Momentum vs Streaks
Momentum vs Streaks
Streaks is the iOS habit tracker with the Apple Design Award. It is beautiful, simple, and ticks boxes. Momentum is heavier, sharper, and scores your actual execution. Both have a place — but they solve different problems.
What Streaks does well
Twelve habits, daily checkmarks, gorgeous UI, deep iOS integration including HealthKit. Best in class for users who just want a clean, low-friction way to check off floss, meditate, and walk 10k steps. One-time purchase, no subscription.
What Momentum does differently
Weighted scoring across six inputs that compound — sleep, deep work, training, nutrition, output, focus — not a flat checklist. A daily 0–10 score that tells you whether the day was actually a win. Weekly Friday/Saturday reports that explain your patterns. Optional Ruthless Mode for users who want sharper feedback. Built for execution, not just habit logging.
Which one to pick
Pick Streaks if you want a pretty checkbox app for low-stakes habits. Pick Momentum if you want a system that grades whether you executed, surfaces your weakest input, and stays useful at month six. Many users keep Streaks for tiny habits and run Momentum for the things that change their life.

Frequently asked
Is Streaks enough on its own?
If your goal is logging tiny habits, yes. If your goal is fixing execution across the inputs that decide your year, no.
Why isn't Momentum just $4.99?
Because Momentum runs AI scoring, weekly reports, body tracking, and a continuous backend. It's not a static iOS app.
