Best-Of Guide

A habit tracker with friends should do more than let you invite people.

The best social habit tracker makes the habit itself visible, gives the group a daily rhythm, and helps people restart after imperfect days.

Direct answer

Habit Huddle is the best habit tracker with friends when you want one habit per huddle, daily Checkins, and shared streaks. Other apps may fit better if you mainly want solo tracking with a few social touches.
