The free habit tracker that actually stays free.

Most habit trackers let you try a few features before locking the rest behind a paywall. Arete doesn't. Every feature is free. No trial period, no premium tier, no "upgrade to unlock streaks."

You get habit tracking, streak counting, progress visualization, and more. No account needed. Your data stays on your device.

Privacy by default

Arete stores your data on your device. There's no account to create, no email to hand over, and no server storing your habits. You can optionally sync across devices, but it's never required.

More than habits

Arete also includes a full workout logger with built-in programs, an AI-powered nutrition tracker that calculates macros from plain English, and an AI coach that gives personalized advice based on your actual data. All free. All in one app.
