I’ve been using HabitNow since February and it’s a nice app. But I’d much prefer a FOSS alternative. The problem is that I’d like to keep my streak from HabitNow and apps either don’t let you mark in the past or they require multiple clicks.

So far I’ve tried Loop Habit and Habit builder. These both fall in the “multiple clicks” camp.

Are there any other options to consider or should I just start clicking away at the 250+ days I’ve succeeded?

EDIT: habit builder does have a reasonably easy way to tap previous days that I missed. But has no reminders or notifications that I can find.

    That reasoning is precisely why I started using Obsidian. I was keeping notes in Google Keep and a journal in Day One. Both of which require exporting to get into a more universal format. Obsidian uses plain text files, which is great for my use case. Yes, I know it’s not FOSS. But it fit my flow better than Logseq and Joplin hides the markdown in a db that also needs an export (plus the android app is awful).

    Unfortunately, there’s not a very smooth way to track habits in Obsidian even with plugins. There are a few available but they’re all pretty clunky, so I’ve skipped on them.
