XP TRACKERXP Tracker vs HabitKit
HabitKit gives every habit a grid of tiles that fills in one square a day, like a contribution graph. XP Tracker gives your habits to a hero as quests, with bosses to beat, a comic to unlock and gear and pets to collect. Both reward showing up, and the two look nothing alike.
We make XP Tracker. HabitKit facts were checked against its App Store listing, its Google Play listing and its website in November 2026.
A grid of squares, or a boss to beat
HabitKit is a small, well-made habit tracker by independent developer Sebastian Röhl. Every habit gets its own tile grid, and each day you do it fills a square. You can track a simple yes or no, count things like glasses or pages, or measure amounts in your own unit. You can also quit a habit: every day counts as clean until you log a slip, or you set a daily maximum. It has streaks, statistics, notes on any day, home-screen widgets and share cards for your grids. There's no account and no ads, your data stays on your phone, and it works offline. It runs on iPhone and Android.
XP Tracker is a habit RPG. You pick one of eight classes, and the class comes with daily quests like Plan Your Day, Physical Training, Deep Focus, Meditate and Gratitude, plus quests of its own. Each quest earns XP. The XP levels your hero, damages the current boss and unlocks the next panel of your class's comic, and you collect gear and pets as you level. It also has an ending: finish all eight classes and your hero is immortalized in the Hall of Heroes, ranked by when you finished, among players from all over the world. It runs on iPhone and Android.
If watching a grid fill up keeps you honest, HabitKit does that well. If the grid went quiet after a few weeks, a story with bosses, loot and pets to collect might pull you back.

Who should pick HabitKit
- You want a quiet app with no account, no sign-up and your data kept on your phone.
- A year of filled squares is all the reward you need.
- You track numbers, like litres of water or kilometres run, or you want to cut back on something with a daily limit.
- You want your grids on your iPhone home screen.
Who should pick XP Tracker
- You stopped looking at your grid once the novelty wore off.
- You'd like the app to suggest the habits, and to make some of them harder as you grow.
- You play games and want your workout to knock a chunk off a boss.
- An empty square used to feel like failure. In XP Tracker a missed day costs only the XP you didn't earn, and rest days keep your streaks.
- Your phone is part of the problem, and you want it locked until the quests are done.
Moving from HabitKit to XP Tracker
- Keep a backup of your grids. HabitKit lets you export a backup, so your history stays yours even if you move on.
- Match your habits to quests. Exercise, reading, meditation, stretching and planning are core quests in every class already.
- Add the rest. Tap + Add a quest for habits like Drink water, Floss, Take your meds, Study a language or No social media. Each add-on keeps its own streak.
- Start on Easy bosses. Easy fights need less XP. Step up to Medium or Mythic once the routine holds.
Questions people ask
What is the difference between HabitKit and XP Tracker?
HabitKit is a minimal habit tracker: you create habits and each one gets a tile grid that fills in on the days you do it. XP Tracker is a habit RPG: you pick a class that comes with daily quests, and finishing them levels a hero, damages a boss and unlocks the next panel of a comic, with loot and pets to collect on the way.
Does XP Tracker need an account like HabitKit doesn't?
Yes. XP Tracker uses sign-in with Google or Apple so your progress syncs and stays safe if you change phones. HabitKit needs no account and keeps your data on your device.
Can I create my own habits in XP Tracker?
You add habits from a library of about 60 optional quests, such as Drink water, Floss, Take your meds or Walk with a step goal you pick. You can also make your own custom quests and earn XP and gear for them. You can run up to 12 daily, 5 weekly and 5 monthly add-on quests, each with its own streak.
Does XP Tracker have widgets?
On Android there's a home-screen widget. On iPhone, quest timers show as a Live Activity. There's no iPhone home-screen widget yet, so if widgets on your iPhone matter most, HabitKit has them.
Is XP Tracker free?
