The Header Bar: Your Controls
At the top of your Journal, you'll find a few key controls:
Journal Name (Left Side): By default, this is named "Journal," but you can tap on it to edit the name to anything you like (e.g., "My Daily Plan," "Today's Focus").
"Tip to Master" Collection: On the right, by tapping on the graduation hat icon, you'll find a collection of helpful resources, including quick guides to get you started
Sort button: next to the "Tip to Master" collection that allows you to quickly reorder your "All Habits" list.
The Area Bar: Filtering Your Habits
Below the header is the Area Bar, which acts as a powerful filter for your daily list. Tapping on any of these will show you only the habits within that group.
All Habits: The default view, showing every habit scheduled for today.
Time of Day Areas: Filter your list to see only the habits you've assigned to Morning, Afternoon, or Evening.
Your Custom Areas: Any custom areas you've created (like "Work," "Health," or "Fitness") will appear here, allowing you to focus on one part of your life at a time.
Also this Area bar can be hidden for more space to view your habits.
The List: How Your Habits are Organized in the Journal
To help you prioritize and understand your progress, the Journal view automatically categorizes your habits into several groups based on their goal period and status. Habits will move between these sections as you interact with them throughout the day.
Habit Categorized by Goal
Daily Habits: Your habits with goal per day (both to achieve or to limit) appear at the very top, as they are your primary focus for the day.
Habit to Quit: Next are the habits you are trying to stay away for the day.
This Week: This section contains all habits (both to achieve or to limit) that have a goal set per week.
This Month: This section contains all habits with a goal set per month.
This Year: This section contains all habits with a goal set per year.
Habit Categorized by Status
Once you interact with a habit, it moves to one of the status-based sections at the bottom:
Completed: Habits that you have successfully completed for the day (or for bad habits, successfully avoided or stayed under your limit).
Skipped: Any habits you have marked as "skipped." Your streak is protected for these.
Failed: Any habits you have marked as "failed." Your streak will be broken for these.
Special case of Quit Habit
When a habit to quit is marked as Done, it will stay under Quit Habit. Under its name, there is a line "Secured day [Current Streak]".
This automatic organization ensures that your list always shows you what's left to do, while keeping a clear record of what you've already accomplished.
