Keizoku vs Grit
Last updated: May 2026
Grit is a solid habit tracker with detailed analytics and lots of customization. Keizoku is built around the opposite philosophy: fewer options, less to configure, and a notebook-style grid you can use without thinking about it. Grit is great if you want depth and data. Keizoku is for people who want to open the app, mark today done, and close it.

Common questions
Is Keizoku trying to replace Grit?
No. Grit is a capable habit tracker for people who want depth and customization. Keizoku is built for the opposite preference: minimal configuration, one way to track each habit, and a clean grid view. Different tools for different temperaments.
Does Keizoku have charts and analytics?
No. Keizoku shows your habits as a monthly grid. You can see at a glance which habits you've kept and which days you missed, but there are no charts, scores, or weekly reports. The grid itself is the dashboard.
How does Keizoku's free tier compare to Grit's?
Keizoku's free tier lets you track up to 5 habits, with no time limit and no ads. Pro unlocks unlimited habits, 8 notebook themes, iCloud sync, and data export. Grit also offers a free tier with paid upgrades, though specific limits aren't published on its site. See the App Store for current Pro pricing.
Can I switch between different tracking modes in Keizoku?
No. Each habit is tracked the same way: did you do it today or not. This is intentional. If you need to track durations, counts, or units, Grit has more flexibility there.
Is Grit available on Android?
No. Grit is Apple-only (iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision). Keizoku is on both iOS and Android, so if you have an Android device or share habits across mixed-platform devices, Keizoku is the more practical option.
Try Keizoku free on iOS or Android. Up to 5 habits, no account, no ads.
