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.

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.
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 :(
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...
