Strides review

Strides, from Goals LLC, has been built since 2011 and says over a million people have used it. Its four tracker types make it broader than a streak counter: Habit for repeating actions, Target for a number by a date, Average for a repeating number such as sleep hours, and Project for milestones by a date. Target trackers show a pace line so you can see whether you are ahead or behind. The Daily Goals view filters every tracker down to what needs logging now, which suits a morning or evening check-in. There are 150+ templates, unlimited reminders and Apple Health integration. The help center says it is free forever to track your top three goals and habits, and Strides Plus removes that limit and adds sync, backups, progress reports, tags and filters, as a monthly or annual subscription or a one-time Lifetime plan. The App Store lists several Strides Plus prices, so we marked the price pending.
