Habit tracker vs daily planner: two different jobs
A habit tracker asks whether you came back to something you repeat. A daily planner asks how today fits together. Most people need one more than the other.

A habit tracker is about repetition
You define a few actions you want to repeat, mark what happened, and look at the history. The unit is the habit, and the question is whether it keeps going over weeks.
The hard moment for a habit tracker is the day after a miss. That is where most habits end.
A daily planner is about one day
Tasks, appointments and time blocks change every day. A planner helps you see what has to happen today, when there is room for it, and what can move.
The hard moment for a planner is the afternoon when everything runs late.
When you need both
If your habits keep losing to a busy schedule, seeing them in the same day helps. Habits take time too, and a plan that ignores them pushes them out first.
LilCoach is a habit tracker with an optional day plan. You turn the plan on in settings, and your habits, tasks, events and focus blocks share Today. Each habit keeps its minimum, so on a crowded day it shrinks instead of disappearing.

How to choose
If your main question is “Did I keep this up?”, start with a habit tracker. If it is “What fits today?”, start with a planner. If your habits keep stopping after one missed day, the part that matters most is what the app does the next morning.
