A Streaks alternative for Android

Streaks is a popular habit tracker made for Apple devices, and as far as we can tell it has no Android version. If you switched to Android, or always used it, here is what to look for in a replacement. We make Rachi, so weigh our view accordingly; we stick to facts you can check.

What people like about Streaks

Streaks has a clean design and a simple idea: build chains of days and try not to break them. If you came from it, you probably want the same things back: a fast daily check-in, visible streaks, and habits that are not only "every day".

What to look for in an Android habit tracker

• One-tap check-in. The Today screen should show what is due and let you tick it in a tap.
• Real schedules. Weekdays, specific days or "three times a week", with a streak that follows them.
• A kind streak. Days off that do not break the chain, and a way to recover from a slip.
• Works without internet. Checking in should not need a connection.
• Your data stays yours. Export, and no ads.
• Honest pricing. A free plan that is actually usable, and a clear trial before you pay.

How Rachi does it

• Check-in: the Today list shows the habits due today; tap to mark done, tap again to undo. See Getting started.
• Schedules: every day, weekdays, specific days, or a number of times a week. Days outside the schedule neither add to the streak nor break it. See How streaks work.
• Slips: Pro can repair a streak after a miss, up to 3 times a month. Your best streak is always kept.
• Without internet: check-ins, edits, archiving and deleting work without a connection. Adding a new habit needs one. See Without internet.
• Your data: export your whole history for free, and there are no ads. See Download your habits.
• Pricing: the free plan includes up to 5 active habits and 7 days of history, with notes, goals and export. Pro adds unlimited habits and full history, and starts with a 7-day free trial. Current prices are on the pricing page.

Honest limits

Rachi is Android only, and it is a young app. The free plan has a cap of 5 active habits and 7 days of history, and the streak repair is a Pro feature. If you need an iPhone or Mac version, Streaks is built for that and Rachi is not.

Other options

If you want something fully free and open source, Loop Habit Tracker is a well-known choice on Android. Everyone's needs differ, so try one or two for a week each.

What to do next

Install Rachi from Google Play, add the two or three habits you already track, and see if the Today screen feels as quick as you remember. To understand how streaks behave when you skip days, read Habit streaks that survive days off.
