COMPARISON

A Streaks alternative that is not Apple-only

Streaks is a beautifully made habit app. It is also iPhone, iPad, Watch and Mac only. Here is the honest comparison if you need Android, Windows or the web.

Streaks is one of the best-designed habit apps ever shipped. It won an Apple Design Award, and its restraint is the point rather than a limitation. There is one thing good design cannot fix, though: it only exists inside Apple's ecosystem. If you are on Android, on Windows, or you simply want your habits in a browser tab at work, you need something else.

What Streaks does well

Credit where it is due

The design. Fast, tactile, beautifully typeset. An Apple Design Award winner, and it shows.
A one-time purchase. You buy it once instead of renting it monthly. That is increasingly rare and genuinely better for the user.
Deep Apple integration. Apple Health as a data source, Apple Watch complications, widgets that feel native because they are.
A deliberate cap on how many habits you can track. It sounds like a limitation and works like a feature.

If you live entirely on Apple devices and track alone, Streaks is an excellent choice.

Where Stelo is different

It runs everywhere there is a browser. Android, Windows, Linux, a locked-down work laptop. Open a tab and you are in.
Installable as an app on macOS, Windows, iOS and Android, from the browser, with the same account syncing across all of them.
Friends, a leaderboard and weekly challenges. Streaks is a private, solo tool by design. Stelo assumes consistency is easier witnessed.
A pomodoro timer in the same app, so the habit and the focus session are not in two different places.
A free plan, so you can find out whether you will actually use it before paying anything.
Five languages, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and German.

Which one should you pick

Stay with Streaks

Every device you own has an Apple logo on it, you want Apple Health and Watch complications, you prefer paying once, and you track privately.

Try Stelo

You use Android or Windows, you want the same habits on a work browser, or you want friends and a focus timer in the same place.

Being straight with you: a subscription costs more over five years than a one-time purchase, Stelo has no Apple Health or Apple Watch integration, and the native iOS app is still in development. On pure iPhone polish, Streaks is ahead. Stelo's argument is reach, people and the timer, not out-designing an Apple Design Award.

Common questions

Is there a version of Streaks for Android?

No. Streaks is built for Apple platforms only, so Android users need a different app. Stelo runs in any modern browser today, on Android included, and can be installed to your home screen so it behaves like an app.

Is Stelo a one-time purchase like Streaks?

No, and this is the honest downside. Streaks is bought once. Stelo has a free plan for three habits, and Stelo+ is 4.99 USD a month or 47.88 USD a year. Over several years a subscription costs more.

Does Stelo sync with Apple Health?

No. Apple Health as a habit data source is one of the genuine advantages of staying with Streaks.

Can I use the same habits on my phone and my work computer?

Yes. Stelo is one account synced across every device you sign in on, including a browser tab on a computer where you cannot install software.

Try it before you move anything

The free plan covers three habits, the to-do list, friends and the pomodoro timer. No card, no email required.
