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.

This quick guide will walk you through the essential settings to create your first habit in just a few taps. We'll use one of our pre-made templates to make it even faster.

From the main Journal screen, tap the ‘+’ icon. Browse our gallery of popular habits (like "Read a Book" or "Drink Water") and tap on a template to begin. This pre-fills some information for you.

Tap on "Repeat" to decide how often you want the habit to appear on your list. You can choose Daily, specific days of the week (like Mon, Wed, Fri), or a custom Interval (like every 3 days).
