Fabulous started as a habit tracker and grew into a coaching and self-care platform, and that shapes who it suits. Instead of a blank list, it builds morning, afternoon and evening routines and walks you through them, backed by a coaching library of short series on anxiety, self-love, productivity and depression. You also get a gratitude journal, a to-do list, short workouts, breathing exercises, affirmations and a goal tracker. Premium adds unlimited habits for your routines, more coaching programs and personal one-on-one coaching, and the website mentions booking sessions with a live coach. The app began at Duke University's Center for Advanced Hindsight and holds an Apple Editors' Choice badge with a 4.4 rating from 90K reviews. For someone who only wants to tick off habits, it is a lot: the iPhone download is 660.6 MB, and the US App Store lists many Premium prices, so we marked pricing as pending.
