How to create a Weekly Habit

A weekly habit is a habit that has the goal set for the whole week.

In the habit settings, you will set the goal as [number] [unit] per week.

Currently, there are no settings for leveling the goal for each day.

View weekly habits on Journal

On the Journal view, when your weekly habit is incomplete, it is categorized in the section This Week.

Still, the appearance of your monthly habit on the daily list is depending on the repeat setting.

Track progress on weekly habit

To log your progress on a weekly habit, you can take the same steps as you do when checking in on a daily habit.

Your habit will remain incomplete and you will continue to receive reminders on it until the goal per week is completed.

Currently, there are no settings for leveling the goal for each day.

The single progress view of a weekly habit

When you tap on your weekly habit, a screen to view it progress for the whole month will appear, showing you the following information:

  • The current streak.

  • A grid report showing the total achievement, the number of days you complete, skip, and mark habit as fail.

  • A calendar view of your progress.

  • A trend chart on your achievement by day, week, and month.

Streak

On Android, streak is daily-based, which means it counts on the day you have checked in. To keep your streak continuous, if your habit appears on the Journal view, you should:

  • Check-in your progress value, or

  • Mark your habit with Skip in case you don't schedule to do it today.

On iOS, streak for the weekly habit is weekly-based. As long as you complete your weekly goal, your streak is counted up. You do not need to check-in daily as the daily-based streak.

Success Days

The number of success days increases when the goal is accomplished. Consequently,

  • If the goal per week is completed, success days will be 7 days for the whole week.

  • If the goal per week is incomplete, success days will be 0 days for the whole week.

Furthermore, if there are days marked with Skip or Fail, the total success days will be minus those days.

For example, if you achieve the weekly goal, then the total number of success days is 7. However, if you mark 1 day as Skipped and 2 days as Failed, then the total number is 5.

View weekly habits in the Progress tab

In the Progress tab, for a weekly habit, you can see:

  • A progress bar which is showing your completion for a week.

  • Total: The total progress value you have achieved.

  • Skipped: The total number of days you have marked with Skip.

  • Failed: The total number of days you have marked with Fail.
