Beaver Habit Tracker
Self-hosted habit tracker focused on simple daily check-ins
Beaver Habit Tracker is a lightweight, self-hosted web app for tracking habits through simple daily completion rather than goal-setting. It focuses on a fast, minimal workflow for marking habits done and reviewing streaks over time.
Key Features
- Simple habit tracking model without goal definitions
- Streak-focused history view for daily check-ins
- Flexible storage options, including SQLite database or local JSON on disk
- Optional authentication bypass for trusted local setups
- Runs well in containers and supports common self-hosting setups
- Community integrations and derivatives (for example, home automation triggers and external control surfaces)
Use Cases
- Personal habit tracking with a minimalist “mark as done” workflow
- Household or small-team habit checklists on a shared self-hosted instance
- Integrating habit completion into automations (for example, triggering a completion from another system)
Limitations and Considerations
- Intentionally avoids goal-based planning features; users needing targets, schedules, or advanced analytics may find it too minimal
Beaver Habit Tracker is a solid choice if you want a small, easy-to-run habit tracker that prioritizes speed and simplicity. Its storage flexibility and container-friendly deployment make it well-suited for homelabs and lightweight personal setups.
