Habits
Completions, frequencies, priorities, pause, archive and streaks.
Marking a habit as done
Tap the circular progress button on the right of a habit to add one completion. For example 0/3 becomes 1/3.
When the habit reaches its target it is complete. When every habit scheduled for that day is complete, the day is done.
If the habit has a To-Do list attached, the button opens that checklist instead, and the habit advances only once every item is ticked.
Removing a completion
There are two ways to subtract one. For example 2/3 becomes 1/3.
- Press and hold the circular progress button.
- Tap the three dots on the habit card and choose Decrease progress.
It is the way to undo a tap you did not mean to make.
Frequencies
Every habit has a frequency that decides which days it is scheduled on.
- Daily: every day.
- Weekly: only on the weekdays you choose.
- Monthly: on the days of the month you choose, from 1 to 31. Last of month always fires on the real last day, whether it is the 28th or the 31st.
- Interval: every N days counted from the Start day, regardless of weekday.
- Custom cycle: a sequence of active and rest blocks that repeats from the start day. For example four active days, three rest, six active, six rest, then it repeats. You build it in its own editor, up to ten blocks.
Times per active day sets how many completions the habit needs on each scheduled day.
Each frequency type has its own icon, shown on the habit card as well.
Priorities
Every habit has a priority: Low, Normal (the default) or High. It sets the order in the list, with the higher ones on top, and the order of the mini icons on the calendar. A small icon appears on the card for High and Low habits, while Normal stays implicit.
Low-priority habits are still shown and can be completed, but they do not count toward the day. With two Normal habits and one Low, the day reads 0/2, not 0/3.
High-priority habits insist more. If you set a reminder and have made no progress yet, the app sends extra alerts after it, for example three alerts one hour apart. The moment you log any progress, even 1 of 2, the alerts stop. They never fire past midnight, so nothing arrives the next day, and if you have several reminders close together only the first of each window is used.
You can change how many alerts and how often, or turn them off completely:
Settings → App → Behaviour → Habits behaviour
In All habits you can also sort and filter by priority.
Pausing habits
There are two kinds of pause.
- One habit: open its menu (⋮) and choose Pause.
- Everything at once: use the status pill at the top of the habit list and choose Pause all.
Both ask for a Reason: Vacation, Illness or Personal break. Both accept an optional End date: the habit wakes up by itself that morning. Without a date the pause lasts until you tap Resume or Resume all.
When a global pause ends, a habit you had paused on its own stays paused.
Paused days turn yellow and are skipped, like days on which a habit was not scheduled: they never break a streak, in the streak count, in the statistics or in the achievements. They stay marked as paused days, unless you complete those habits retroactively.
In All habits the row of a paused habit shows the reason and, if there is one, the end date.
Archived habits
Archiving a habit removes it from the home list without deleting anything. Its history stays where it is.
You archive a habit from its own menu, and you find it again in All habits, the list icon in the top bar, where you can also restore it.
Archived habits leave the general statistics, the ones by category and the “By habit” wall. Their history stays, and you can still open their statistics from the row menu in All habits.
How streaks are counted
A streak counts the consecutive days on which a habit met its target, following its own schedule. Days when the habit was not scheduled do not interrupt it.
Paused days are skipped rather than counted as misses.
A partial completion, for example 1 of 2, does not break the streak but does not increase it either.
Each habit shows Current streak, Best streak and Success rate.
A streak of 66 days marks a habit as mastered. See Mastered habits.
