A HabitNow alternative
for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
HabitNow is a capable habit and routine planner, but it is Android-first and has no first-party iPhone app. If you've moved to Apple, Taskful Day covers the daily plan: recurring tasks, reminders, and a Today list where unfinished tasks carry forward on their own. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch, with no account.

About Taskful Day
Questions
FAQ
Is there a HabitNow app for iPhone?
HabitNow is an Android-first habit, task, and routine planner distributed on Google Play, and there is no first-party iPhone version. If you're switching to iPhone or already use Apple devices, Taskful Day covers the daily-planning side. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch, with iCloud Sync in Pro.
What is the best HabitNow alternative on iPhone?
Taskful Day is a good fit for someone coming from HabitNow who mainly plans the day. It has recurring tasks, reminders you can complete or snooze from the notification, and a Today list where unfinished tasks carry forward on their own. It needs no account and runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. Its habit statistics are lighter than HabitNow's, and it keeps the focus on a single day.
Does Taskful Day handle habits, tasks, and routines like HabitNow?
Partly. Taskful Day plans tasks by the day, and recurring tasks can repeat daily, weekly, every two weeks, monthly, on a custom interval, or on the days you choose. A recurring task that slips keeps its original rhythm when it carries over. Analytics shows completion rate, trends, and a current and best streak, but not HabitNow's detailed per-habit statistics.
Does Taskful Day require an account?
No. Taskful Day works without an account and carries no ads, analytics, or third-party SDKs. Your tasks stay on the device unless you turn on iCloud Sync, a Pro feature that uses your own private iCloud.
Can I move my HabitNow data into Taskful Day?
There's no direct import, because HabitNow is an Android app with its own data model. The practical way to migrate is to recreate your daily anchors in Taskful Day as recurring tasks. Type a sentence such as "stretch tomorrow 7am" to fill in the date and time, then set it to repeat. Taskful Day can also import your incomplete Apple Reminders once.
How does Taskful Day's pricing compare to HabitNow?
Taskful Day is free to download and lets you create up to 50 tasks in total for free. Pro costs $2.99 a month, $24.99 a year, or $39.99 once, and adds unlimited tasks, iCloud Sync, the visual day views, and 21 Home Screen widgets. Every new install gets 7 days of Pro free with no card. HabitNow is free on Android, with a one-time premium unlock for unlimited habits and features.
