Beaver Habit Tracker

Self-hosted habit tracking app without "Goals"

Alternative to: streaks, habitica, loop habit tracker

BeaverHabits is a minimalist, self-hosted habit tracker inspired by the Loop Habit Tracker mobile app. It focuses on simply logging whether a habit was done each day, with periodic habits, notes, reordering, and category organization, deliberately skipping goal-based gamification.
