OpenHabitTracker Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy OpenHabitTracker hosting and keep your notes, tasks and habits in a private open-source app with no ads, trackers or subscriptions. xCloud runs the pinned OpenHabitTracker 1.2.5 image behind HTTPS on your own domain, creates the login user from the username, email and timezone you enter, generates the password and keeps the SQLite data on a persistent volume. You then sign in at /login and add your first note, task or habit.

What is OpenHabitTracker?

OpenHabitTracker is a notes, tasks and habit tracker. Upstream describes it as free and open source, with no ads, trackers, subscriptions or in-app purchases, and Markdown notes, tasks with a date, duration, checklist and timer, and habits measured by how overdue they are rather than by an unbroken streak. It imports and exports JSON, YAML, TSV and Markdown, and reads a Google Keep Takeout ZIP. Self-hosted OpenHabitTracker is GPL-3.0 software you run instead of a subscription habit tracker.

On xCloud it is OpenHabitTracker 1.2.5, the upstream Docker image pinned by digest: one Blazor Server container for one user, with the SQLite database and sign-in keys on the openhabittracker_data volume. You sign in at /login with the generated password, and there is no public registration. Device sync from the desktop and mobile apps does not work against this version.

From Sign-Up to Your Private Habit Tracker In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting OpenHabitTracker normally means a Docker host, a domain, a certificate and a login to set up by hand. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick OpenHabitTracker from the OneClick catalog. Enter a username (default admin), an email and a timezone (default UTC).
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the pinned OpenHabitTracker 1.2.5 image over HTTPS on your domain, with persistent storage ready.
Step 03
Sign In And Start Tracking
Open /login on your domain with the generated password, then create your first note, task or habit or import existing data.

What You Can Do With OpenHabitTracker

Track habits without losing progress to one miss
Follow habits by how overdue they are, so a missed day lowers a percentage instead of resetting a streak to zero.
Keep notes, tasks and habits in one place
Write Markdown notes, plan tasks with a duration and timer, and check habits from one login on a server only you use.
Move a Google Keep archive to your own server
Import a Google Keep Takeout ZIP, or JSON, YAML, TSV and Markdown exports, up to 50 MiB per file, and keep the notes on your volume.
Leave a subscription habit app
Use a tracker that upstream says has no ads, no trackers and no subscriptions, with data stored in a SQLite file you can back up.

OpenHabitTracker vs Alternatives

Subscription habit trackers: Subscription habit trackers charge monthly and keep your data on their servers. Upstream says OpenHabitTracker has no ads, trackers or subscriptions, and here its data stays on your own volume.
Habitica: Habitica has its own OneClick page and turns habits, dailies and to-dos into a role-playing game with parties and quests. OpenHabitTracker is a plainer single-user tracker that scores habits by how overdue they are.
Beaver Habit Tracker: Beaver Habit Tracker has its own OneClick page, with completion history, notes and tags. OpenHabitTracker adds Markdown notes, tasks with timers and habit statistics charts in one app.
Vikunja: Vikunja has its own OneClick page and centres on task and project management. OpenHabitTracker is for one person's notes, tasks and habits, with a single login and no sharing.

Hear what people are saying about us

See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.

xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!

Brian Geovanny

I've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.

Kevin Pineda

I'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting

How Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud

Ed Ellingham

xCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.

Dumitru Butucel

xCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.

Waqar Ahmed

Trust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍

Rahul Singh

So far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.

Massimo Villa

Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.

Gerson El

I've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.

Tony Lewis

I came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.

Jared McDowell

I like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose

How Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently

Kevin Heinrichs

I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.

Dan Spinoza

Dear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.

Rahil Maknojia

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

xCloud gave me what no other hosting platform could: the flexibility of a VPS with the convenience of managed WordPress. As a solo founder running an entire business on one server, that combination is an important unfair advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Can you self-host OpenHabitTracker with Docker?

Yes, upstream publishes a Docker image that contains a Blazor Server app for one user, and this template is OpenHabitTracker Docker hosting ready to use: the 1.2.5 image pinned by digest, one data volume and HTTPS. It gives you your own OpenHabitTracker cloud instead of the upstream web app.

How much RAM does OpenHabitTracker need?

The template manifest asks for 1 CPU core, 512 MB of RAM and 5 GB of disk. Idle use measured in QA was about 91 MB, with a peak of 242 MiB. The 6 GB plan is the entry rung, leaving ample room beside other apps on the server.

Is OpenHabitTracker free?

Yes. Upstream describes it as free and open source, under GPL-3.0, with no ads, trackers, subscriptions or in-app purchases. The only cost is the Cloud VPS hosting it, which you can cancel any time. Your notes sit in a SQLite file on your volume.

How is OpenHabitTracker different from a streak-based habit app?

It scores habits by how overdue they are rather than by an unbroken streak. A habit with a 10-day interval that is 2 days overdue reads 120%, so one missed day does not reset your progress to zero the way a streak counter would.

How do I sign in to OpenHabitTracker?

Open /login on your domain and use the username you chose at install, plus the generated password from the xCloud credentials panel. There is no public registration, so the app stays private to that one login. Changing the username or email later does not rename the stored user.

Can multiple people use OpenHabitTracker?

No. The Docker image is a Blazor Server app for one user, with a single seeded login and no public registration. If a household or team needs separate accounts, run a separate install for each person, or choose a multi-user tool such as Vikunja for tasks.

Vikunja hosting

Does OpenHabitTracker sync with the mobile app?

Not in version 1.2.5. The self-hosted server's token API issues tokens that its own endpoints reject, so desktop and mobile device sync does not work yet. Use the web app in any browser, and export JSON or YAML from inside the app if you want a copy.

Can I import my data into OpenHabitTracker?

Yes. Upstream imports JSON, YAML, TSV and Markdown, plus a Google Keep Takeout ZIP, and the template allows uploads up to 50 MiB per file. Exports come back out in the same JSON, YAML, TSV and Markdown formats, so you are not locked in.

Why do I need to change the start page?

In 1.2.5 only the page chosen under Settings, then Start page, stays open; other pages redirect back to it. Change the start page whenever you want to move between Notes, Tasks and Habits. This is upstream behaviour in this version, not a setting xCloud controls.

How do I back up OpenHabitTracker?

Back up the openhabittracker_data volume, which holds OpenHT.db with your notes, tasks, habits and login, plus the ASP.NET Data Protection keys. Keep your environment values with it, and export JSON or YAML from inside the app as a second copy you can read anywhere.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade OpenHabitTracker?

The install stays on pinned 1.2.5 until you adopt a newer template version. Back up openhabittracker_data first and read the upstream release notes, especially on device sync. The redeploy keeps the volume, and existing sites are never upgraded automatically.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no lock-in — cancel any time. Hosting is billed monthly and charged for what you actually use, so when you delete the server the unused balance is refunded to your account, less up to 10% in payment-processing fees.
