how to keep track of your habits

Pick a habit and write it down the moment it pops into your head. A quick tap on the + button on the dashboard opens a tiny form—type the name, choose a category, and you’re set. No need to overthink the label; the color‑coded tags will remind you later what the habit belongs to.

If you’re the type who likes a visual cue, switch the habit to a timer. The built‑in Pomodoro clock lets you start a 25‑minute session for things like “read a chapter” or “meditate”. When the timer hits zero, the habit marks itself complete automatically. It feels satisfying to watch that little progress bar fill up.

Streaks are the silent motivator most people ignore. Each habit card shows a number that climbs day after day. Miss a day and it drops to zero—unless you use a freeze. You get a limited number of freeze days per month; tap the freeze icon and the streak stays intact even if you skip the habit. It’s a tiny safety net for those inevitable off‑days.

When a habit stops serving you, archive it instead of deleting. The habit disappears from the main grid, but the data lives on for future reference. Later you might notice a pattern in the archived list that hints at a deeper routine you never realized you had.

Pair habit tracking with a quick journal entry. The notebook icon on the header opens a daily page where you can jot a sentence, select a mood emoji, and answer a prompt the app throws at you. Those AI‑generated tags (like “fitness” or “stress”) make it easy to search past entries. A few weeks in, type “search_past_journals” and pull up moments when you felt most energized—perfect for tweaking your routine.

If accountability feels missing, join a squad. Create a small group in the Social tab, share the code with a friend, and watch each member’s daily completion percentage. A quick glance at the squad chat shows who’s on fire and who might need a nudge. The collective vibe often pushes you to keep the streak alive without you even realizing it.

Don’t let reminders become noise. In each habit’s settings, set a specific time you want a push notification. The app will ping you at that hour, but remember: the AI Coach can’t schedule them for you. You have to open the habit card, tap “reminder”, and pick a slot that fits your day. A well‑timed ping feels like a gentle tap on the shoulder rather than an alarm.

Mix in a reading habit without clutter. The Reading tab tracks your progress, lets you note the current chapter, and shows a percentage bar. When you finish a book, the habit automatically logs a win—no extra steps needed. It’s a neat way to keep the habit visible without adding a separate entry on the dashboard.

On rough days, flip the brain icon for Crisis Mode. The screen shrinks to three micro‑activities: a breathing exercise, a vent‑journal prompt, and a tiny win like “make the bed”. No streak pressure, just a sliver of progress to keep the momentum alive. You can jump back to the full dashboard once you feel steadier.

And finally, treat your habit list like a living document. Every few weeks, open the Analytics tab. Spot trends—maybe you’re consistent with health habits but dip on learning. Adjust the schedule, add a new habit template, or freeze a day you know will be busy. The charts are there to inform, not to judge.

But remember, the system only works if you show up. A habit isn’t a checkbox; it’s a tiny promise you keep to yourself. Keep the promise, tweak the tools, and let the routine grow in its own rhythm.
