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

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