That's two apps, two icons, two check-ins, for what's really one daily planning problem. tracck keeps habit streaks, meals and tasks in a single Today view.

3. One clear free tier. Habit Tracker is free to download, but unlocking the full app means choosing between six different in-app purchases — a monthly plan, a yearly plan, a one-time "lifetime" purchase, a family lifetime plan, and a couple of promo variants, at different prices in different countries. tracck is free to download with your first 3 AI actions included, and one Pro subscription when you want unlimited AI logging.

Feature comparison

Two fair caveats: Habit Tracker runs on more of Apple's platforms than tracck does today, and its group habits and friendly-competition features give it a social layer tracck doesn't have. If you want to build habits alongside friends, or you live in Apple's whole ecosystem including Watch and Mac, that's a real point in its favor.

Which should you pick

Pick Habit Tracker if habits are genuinely the only thing you want to track, you want to build them with friends, or you need it running on your Watch and Mac as well as your phone.

Pick tracck if your habit app is already the first of three you open every day. The argument isn't that Habit Tracker does habits badly — it doesn't — it's that syncing Apple Health data isn't the same as actually logging your meals, and a separate to-do app is still a separate app.

A habit tracker that only knows about your habits is doing exactly what it says on the tin. The question is whether that's still enough apps for your one day.

That's the whole case for one app instead of three: habits, meals and tasks sharing a single Today view, so a broken streak and four skipped meals show up on the same screen instead of two apps that never talk to each other.
