Keizoku vs HabitKit
Last updated: August 2026
HabitKit is a well-made habit tracker from indie developer Sebastian Röhl, built around GitHub-style tile grids that fill in as you check habits off. Keizoku shares a lot of its philosophy: local data, no account, a grid you want to fill. The difference is the details. HabitKit shows streaks and packs a year of tiny tiles onto each card. Keizoku uses a notebook-style monthly grid with no streaks at all, for people who want clean and simple tracking where a missed day is just an empty box.

Common questions
HabitKit and Keizoku look similar. What is actually different?
Less than you might think, and that is a compliment to both. HabitKit keeps your data local, skips the account, and gives you a grid you want to fill in, which is exactly Keizoku's philosophy. The real differences are streaks and the grid itself. HabitKit shows streak counts and a year of GitHub-style tiles per habit. Keizoku has no streaks anywhere and shows one notebook-style month at a time. Pick whichever grid you would rather look at every day.
How is Keizoku's grid different from HabitKit's?
HabitKit shows each habit as a card with a year of small tiles, like a GitHub contribution graph. Keizoku shows a notebook-style monthly grid, closer to a paper habit tracker where you cross off each day. HabitKit gives you the long view per habit; Keizoku gives you the current month in more detail.
Does Keizoku show streaks like HabitKit does?
No. Keizoku has no streaks, points, or counters anywhere in the app. This is intentional. A broken streak is discouraging for a lot of people, and it is often the moment they abandon a habit app. In Keizoku, a missed day is one empty box on the grid, and the next day is a fresh box.
Do I need an account for either app?
No. Both apps work without an account and keep your data on your device, which is genuinely rare in this category. Keizoku Pro users on iOS get optional iCloud sync to their own iCloud account.
