Status of a bad habit

In Habitify, your bad habit can have one of these two statuses: Succeeded or failed.

If the goal is to quit this habit

  • Succeeded: when you do not make the habit at all

  • Failed: when you do the habit, even once

If the goal is to limit this habit

  • Succeeded: When your total logged value equals 0 or is within the limitation.

  • Failed: When your total logged value exceeds the limitation.

Automatic Check-in

With bad habits, Habitify assists you with automation checking the habit status.

By the end of each day, if the logged value on your bad habit is equal to 0 or under the limitation, your habit will automatically be marked as successful.

Manual Check-in

Mark as succeeded

On the Journal view, use the smart button "Succeed" to quickly check in when you succeed in limiting or avoiding the bad habit.

Log a value

To log a progress value on your bad habit, swipe the habit to the right and choose Log Progress.

How can I log my progress value on a bad habit on a previous day

There's only one way. Please follow the steps below:

(1) Tap on your bad habit to go to the Single Progress view

(2) Choose the 3-dot button in the top corner > choose Log Progress

(3) Choose a date and log your value

Mark as skipped or failed

To mark the habit as Failed or Skipped:

  • Swipe left the habit and choose Skip or Fail.

  • Press and hold the habit and choose Skip or Fail.

  • To log progress, swipe the habit right and choose Log Progress.

How can I mark a bad habit as "Failed" on a date in the past?

The bad habits will be automatically checked in as succeeded at the end of a day. However, there might be some situations when you want to change the status of the day or log progress for it after that.

You have 2 ways to do it:

(1) Go to the Journal view of that date, swipe left the habit, and choose "Fail."

(2) In the Calendar view, choose the 3-dot button in the top corner > choose Log Progress > choose a date and log value as 1

    • Remove Today Data -> Your progress value of today will be back to 0
