Three Lights vs Done
Done is built around counting: how many glasses of water, how many workouts, how long the streak is. That's motivating right up until the day you break the chain. Three Lights takes the pressure off — one green, yellow or red light per habit, and a missed day is just a red, not a failure.

When Done is the better choice
If you're all-in on Apple devices, like Apple Watch complications, and genuinely respond to counting repetitions and defending a streak, Done is a polished choice.
When Three Lights is the better choice
- • Breaking a streak has made you abandon a habit app before.
- • You use a mix of devices, or want it on a laptop browser.
- • You want a partner or family member in it with you.
- • You want reflection at the end of the day, not tapping all day long.
FAQ
How is Three Lights different from Done?
Done counts how many times you did something each day and rewards long streaks. Three Lights asks one question per habit — was today green, yellow or red? — and treats a missed day as information, not failure.
Is Three Lights available on Android and the web?
Yes. Three Lights runs in any browser and installs on both iOS and Android. Done is an Apple-platform app.
Does Three Lights punish me for breaking a streak?
No. Streaks reset quietly and the app never shames you for a gap. Consistency over months matters more than an unbroken chain.
What does Pro cost?
$2.99 per month with a 7-day free trial. Pricing is monthly only — no yearly or lifetime plans.
