Goalympics vs Streaks — comparing two iOS habit trackers
Streaks is the cleanest solo habit tracker on iOS — twelve-habit cap, big check-marks, beautiful Apple Watch flow. Goalympics is an AI goals journal: you say what happened in plain language and it keeps your goals' books, with games and friends layered on top. Both feel native; the question is whether you want tap-to-check or talk-to-log.
Feature-by-feature
| Feature | Goalympics | Streaks |
|---|---|---|
| Daily logging | One sentence logs amounts, several habits, even last week | One-tap check-marks — excellent for binary habits Streaks |
| Habit cap | No fixed cap; goals contain habits | 12-habit max Streaks |
| Goal layer | Four goal kinds — build up, cut down, maintain, quit | No goals — habits stand alone Streaks |
| Streak rules | Goals pace on their own schedule; a missed day isn't a reset | Strict daily streak (one miss resets) Streaks |
| Apple Watch & widgets | No watch app — logging is by text or voice in-app | Best-in-class watch + widget integration Streaks |
| Social features | Games with fair leaderboards; wins public, slips partner-only | None Streaks |
| Polish & simplicity | Clean, but more features means more surface | Beautifully minimal — fewer choices, less to think about Streaks |
| Price | Free | One-time $5 purchase Streaks |
| Platforms | iOS (Android on roadmap) | iOS, iPadOS, Apple Watch, macOS Streaks |
Where Streaks wins
- Best-in-class Apple Watch and widget integration.
- Genuinely beautiful, minimal UX — fewer choices makes daily logging effortless.
- Available across the entire Apple ecosystem (Watch, iPad, Mac).
- One-time purchase, no subscription.
Where Goalympics wins
- Say-it logging — amounts ("40 pages", "2 liters"), multiple habits in one note, and backfill for missed days.
- A real goal layer — four goal kinds with computed pace and a projected finish, not just check-marks.
- No daily-streak guilt — goals run on their own schedule, and coming back after a gap is a feature.
- Social layer designed in — wins go to the group, slips only to a partner you pick. Free.
Bottom line
Pick Streaks if you want the cleanest, calmest tap-to-check habit tracker on iOS and you don't want a goal layer or a social layer. Pick Goalympics if you'd rather say what happened and let the journal keep the books — with friends in the loop.
