Do you want to track goals with a high numerical value, but find that the mobile app limits you to a maximum 1000?

This is a known limitation of the value scroller interface on our mobile apps. However, there is a simple and effective workaround that allows you to set any goal value you need.

This guide will show you how.

The Solution: Use the Habitify Web App

The key is to create or edit the habit on our Web App, which uses a text input field for the goal and does not have the 1,000-value limit.

Once the habit is created with the high value on the web, it will sync correctly to your phone, and you can track your progress normally from your mobile device.

  1. Log in to the Web App: Open a browser on your computer and log in to your account at app.habitify.me.

  2. Create or Edit Your Habit:

    • To add habits, kindly click the blue button "+ Add habits" on the bottom action bar of the habit list, then choose "Create Good Habit" or "Break Bad Habit."

    • To edit habits:

      • On the Grid view: Right-click on a cell of the habit and choose Edit

      • On the List view: Right click on the habit and choose Edit

  3. Enter Your High-Value Goal:

    • In the Goal section, simply type your desired number directly into the input box. You can enter any value you need, such as 3000, 5000, or 10000, with any units.

  4. Save and Sync:

    • Click Save to confirm your changes.

    • Now, open the Habitify app on your phone. The habit will sync with the new, higher goal, and you can start tracking your progress as usual.

โš ๏ธ Important Warning: Avoid Editing the Goal on Mobile

After you have set a high-value goal using the web app, please be aware of the following:

  • If you try to edit that same habit's goal on the iOS or Android app, the value scroller may still show the 1,000 cap and could reset your high value.

  • If you accidentally change the goal on mobile, you will need to re-edit it on the web app to set the high value again.

We hope this workaround helps you track your ambitious goals effectively!
