Keizoku vs Streaks
Last updated: August 2026
Streaks is a habit tracker for Apple devices that treats habits like a daily to-do list, with the unbroken chain as the core motivator. Keizoku works differently: a notebook-style monthly grid on iOS and Android, with no streaks at all. If chains genuinely keep you going and you live fully in the Apple ecosystem, Streaks does that job well. For everyone else, Keizoku is the clean and simple option: a missed day is one empty box on your grid, not a reset to zero, and you can start tracking in about two minutes.

Common questions
I keep losing my streak and quitting. Which app handles that better?
Honestly, it depends on what a lost streak does to you. Some people lose one and come back harder the next day. Streaks is built for them. But if a broken chain is usually the moment you delete the app, Keizoku removes the mechanic entirely. There is nothing to lose, so there is nothing to quit over. Same goal, opposite bet on motivation.
Why doesn't Keizoku have streaks?
Because a broken streak is discouraging enough that a lot of people quit over one. In Keizoku, a missed day shows up as one empty box on your monthly grid. The rest of your progress is still right there, and the next day is a fresh box. Nothing resets.
Is Streaks available on Android?
No. Streaks runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro. Keizoku is on both iOS and Android, so if you use an Android phone or might switch platforms, Keizoku is the practical choice of the two.
How does the pricing compare?
Streaks is a paid app with a one-time purchase, which is a fair deal if you know you want it. Keizoku is free for up to 5 habits with no time limit, and Pro is an optional upgrade for unlimited habits, 8 themes, and iCloud sync on iOS. See each app's App Store page for current prices.
