    There are great app recommendations here.
    Perhaps not the habit tracking type, but I love FitoTrack for tracking my runs. No social, no BS, just pure local metrics. Not perfect but entirely usable and serves its purpose.

    https://f-droid.org/packages/de.tadris.fitness

    Edit: what I love most about all these apps is that they are so lightweight. I have so many apps today which are well above 100MB, sometimes around 500MB and I'm not talking games.

    This is so outrageous to me. All of these open source apps by comparison are 10MB or less. Absolutely beautiful.

      This is an excellent app and I also use it. I create GPS breadcrumb trails and then animate them with another app on my computer after I export them. I can't remember the name of it as it's all automatically scripted now. The export goes to a syncthing folder which then goes to my computer and when the computer sees the new files it automatically creates an MPEG video.

        I wish I could get my polar H10 to work with it... For now I have to use the polar app and export manually via the web interface...

          Yes!! I wish there were more open source options to interface with fitness trackers and smart watches... I'm upset about all this proprietary crap forcing you to share your data with the manufacturer and depend on their availability and goodwill to access our data... Very frustrating 😞

            Oh very interesting! How cool 🙂
            Do you then host some kind of website for people to view your animated progress in real time as you run?

                  Oh I didn't mean to ask for the link, I just meant to get more information about what you were doing with it, totally understandable! Anyway, cool project!

                    Gadgetbridge in just about the only one.

                    The problem is that the watches themselves use proprietary BS Bluetooth protocols with their own cryptic values to stop people from decoding their own devices unless you use their app...
