Compare / To-dos and habits in one app
The best apps that combine a to‑do list and habit tracker in 2026
The best apps that combine a to-do list and a habit tracker in 2026 are TickTick for a polished all-in-one planner on every platform, Levla if you want both to power an idle RPG, and HabitNow for a simple, focused combination on Android. Habitica does both as a classic RPG, Amazing Marvin suits people who want to build their own system, Lunatask adds journaling and end-to-end encryption, and Todoist is the best pure task manager if basic habit tracking is enough.
Levla is our app. We've tried to describe every app here fairly, including where Levla isn't the best fit.

Why keep both in one app
Habits and to-dos compete for the same hours. Keeping them together means one list to check each morning, one set of reminders, and a clearer sense of whether you're taking on too much. The trade-off is that all-in-one apps are rarely the very best at both jobs, so decide which half matters more to you.
Look for habits with flexible schedules and streaks, one-off tasks with due dates, priorities and reminders, a single daily view that shows both, and stats that show whether you're keeping up.

Common questions
FAQ
What's the best app for both to-dos and habit tracking?
TickTick is the most complete all-in-one planner and works on every platform. Levla combines both with an idle RPG for motivation, and HabitNow is a simple, popular option on Android.
Is there a free app that does to-dos and habits?
Yes. Levla's habits and to-dos are free and unlimited, with no ads. TickTick, HabitNow, Habitica and Lunatask also have free versions, some with limits on how many habits you can track.
Can Todoist track habits?
Partly. Recurring tasks work for habits, and the optional Habit Tracker extension shows streaks, but a streak resets if the task becomes overdue or is postponed. For deeper habit tracking, TickTick or Levla are better fits.
Should I use separate apps for habits and to-dos?
It depends. Separate apps can each be better at one job, but a single app means one daily list and one set of reminders, which many people find easier to stick with.
Which to-do and habit app is best for iPhone?
TickTick, Levla, Habitica and Lunatask all work well on iPhone. HabitNow is Android-only.
