Strides review
A feature-rich goal tracker for Apple users, with limited platform coverage.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Strides is a goal and habit tracking app for people who want structured ways to organize routines, monitor progress, and work toward SMART goals. It supports habit, target, average, and project trackers, with project milestones, percentages, and checklists. The app also includes reminders, a daily goals view, tracker templates, progress reports, charts, streaks, success rates, calendars, line charts, goal notes, and data export. Accountability partner sharing and collaboration add a useful option for shared goals. Its intended audience is Apple users who want detailed personal tracking across macOS and iOS.
Pricing follows a freemium model. The Free plan supports tracking three goals and habits. Strides Plus adds unlimited goals and habits along with premium features, while the Lifetime plan adds unlimited goals and habits plus lifetime access to premium features. The published category pricing shows a starting price of 4.99, while purchase prices can vary by country and the US App Store lists multiple Strides Plus prices. The key distinction is between limited free tracking and paid access to broader tracking and premium functionality.
Apple ecosystem fit is a central strength. Strides supports macOS and iOS, with Apple Health and iCloud integrations, and its Plus plan includes synchronization and backup through iCloud. That combination suits users already working across Apple devices. The trade-off is platform coverage: users outside the macOS and iOS ecosystem should choose a goal tracker with broader device support. Strides is also more focused on ongoing tracking, progress views, reminders, and accountability than on dedicated goal-review workflows, so it fits people who want recurring visibility into habits and targets rather than formal review processes.
