What is a good habit?
In Habitify, a habit is a behavior that you perform regularly, often unconsciously. It can be a simple action like drinking water or a more complex routine like exercising daily.
A good habit is one that helps you become a better version of yourself by improving your productivity, health, or overall well-being.
By incorporating positive habits into your daily life, you can create a more structured and fulfilling routine that leads to long-term success and happiness.

Habitify has already made several templates for different activities. You can save the template right away, or do the adjustment.

goal
time in the day you do it
time for the app to remind you to do the habit
the date you start tracking your habit
icon & name
Name and icon together help you navigate through the habit list in both textual and visual ways.
You also can assign a color for the icon. The color will be the theme color of the habit's progress view on Progress tab and is Single Progress view.
repeat
Repeat is where you set the frequency of your habit appearing on your journal view as today's list.
You can set your habit to repeat:
on any day in a week
by interval of x days
on a specific date in a month
goal
Goal is how much you want to achieve within a day, a week or a month. Goal help you stay focused and motivated as you work towards your desired outcome.

For each habit template, Habitify supports you with a different list of units that are suitable for tracking that activity.

There are 3 types of reminders:
Time-based reminders: set the time when you want to do your habit in a day.

Habit-stacking reminders: organize your habit in the stack and get reminded of a habit based on the achievement of the last one.
start date
The start date is the first date you begin tracking your habit. The habit only appears in the Journal since the start date.
You can set any date as the start date. You can choose a date in the past to re-record your previous achievement in the app.
