DayDone as a Streaks Alternative

Streaks is a well-known, focused habit tracker for iPhone. Here's how it compares to a tool that also handles tasks and your calendar.

What Streaks is

Streaks is a widely used, Apple Design Award-winning habit tracker built around a simple idea: pick up to a handful of habits, complete them daily, keep the streak alive. It's intentionally minimal, no task list, no calendar, just habits, and that focus is a big part of its appeal.

DayDone vs Streaks

DayDone Streaks
Habit tracking with streaks Yes Yes, its core focus
Task list Yes, built in Not included
Calendar events in the same view Yes, Apple Calendar Not included
Number of habits at once Not limited by app design Designed around a small, focused set
Interface Combined daily planner Minimal, habit-only

When Streaks might be the better choice

If habits are the only thing you want to track, and you'd rather not see tasks or calendar events mixed in, Streaks' narrow focus is a genuine strength, not a limitation. Its simplicity is the point.

When DayDone fits better

If you're switching between a to-do app, a habit tracker and your calendar to plan a single day, DayDone puts all three in one place instead of three separate apps.

One daily view instead of three apps

DayDone combines tasks, habit streaks and your Apple Calendar in a single daily plan.

Which app is simpler to start with?

Streaks, if habits are genuinely the only thing you want to track. DayDone takes a little more setup since it covers more ground.
