XP TRACKERXP Tracker vs Loop Habit Tracker
Loop is a free, open-source and minimal habit tracker for Android, loved for its habit score and clean charts. XP Tracker is a habit RPG for iPhone and Android. If you want a quiet tracker you control fully, Loop is hard to beat.
We make XP Tracker. Loop facts were checked against its open-source project page (github.com/iSoron/uhabits) in November 2026.
A clean tracker, or a game
Loop Habit Tracker is a mobile habit tracker for Android. Its project page describes a minimal, lightweight interface, a habit score that grows with every repetition and shrinks with missed days, flexible schedules such as three times a week or every other day, a reminder per habit, home-screen widgets, and data export to CSV or SQLite. It is completely ad-free and open source, with no in-app purchases and no limit on how many habits you track. It's available on Google Play and F-Droid.
XP Tracker is a habit RPG for iPhone and Android. Your daily habits are quests. Finishing them earns XP that levels a hero from one of eight classes, damages the current boss and unlocks the next panel of your class's comic, and levels and boss wins drop gear and pet eggs to collect. It has an ending: about 8 to 14 months for all eight classes, after which your hero is immortalized in the Hall of Heroes, ranked by when you finished.
Loop measures your habits. XP Tracker turns them into a game.

Who should pick Loop
- You want a free, open-source tracker with no ads and no purchases.
- You already know which habits you want and just need to log them.
- You like charts and a habit score more than characters and stories.
- You want widgets and full control of your data.
Who should pick XP Tracker
- Plain trackers bore you after a week, and you need a reason to come back.
- You'd like a ready-made daily program instead of designing one.
- You want bosses, loot, pets and a comic story tied to real effort.
- You're on iPhone, or you want App Lock for distracting apps.
Moving from Loop to XP Tracker
- List the habits you kept longest in Loop. Those are your real habits. Many will already be core quests, like reading, training or meditating.
- Set honest targets. In onboarding you set where you start and where you want to get to. Use your Loop history to pick a start you know you can keep.
- Add the rest. Tap + Add a quest for habits like Drink water, Floss or Take your meds, or make a custom quest.
- Keep Loop's lesson. A missed day after a long run isn't the end. In XP Tracker it costs only that day's XP.
