What Is the Habit Tracker?

The Habit Tracker is a built-in feature inside your app that allows users to check off daily wellness habits — such as breathing, meditation, journaling, stretching, or anything you define. These are set up by you, the partner, and are the same for all users in your app.

The Habit Tracker appears as a widget on the home screen. When users tap it, it opens into a full-screen view where they can see and check off their habits for the day.

It helps users stay consistent with their practice and gives them a clear sense of progress.


What Will My Users See?

  • A home screen widget titled “Track Your Habits”

  • When tapped, the widget opens a detailed view where users can check off each habit

  • A list of habit checkboxes defined by you — users simply tap the habit once they've completed it

  • Visual feedback that the habit has been checked off for the day

👉 Example habits from a fitness app:

  • 10-minute warm-up stretch

  • Complete daily workout

  • Log water intake

  • Cool down and stretch

All users in your app will see and track the same list of habits.


What Do I Need to Do?

To activate the Habit Tracker in your app:

  1. Turn on the Habit Tracker widget in the portal under App Settings > Home Screen Setup

  2. Set your habits in the Habit Tracker section of the Breakthrough Partner Portal

  3. If you need help or want us to do this for you, just email us!

You can change or update your habit list anytime by contacting our team.


How It Helps You

  • Encourages daily app engagement

  • Helps your users feel accountable and proud of their progress

  • Supports positive behavior change and habit-building — key to retention

  • Can be used in your programs or challenges (e.g., “Check off all 3 habits each day this week!”)


How Tracking Works (for your reference)

Each time a habit is checked off, the app logs it in the background.

Event name: daily_habit_checked

Parameters include:

  • user_id

  • habit_name

  • platform

  • timestamp

These are automatically sent to tools like Clevertap, Firebase, and AppsFlyer.


Can I Customize the Habits?

Yes! This feature is meant to reflect your brand and wellness philosophy.

  • You define what habits appear

  • Users cannot change them — this ensures consistency

  • You can request updates at any time by contacting our team
