Strides

Strides is one of the most popular goal settings apps and for a reason. Not only does it allow you to break out bigger goals into achievable targets, but is also simple to use. You simply need to select a goal (as suggested by the app or else create your own goal), set a target by inserting a goal value and then turn that action into a regular habit. Each successful habit will turn green, while skipped habits turn red.

Perhaps the best habit tracking app for iOS.

The Strides app also lets you create “Siri” shortcuts or add a custom phrase you want to assign to track your habits. The good thing about the Strides app is that it will always remind you of your goals and challenge you to meet them.
