Alternatives to Way of Life
Chain-based colored tracking
Way of Life ranks #4 of 7 in Habit trackers, with an Alt Score of 75. It is freemium from $4.99 and available on iOS, macOS and Android. 9 of 9 checklist rows are verified against a public source.
Anyone trying to build a positive habit or break a negative one, from people managing a single routine to those tracking multiple lifestyle changes at once.
A color-coded yes/no/skip system for logging each habit in a few seconds a day. Trend charts show progress over weeks, months, or years. Reminders keep you accountable, and a diary lets you log notes on triggers or lapses.
Each day you mark every tracked habit as done, not done, or skipped with a single tap, and the app color-codes the entry and rolls it into charts so you can see streaks and patterns over time.
