Habitify allows you to build a highly customized home screen using widgets. However, because we offer different types of habits—building good routines, quitting bad ones, or simply limiting bad behaviors—not every widget works with every habit.
This guide will help you understand exactly which widgets to choose based on the type of habit you want to track.
Habit Types in Habitify
Before setting up your widgets, it is helpful to remember the three main types of habits you can create in Habitify:
Good Habits: Behaviors you want to build (with goals set per day, week, month, or year).
Bad Habits (To Quit): Behaviors you want to stop entirely.
Bad Habits (To Limit): Behaviors you want to reduce (with limits set per day, week, month, or year).
Quick Reference Table
Use this chart for a quick glance at which widgets support your specific habit setup.
