Best Wheel of Life Apps for iPhone (2026)

How the 7 apps compare

Every number below is pulled directly from the U.S. App Store via Apple's public lookup API on 4 September 2026 — nothing here is estimated. Rating counts are small for most of these apps because "wheel of life app" is a niche category; we've flagged the ones with thin data (under 10 ratings) rather than pretend they carry the same weight as LifeWheel's or Way of Life's.

Ratings under 10 reviews are statistically thin — treat them as a signal, not a verdict. Way of Life is a habit tracker, not a wheel of life app; it's included because it's the honest answer for "I just want the habit layer."

LifeWheel — Goal Habit Tracker

LifeWheel splits your life into eight spheres — Health, Career, Money, Love, People, Joy, Growth, Contribution — has you rate each from 1–10, and draws the wheel. Where it differs from the other apps here is what happens after the wheel: each sphere connects to specific habits and goals you can track daily, journaling and gratitude prompts, and a companion Apple Watch app for logging without your phone. There's a dedicated set of coach tools for running the assessment with clients across sessions.

Who it's for: people who want the diagnostic and the daily follow-through in one app, and coaches who want to run the exercise repeatedly with clients rather than as a one-off worksheet.

Pros: only app in this list with Apple Watch support; habits are tied back to the sphere score instead of floating free; available in 8 languages (EN, FR, DE, IT, JA, PT, RU, UK); journaling and gratitude built in alongside the wheel.

Cons: iOS only, no Android version; multi-device sync and the AI features sit behind a subscription — free tier covers the wheel and basic habit tracking, but ongoing cross-device use pushes you toward Premium; with 521 ratings it's more established than most on this list but nowhere near the scale of a mainstream habit tracker like Way of Life.

Wheel of Life: Mentor yourself

Built by AGORA LABS in Brazil, this app frames the wheel as a "self-knowledge quiz" across career, family, finances, relationships, health, and growth, then pushes you toward turning the reflection into action with goal and habit prompts. It reads as a self-help app first, a wheel tool second.

Who it's for: people who want the reflective, journal-adjacent framing rather than a bare-bones diagnostic tool.

Pros: highest rating average of the dedicated wheel apps (4.8★); actively maintained — last updated January 2026; free with no subscription mentioned in its listing.

Cons: 26 ratings is still a small sample; the habit/goal layer is described in marketing copy but isn't as structured as LifeWheel's sphere-linked tracking; no Apple Watch or coach-specific tools.

Wellness Wheel – Life Tracking

Built by independent developer Ross Llewallyn, Wellness Wheel lets you define your own categories — relationships, achievement, inner peace, recovery, "or anything you choose" — rather than locking you into a fixed set of spheres. The pitch is a guided, reflective daily or weekly check-in with trend charts over time.

Who it's for: people who want a fully customizable wheel rather than a preset list of life areas, and don't mind building the structure themselves.

Pros: perfect 5.0★ rating; genuinely flexible category system; trend charts show change over repeated check-ins, not just a single snapshot.

Cons: only 17 ratings — a perfect average on a small sample isn't the same evidence as LifeWheel's 521 or Way of Life's 5,239; no Apple Watch or coach features; customization means more setup work before you get your first wheel.

Life Wheel: Goals, Well-being

Made by developer Javier Fernandez, this app also uses eight life spheres for its "Balance Assessment," paired with daily mood logging and a personalized journal covering assessments, goals, tasks, and moods in one place.

Who it's for: people who want mood tracking layered directly onto the wheel, in a single combined journal view.

Pros: 8-sphere structure similar to LifeWheel's; daily mood log adds an emotional dimension the pure diagnostic apps skip; free.

Cons: only 7 ratings, honestly too small a sample to draw conclusions from — treat the 4.7★ as a data point, not a verdict; no Apple Watch; supports iOS 12+, the oldest OS floor on this list, which usually means an older codebase.

Wheel of Life: Balance App

A newer entry from developer Miguel Palomino (branded "Ensoia"), built around custom wheels with slider-based 1–10 ratings, minimalist charts, and an offline-first, no-login, no-ads design inspired by the Japanese Enso circle. Its listing explicitly calls out "personal development and coaching" as a use case.

Who it's for: privacy-conscious users who want an entirely offline, no-account wheel tool with a minimalist aesthetic.

Pros: no login, no ads, fully offline data storage; clean minimalist design; actively updated as of January 2026.

Cons: one rating at the time of writing — there's essentially no track record yet, and we're including it for completeness rather than as evidence of quality; no habit tracking beyond goal templates; no Apple Watch.

Evaluation Wheel

The simplest app on this list, from UK developer Revolutionate Ltd. There's no habit tracking, no journal, no accounts — just eight editable segments (Finance, Health, Relationships, Development, plus four blank ones) you drag to score, then export to Photos, notes, or share directly with a coach.

Who it's for: people who want to run the wheel exercise once, get a shareable image, and move on — no ongoing app relationship required.

Pros: genuinely the fastest way to a one-off wheel — no signup, no subscription, share-to-coach built in; fully editable segment labels.

Cons: hasn't been updated since December 2020, which for an App Store listing is a long time; only 4 ratings; no tracking over time at all, so it's not a fit if you want to see the wheel change month to month.

Way of Life — not a wheel app, but the honest habits-only answer

Way of Life isn't a wheel of life app — it doesn't do an 8-area assessment at all. It's a long-running, well-reviewed habit tracker (on the App Store since 2010) that lets you log any yes/no habit daily and see streaks, charts, and trends. We're including it because if what you actually want is "help me log habits, I've already figured out my priorities," it's a stronger habit tool than any of the six wheel apps above, LifeWheel included.

Who it's for: people who already know which habits matter and want a dedicated, mature tracker — see our full Wheel of Life vs Habit Tracker Apps comparison for the deeper tradeoff.

Pros: 5,239 ratings at 4.8★ — by far the most-reviewed app in this comparison; 16 years on the App Store; CSV/Excel export, cloud backup, Siri/Shortcuts support, color-blind mode.

Cons: no wheel, no life-area diagnostic — it assumes you already know what to track; unlimited habits and backup require in-app purchase.

How we ranked these

We pulled every figure — price, rating, rating count, last-updated date, minimum iOS version — directly from Apple's public iTunes Search/Lookup API on 4 September 2026, not from marketing pages or memory. We ranked primarily on rating count as a proxy for how many real people have actually used the app, then rating average, then feature completeness (does it track habits, not just show a wheel; is it still maintained; does it support Apple Watch or coach workflows).

Transparency: the author of this page built LifeWheel and has run it since 2015. We've tried to counter that bias by giving LifeWheel the same treatment as everyone else — real cons listed, thin-data apps flagged rather than dismissed, and Way of Life included even though it's a direct case for not needing a wheel app at all. If you want a second opinion, download two or three of these and compare the actual wheel you get, not just this table.

What a Wheel of Life app should actually do

At minimum: let you rate a fixed or custom set of life areas on a consistent scale, draw the result as a wheel so imbalance is visible at a glance, and let you redo it later so you can see whether anything moved. Past that baseline, the apps in this list differ on whether they connect the diagnosis to daily action (habits, goals, journaling), whether they're built for repeat use or a single session, and whether they support anyone beyond the person running the assessment themselves — coaches, in particular.

For the full methodology — where the eight areas come from, how to read a lopsided wheel, and how often to redo it — see our Wheel of Life guide. For a breakdown of what each life area actually covers, see the 8 Areas of Life glossary entry.
