Habits can be good or bad, motivating or distracting. The goal should be to create and develop good habits so your daily life is easier and more enjoyable. But sometimes, it's hard to see the patterns your habits create. Without recognizing those patterns, making effective change can be a challenge.

That's where habit trackers come into play. These tools provide a visual representation of your habits and progress to help you maintain accountability and stay motivated as you work to improve your daily routine.

There are several quality habit trackers available for Android, and I've curated a list just for you.

1. Loop Habit Tracker

Loop Habit Tracker is a free and open-source app that offers a simple interface, habit scores, detailed charts and graphics, flexible schedules, reminders, and calendar views to visualize progress. Loop Tracker allows manual tracking with customizable notifications and supports exporting data. 

Even better, Loop Habit Tracker works offline, so you don't have to worry that a third party has access to your data.

This habit tracker is ad-free and can be installed directly from theGoogle Play Store.

2. Daylio

Daylio is technically a journaling app, but it also includes the ability to track habits and moods. The reason I include this app on the list is that it's a great way to combine journaling and habit tracking in one convenient place. On top of that, Daylio allows you to track fitness, which also qualifies as a habit. 

This is a one-stop-shop app that can serve multiple purposes, which means you can not only keep track of your habits, but also select your moods and activities, and generally keep track of your life.

Daylio is free to use and can be installed via theGoogle Play Store.

3. Fabulous Daily Routine Planner

Fabulous features one of the more fun user interfaces on this list, with both audio and animation. It's colorful and inviting, encouraging consistent use. 

Fabulous is all about unlocking the power of habits and routines to make your daily life easier, more productive, and stress-free. With Fabulous, you can start building healthy habits, take care of yourself, and make necessary lifestyle changes. 

Also: 7 simple things I always do on Android to protect my privacy - and why you should too

One thing to know: Fabulous offers a seven-day free trial. If you like it, the cost is$39.99 annually. Think of Fabulous as your pocket-sized life coach. You can install Fabulous directly from theGoogle Play Store.

4. Clockify

Clockify is primarily a time tracker, but it also offers simple habit tracking with detailed reports and Google Calendar integration. Clockify allows you to record activities, track time, run reports, check your calendar, fill out timesheets, and more. 

The reason I include this app is that Clockify is such an effective time tracker, and it's easy to use it in a way that also tracks your habits. With Clockify, you can get detailed reports of your activities, automatically track the time you spend in apps and on web pages, and create a daily schedule with breaks and alerts. 

Also: I changed 12 settings on my Android phone to dramatically improve battery life

Clockify is free and can be installed from theGoogle Play Store . There's also adesktop version of the app , so you can track your habits at your desk or on the go.

5. Habitify

Habitify is a well-designed app that has been used by millions. Habitify allows you to input the habits you want to track, plan your entire day around routines, get reminders, and visualize your efforts. Habitify uses Jerry Seinfeld's Productivity Secret (aka "Don't break the chain") to build consistency by creating long streaks of effort. Instead of focusing on the habit or the reason behind it, this method emphasizes the process. Think of Habitify as both your habit tracker and your life coach. 

Also: How to clear your Android phone's cache and make it feel like new

You can install Habitify directly from theGoogle Play Store . You can use Habitify for free with limitations. The in-app subscription ($2.49/month) unlocks unlimited habit tracking, notes, and even a privacy lock.
