A stress-free habit tracker without goals, self-hosted and privacy-first.
Core Features
- No goals or streaks pressure – just track daily actions
- Self-hosted via Docker, full control over data
- Cloud SaaS option available at beaverhabits.com
- Flexible storage: SQLite or JSON files
- REST API for automation and integrations
What It Can't Do
- •Ensure the container user UID matches the host folder owner to avoid permission issues. By default, no authentication is required; set TRUSTED_LOCAL_EMAIL or other env vars for security.
Use Cases
- Daily habit tracking (drink water, read, exercise)
- Integrate with smart home or macro keys for quick logging
- Ideal for users overwhelmed by rigid goal-based apps
- Share a habit board within a team or family via self-hosted instance
Beaver Habit Tracker is a self-hosted habit tracking application designed to help you build routines without the pressure of goals. It offers a clean, minimal interface for daily check-ins, focusing on the process rather than outcomes. You can self-host via Docker or use the cloud SaaS version. It supports multiple storage backends (SQLite or JSON file), provides a REST API, and integrates with Stream Deck, Apple Shortcuts, Home Assistant, and more. Inspired by Loop Habit Tracker, Beaver improves on simplicity and extensibility.
