Habitica

Habitica has done a stellar job of gamifying habit formation.

The Good:

Fun, RPG-like habit tracking. Lose health when you break habits, gain levels and EXP when you keep them. Buy equipment and items for your character.
Immersive features and add-ons. Join Guilds, Parties, Taverns, etc., which are social groups/chats of people with common interests, and build habits together.

The Bad:

Punishment for breaking habits is too light.

RescueTime

RescueTime is a time tracker that logs and visualizes the amount of time you spend on applications or websites.

The Good:

Accurate tracking on all major operating systems, phone OSes, and Chrome/Firefox. All of this data you’re seeing above is tracking my activity across all of my computers, all browsers, and cell phone.
Powerful, flexible timelines and scopes. The daily dashboard is the default, but you can zoom out to Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly reports.

The Bad:

Can’t block native apps

Todoist

The To-do List App with loads of features.

The Good:

Recurring Tasks and Other Complex Scheduling. You can have tasks that recur every day, every few weeks, on specific days of the week, etc. It’s really flexible and powerful.
Tasks automatically move to “Today” on due date. You can set due dates on tasks, and they will automatically move into the “Today” list, making it useful for autopilot task doers like myself.
Next 7 Days Section.

The Bad:

Subtasks disappear when you mark them as complete.

YourHour (Android) & Moment (iOS)

YourHour for Android and Moment for iOS are two fantastic phone usage tracking apps that, unlike RescueTime, can block your phone’s native apps.

The ability to actually block apps. I can’t stress how important this feature is. You can easily ignore notifications, but actually have the app blocked? That works wonders.
Granular trend tracking.

The Bad:

Long-term, strategic visualization weak.
