A habit is something you want to do repeatedly, tracked by whether you did it, not by how you felt about it.
Tracking
Check in from the Habits page or from the dashboard strip. A habit can be daily or scheduled on particular weekdays, and missing a scheduled day breaks the streak while missing an unscheduled one does not.
Three readings of the same data:
- Streak is the current run, and your longest.
- Week grid is this week at a glance, for the mid-week correction.
- Heatmap is a calendar year, for the pattern you cannot see from inside it.
The heatmap is the useful one. Streaks reward not breaking a chain, which makes one missed day feel like a total loss; the heatmap shows you a year that is mostly filled in, which is what actually happened.
Accountability partners
You can add another person as a partner on a habit. They see your progress on that habit and you see theirs. They see nothing else.
This is scoped to the habit deliberately. Accountability that requires handing someone your whole workspace is not accountability, it is surveillance with a friendly name.
In a family workspace
Family workspaces add a household comparison view, so a shared habit (everyone reads before bed, nobody is on a screen after ten) can be tracked together rather than as five private streaks. See Family.
Limits
The free tier allows 3 habits. Paid tiers do not cap them. Three is enough to find out whether you are a person who tracks habits, which is the only thing the free tier needs to tell you.
