Me+ vs LazyHabits: Routine Planner or Habit System?

What is Me+ Lifestyle Routine?

Me+ Lifestyle Routine is a self-care app that combines a daily routine planner, a habit tracker and a mood and progress tracker. It is made by Enerjoy Pte. Ltd. and opens its App Store description with a line attributed to Aristotle: "We are what we repeatedly do."

According to its App Store listing, Me+ lets you:

• Create your own daily and morning routines
• Track your self-care plan, daily habits, mood and progress
• Set reminders in your daily planner for your to-do list
• Read evidence-based self-care information on habits and routines
• Take an MBTI test to find routines and habits that suit you
• Customize habits with your own icons and colors

Me+ is free to download. Its VIP features need an auto-renewing subscription, listed in the US App Store at $9.99 per month or $39.99 per year. It runs on iPhone and iPad.

What is LazyHabits?

LazyHabits is an iPhone habit tracker designed around the idea that you should fix the system, not yourself. Instead of planning your whole day, it helps you make a few small habits stick and gives you a built-in way to adjust them.

Every habit gets a day, a time, a place, a duration, a reward and something to make it enjoyable, like music or a podcast. You start with 2 to 3 habits, and the app warns you if you add too many too soon. New ideas wait in the Backlog. You can choose one High Impact Habit, the habit that sets off a chain reaction (such as a fixed bedtime), which earns extra points. Points grow your Lazy Buddy from Seed to Mighty Oak. Break days are built in, and streaks only count scheduled days, so a miss never erases your points or level.

How do Me+ and LazyHabits compare?

Me+ is a broad self-care planner; LazyHabits is a narrow habit system with a review loop. The table below compares them using each app's App Store listing.

How does the Master Habit compare with how Me+ handles reviewing habits?

Me+ tracks your habits, mood and progress day by day; the LazyHabits Master Habit adds a scheduled weekly check-in where you rate each habit and redesign the ones that are slipping. Tracking tells you what happened, while the review decides what to change.

This is where many habit plans fall apart. A planner full of self-care tasks looks great on day one. By week three, a few tasks have quietly stopped, usually because the time does not suit you, the place is inconvenient or the habit simply is not enjoyable. If nobody looks at the plan, those habits disappear without a decision ever being made.

LazyHabits makes the looking automatic. You give your Master Habit a day, time and place, for example Sunday at 6 pm with a cup of tea, and the app guides the review:

1. See how consistent each habit was this week.
2. Rate enjoyment from 1 to 5 stars per habit.
3. Note how you felt, your biggest win and what to do differently.
4. Change what is not working: the time, the place, what you pair it with or the reward.
5. Plan the next week, adding a Backlog idea only when your current habits feel easy.

There is good reason for this loop. In Lally et al. (2009), new habits took a median of 66 days to become automatic, with a wide spread between people, and missing a single day did not ruin the process. Repetition in a stable, pleasant context is what counts, and a weekly tune-up keeps the context right. You can borrow our weekly review questions for any app.

Me+'s mood tracking is genuinely useful here: if you use both, your mood history can feed straight into your Master Habit reflection.

Who should choose Me+?

Choose Me+ if you want a planner that shapes your whole day around self-care. It suits you if:

• You like a structured daily schedule with morning and evening routines
• Mood tracking is important to you
• You enjoy personality-based suggestions such as an MBTI test
• You want to customize habits with colors and icons
• You use an iPad as well as an iPhone

Who should choose LazyHabits?

Choose LazyHabits if big plans have overwhelmed you before. It fits you if:

• You are new to habits and want to start with 2 or 3 tiny ones (see our habit app for beginners)
• You want a clear weekly moment to adjust habits instead of starting over
• Missed days make you feel guilty, and you want a calm way to handle a missed day
• You like playful rewards like points and a growing Lazy Buddy
• You prefer a cheaper Pro plan, or the free plan with 3 habits

How do I switch from Me+ to LazyHabits, or use both?

Pick the 2 or 3 habits from your Me+ routine that matter most, move them to LazyHabits and schedule your Master Habit first. Everything else can wait in the Backlog.

1. Look at your Me+ progress and note which habits you actually kept.
2. Choose 2 or 3, and mark one as your High Impact Habit.
3. Make each one tiny enough for a bad day (try the two-minute rule).
4. Give each habit a day, time, place and reward in LazyHabits.
5. Schedule your Master Habit for a fixed weekly slot.
6. Move every other routine idea into the Backlog.

Using both is easy too. Keep Me+ for your daily planner and mood log, and let LazyHabits track the core habits and run the weekly review. Avoid tracking the same habit in both apps. For other options, see Fabulous vs LazyHabits or the best habit tracker apps.
