I recommend also something similar in terms of time: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.razeeman.util.simpletimetracker/

Thank you, that looks excellent. I have just set it up for my exercise schedules.
I do use it for tracking studying time or cycling.
There are great app recommendations here. Perhaps not the habit tracking type, but I love FitoTrack for tracking my runs. No social, no BS, just pure local metrics. Not perfect but entirely usable and serves its purpose.

Edit: what I love most about all these apps is that they are so lightweight. I have so many apps today which are well above 100MB, sometimes around 500MB and I'm not talking games.
This is so outrageous to me. All of these open source apps by comparison are 10MB or less. Absolutely beautiful.
This is an excellent app and I also use it. I create GPS breadcrumb trails and then animate them with another app on my computer after I export them. I can't remember the name of it as it's all automatically scripted now. The export goes to a syncthing folder which then goes to my computer and when the computer sees the new files it automatically creates an MPEG video.
Oh very interesting! How cool :) Do you then host some kind of website for people to view your animated progress in real time as you run?
Only for family. I can't post here. Doxing etc
It is cool though. Much fun
Oh I didn't mean to ask for the link, I just meant to get more information about what you were doing with it, totally understandable! Anyway, cool project!

I'm pretty sure this is it. It can run via GUI or command line. I
I wish I could get my polar H10 to work with it... For now I have to use the polar app and export manually via the web interface...
Yes!! I wish there were more open source options to interface with fitness trackers and smart watches... I'm upset about all this proprietary crap forcing you to share your data with the manufacturer and depend on their availability and goodwill to access our data... Very frustrating :(
Gadgetbridge in just about the only one.
The problem is that the watches themselves use proprietary BS Bluetooth protocols with their own cryptic values to stop people from decoding their own devices unless you use their app...
Track & Graph has some more options to choose from : https://f-droid.org/packages/com.samco.trackandgraph/
i use both
Installed it, seems simple and efficient!
Would be nice to see all stats at the same time (and machine learning predicting them in the near future ...).
I use Table Habit to track my habits: https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.friesi23.mhabit
It has a good looking interface and charts too.
OK but what does it do?
It counts.
+1
Counts what?
Whatever you want. You did ten pushups.. add it to the counter, ate sweets... add it to the counter. So it doesn't count anything automatically, it just gives you a simple interface to keep track of stuff.
Oh. Cool.
It serves butter.
What is 2+2 minus 1
For daily habit tracking, I've been using Loop Habit Tracker for almost four years now and really like it. Probably not the same use case as a counter app, but while we're on the subject I thought I'd give it a shoutout.
