If you're seeing Sleep (or other Health-synced habits like Exercise Time) show clear progress in Habitify, but the habit still appears as Skipped or Failed, this guide explains why—and how to fix it fast.
Understand the current logic
Apple Health sleep is attributed to the day you went to sleep (Day 1), but that data only arrives after you wake up on Day 2.
Habitify's Status Update automation can mark habits as Skipped/Failed at the end of Day 1 if progress is 0.
Because Health data arrives later, the day might already be marked Skipped/Failed. Habitify does not auto-undo that status today.
Quick fix: On that day, swipe the habit right > Undo (or Remove Logs), then pull to refresh. If Health data is present, the habit will re-evaluate and complete.
Why this happens
Health timing: Sleep from the night of Day 1 → morning of Day 2 is recorded for Day 1. The data is finalized only after you wake on Day 2.
Automation timing: Habitify’s Status Update automation can mark habits as Skipped/Failed by the end of Day 1 if progress is 0 (applies to daily good habits).
Result: Sleep data arrives the next morning, but Day 1 was already marked Skipped/Failed, so the status doesn’t auto-change.
Quick fix for any affected day
Open Journal and go to the specific date.
Find the habit and swipe right → Undo (or choose Remove Logs if shown).
Pull to refresh the screen. If Apple Health data exists for that day, Habitify will re-evaluate and mark it complete automatically.
How to reduce or prevent this
Option A: Turn off the Status Update automation (Settings → Automation → Status Update). This avoids late-arriving Health data being overridden by Skip/Fail.
Option B: Keep automation on but manually Undo the next morning for habits that sync late (e.g., Sleep).
FAQ
Can Habitify automatically undo Skip/Fail when Health data arrives later?
Not yet. We’re exploring improvements so late Health data can override or auto-undo the Skip/Fail status safely.
Does Sleep always map to the previous day?
Sleep recorded from the night of Day 1 to the morning of Day 2 is attributed to Day 1 in Habitify to reflect the day you went to sleep.
