Habits

Habits are the things you want to do regularly: not once, not as a project, but on a rhythm. Morning pages, a daily walk, a weekly review, a yearly check-up.

Setting one up

Give the habit a name and a colour, and optionally a markdown description and a reward. Then choose how often it repeats: Daily, Weekly, Monthly or Yearly, with an interval — every 3 days, every 2 weeks, every 6 months. The longest gap is one year, in any unit.

Two kinds

A plain habit is simply done or not done: tap the circle and it’s ticked for the period.

Turn on Track value and the habit asks for something each time. Choose Number, with an optional unit such as “km” or “glasses”, or Note for a line of text: which book, what the workout was, how it went. A value can be up to 200 characters. Type it, then press Enter or tap the circle, and it’s saved with that completion. The card shows the last value until the next period starts.

Every value is kept. Open the habit’s menu and choose History to see them all, newest first, and search through them.

Periods and streaks

A habit can be completed once per period: once a day for a daily habit, once a week for a weekly one, and so on. After that it stays ticked until the next period begins. A completion can’t be unticked; if you logged one by mistake, you can revert its reward from Profile → Balance (see Bits and your balance).

Each completion pays the habit’s reward. Each habit also keeps its own streak, the number of periods in a row you’ve completed it, shown with a flame on its card. Miss a period and the count starts again. Nothing else is lost, and no bits are taken.

This per-habit count is separate from the account-wide daily Streak.

Keeping track

Habits can be searched and dragged into your own order. The Habits tab in Analytics shows each one’s completions, completion rate, current and longest streak, a heatmap, and the values you’ve logged: a chart for numbers, or your latest notes with a link to the habit’s full history.
