# Multi vs Streaks

Streaks is a focused, single-purpose habit checklist. Multi is tasks, habits, a budget and workouts in one iPhone app. Here is where each one actually wins, feature by feature, not just on paper.

## Where Streaks gets it right

### Genuinely simple

Streaks does one thing, a grid of habits you tap, and does it with almost no learning curve. It won an Apple Design Award for exactly that restraint, and restraint is a real design achievement, not a lack of ambition.

### Automatic completion via Apple Health

Habits tied to steps, workouts or sleep can tick themselves off using HealthKit data, so some days you don't open the app at all and your streak is still accurate.

## Where Multi is different

### It stops at habits

Streaks has no task list, no expense tracking and no workout logging. If your day also includes one-off errands, a monthly budget or a lifting plan, you're back to three or four apps, which is the exact fragmentation a habit tracker is supposed to reduce.

### A missed day is a missed day

Streaks has no retroactive editing window, so a habit you genuinely did but forgot to log stays unlogged. Multi's Catch Up keeps the last seven days open per habit, so an honest correction doesn't cost you the streak.

## The honest verdict

Streaks is a good call if habits are the only thing you want to track and you want the smallest possible app to do it in. If your day also includes tasks, a budget or workouts, you'll end up running Streaks alongside two or three other apps, which is the problem Multi is built to remove.

## Common questions

### Is Multi a replacement for Streaks?

For habit tracking specifically, yes, Multi covers the same daily-checklist ground Streaks does. The difference is what sits around it, tasks, a budget and workout tracking live in the same app rather than a separate download.

### Does Multi support Apple Health like Streaks does?

Yes, Multi reads Apple Health data for relevant habits and for the Train tab's workout history.

### Can I import my Streaks data into Multi?

There's no direct import today. Recreating a handful of habits in Multi's Today view takes a couple of minutes; the app is built around a quick line-based entry gesture specifically to make that fast.

[Multi is free to download on the App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/multi-habit-tracker-to-do/id6800831904), with a free tier that covers real daily use.
