Perhaps you've had a long break and want to reset your progress to zero, or maybe you want to wipe your entire history and begin your journey anew.
Habitify offers two different ways to restart your habits. This guide will explain each method, so you can choose the one that's right for you.
Option 1: Restart a Single, Specific Habit
This is the best option if you want to reset the progress and streak for just one habit without affecting any of your others.
This method works by changing the habit's "Start Date" to today, which effectively hides all of its past history and starts it over from scratch.
Follow these steps:
From your main Journal list, hold on the habit you want to restart, and choose Edit
Tap on the "Start Date" setting.
Change the date to today.
Save your changes.
The habit will now appear on your list as if it were brand new, with a streak of zero and no past completion data.
Option 2: Restart ALL Habits (Complete Data Reset)
This is a powerful, irreversible action that will give you a complete fresh start across your entire account. Use this option only if you want to erase all of your historical data for every habit you have.
⚠️ WARNING: This action is PERMANENT and cannot be undone. It will delete all progress logs, all notes, and all streaks for every habit in your account. Your list of habits will remain, but their history will be completely wiped clean.
Follow these steps:
Open the Habitify app and go to the Settings tab.
Tap on your Account Name / Profile at the top of the screen.
Scroll down to the bottom to find the section labeled "Cautious Zone."
Tap on the "Reset All Data" option.
A final confirmation pop-up will appear. Read the warning carefully and tap "Delete" to confirm.
