How to create a Monthly habit

View monthly habits on Journal
On the Journal view, when your monthly habit is incomplete, it is categorized in the section This Month.
Track progress on monthly habit
To log your progress on a monthly habit, you can take the same steps as you do when checking in on a daily habit.
As long as the goal is not achieved, your habit will remain incomplete in the Journal view
You can check the last time you check-in on your monthly habit by tapping on the habit > see the calendar in the single progress view.
You will receive reminders as you scheduled for your habit until the goal per month is completed.
The single progress view of a monthly habit
When you tap on your monhtly habit, there is a Single progress view on its progress will appear, showing you the detailed break-down of how you're doing on your habit.
Current Streak
Streak for the monthly habit is monthly-based. It means, as long as you complete your weekly goal, your streak is counted up.
Under the number of current streak, you can see within the last 7 months, in which you have completed your goal.
Progress Break-Down
Under the streak is a grid report which show your progress in the currently-viewing month or year:
Completion rate (Android): showing how long have you achieved against the goal of the month.
Success days (iOS): showing how many days in the current period that you do the habit.
Failed: How many days you have marked the habit as failed.
Skipped: How many days you have marked the habit as skipped.
Total: A total value that you've logged on your habit in the currently-viewing month or year
How Success Days is Calculated (iOS)?
The number of success days increases when the goal is accomplished. Consequently,
If the goal per month is completed, success days will be the number of days of the month. For example, January has 31 days, and Jun has 30 days.
If the goal per month is incomplete, success days will be 0 days for the whole month.
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 monthly goal for January, then the total number of success days is 31. However, if you mark 5 days as Skipped and 4 days as Failed, then the total number is 22.
Calendar view
The calendar visually represents your habit progress in the month. Each day is marked with different symbols based on the status you check on your habit on that day:
A solid colored circle: you make progress on your habit
An right-headed arrow: you mark your habit as skipped
A black cross: you mark your habit as failed.
You can change the time range from a month to a year to view your progress throughout the year.
Trend chart
The trend chart gives you a powerful visual of your habit performance over time.
Under the chart, you can switch between Day, Week, Month, or Year. This lets you see your progress from a daily snapshot to a long-term trend.
When you select a time period, you'll see:
Your Performance Trend: Each column shows your total achievement for that period (for example, each day of the week or each month of the year).
Exact Details: Tap and hold any column to see the specific number you achieved for that single period.
Your Average: The chart also calculates your average achievement per period since you started the habit.
Dashed goal line: When you view the chart in Month view, you can see a dashed line which represents the goal you set for your habit. With this line, you can easily manage how you're doing against the goal.
View the Monthly habits in the Progress tab
In the Progress tab, for a monthly habit, you can see:
A progress bar which is showing your achievement of the currently-viewing period against the goal of the whole month.
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.
