Beaver Habit Tracker

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.
