Ahonui vs ยท Streaks
The Streaks alternative that blocks the app until it is done
Streaks reads Apple Health and ticks the habit off for you. Ahonui reads it too, and keeps the apps you pick blocked until the habit is done.
If you're looking for a Streaks alternative, you probably like Streaks. It won an Apple Design Award, and deserved it. You pick up to 24 tasks, and each day you do one, its streak grows.
It reads Apple Health too, so a walk or a glass of water ticks itself off.
The trouble is the day you skip it. The streak resets, and Instagram was open the whole time.
Four glasses down. TikTok opens at eight.
A streak keeps score. It doesn't stop the scroll.
Streaks is a good habit tracker: tasks on the days you choose, stats, widgets and Apple Watch, for one price.
But it never gets between you and the app you open instead. It only keeps a record, and missing a day just costs you a streak after the fact.
Ahonui puts the habit between you and the app
No water, no TikTok.
You pick a habit and the apps that wait for it. They stay blocked until the habit is done.
- Run with Strava. When your 30 minutes reach Apple Health, Instagram is unblocked.
- Water, fasting, sleep, weigh-ins and meditation work the same way.
- Each habit still has its own streak, so you keep the count.
Same habits. The difference is that something's riding on them.

Which one is for you
If you already keep your habits and want a good record, stay with Streaks. You pay once and it's on every Apple device. If you want to track 24 things, Streaks has room.
If the same app beats your habit every day, a streak won't fix that. Block the app until the habit is done.
