Get started
To add habits, kindly click the blue button "+ Add habits" on the top of the Journal view, then choose "Create Good Habit" or "Break Bad Habit."
Add a good habit
When you choose to create a good habit, a pop-up will appear for your setting-up as in the screenshot below:
Basically, the settings are familiar with the one on phone app, including: name, icon & color, goal, repeat, time of day, start date, and reminders.
Name, icon & color
Like on the phone app, you can choose to create a custom habit or pick from a pre-built habit list.
To see the pre-built habit templates, click on the name panel.
Click the question mark to choose icon and color for your habit.
Goal
Setting goal includes setting the value, unit, and period.
Enter from your keyboard to set any value. However, there is still limitation in the value depending on the unit you choose. For example:
With unit km, maximum value is 50 km
With unit time, maximum value is 100 times
For the unit:
If you are creating a custom habit, the available units are times and minutes
If you are creating from a pre-built habits, the available units are different based on the template you choose. For example, if you choose Running, the available units are Km, M, Ft, Yd, and Mi; if you choose Drink Water, the available units are L, Ml, Us Fl Oz, and Cup.
For the period, you can set your goal as for per day, per week, or per month.
Small note: Adjust your goal later
Repeat
The repeat setting will decide on which date your habit will appear on your daily list.
There are 3 options:
Daily: every day in a week, but you can choose specific day(s) in a week as well. For example, every Thursday and Friday.
Monthly: everday in a month, but you can chooose specific date(s) in a month. For example, every the 15th of the month.
Interval: choose to repeat with interval of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 days.
Time of Day
Time of day includes Morning, Afternoon, and Evening.
This setting helps filter your habits by the time of day and shows the scheduled ones in the list "Time of Day".
To adjust the time range for your Morning, Afternoon, and Evening, please go to side bar > Preferences > App Settings > Time of Day
Start Date
The start date is the first date you begin tracking your habit. The habit only appears in the Journal since the start date.
You can set any date as the start date. You can choose a date in the past to re-record your previous achievement in the app.
Small note: Later, if you change your start date back to further in the past, then from the new start date to the old one, the default goal of your habit will be 1 time.
Reminders
On the website & desktop app, reminders are set using your keyboard.
Please write the time in 24-hour format, then press Enter to log the reminder.
All things are set, click Save to add the new habit to your list.
Add a bad habit
When you choose to create a bad habit, a pop-up will appear for your setting-up as in the screenshot below:
The settings will be different based on the type of goal. You can choose between "Quit" or "Limit".
Name, icon & color
Like the good habit, you can create a custom habit, or click the Name placeholder and choose from the list.
Then, click the question mark to choose icon & color for your habit.
Goal to quit
To quit a habit is trying to not do the habit even for once. Therefore, technically, your goal will be as "0 per day".
For this type of goal, you just need to set the start date.
Goal to limit
For the goal to limit a habit, there is still a space where you can do the habit but not freely. You will need to set a goal as a barrier beside the start date.
If you are creating a custom habit, the available units include time and minute
If you are creating from a pre-built template, the available units will be different for each template.
Small note:
If you set start date in the past, from the start date to current date, your bad habit will be marked as succeeded with progress value 0.
To change the status or to update the progress for those date, use the phone app and follow this guide.
All things are set, click Save to add the new habit to your list.
