Habo is an open-source habit tracker for building routines on Android, iOS, Linux, and macOS. Habit entries can record a success, a number, a missed habit, a skip, or a note. Progress views show streaks, trends, completions over time, and insights. Reminders, a monthly calendar, categories, reordering, and archiving help organize habits. Tracking works offline, with changes reconciled after reconnection using a Last-Write-Wins CRDT engine. User-created data stays on the device by default; backup and sync require an account. Habo Sync encrypts data on-device with user-controlled keys, using Argon2id key derivation and AES-GCM, and says it cannot read habit data. Users can self-host the Supabase backend for free without restrictions. The product also lists data export, backup, widgets, and a URL scheme for opening the app from Shortcuts and other apps. Habit tracking costs 0.00 USD per free. Habo Sync costs 1.99 USD per month or 9.99 USD per year. Habit notes are capped at 400 characters.
