FAQ

Fewer than you think. The Habbits holds four and stops there: the Habits tab reads “4 of 4 in rotation”, and adding a fifth means choosing which one leaves. More than four is a to-do list.

Start with two. Setup is one sentence, “Every day I want to ___ and ___”, and you can fill the other two slots once the first two feel automatic.

It mends. Skip Thursday, do the habit on Friday, and Thursday is mended: the streak carries on. You get one mend per rolling week, and a mended day doesn’t add to the count, so a 30-day streak still means thirty days of doing it.

Miss two days in a row, or a second day within seven days of a mend, and the streak ends. How mends work walks through it day by day.

No. The Habbits has no subscription, no in-app purchases and no ads, and it uses no advertising identifiers.

No. The app is complete without one, and your habits stay on your phone. Signing in with Apple or Google adds two things: sync across your devices, and Duet.

With or without an account the app sends anonymous usage analytics, which you can turn off in Settings › Data › Privacy. The Privacy Policy lists exactly what is sent.

If you want to track twelve things, count reps, log notes or share progress to a feed, another app will serve you better. Streaks and Habitify are built for longer lists. The Habbits is for the four that matter.

As of October 2026: The Habbits holds four habits and stops there, where Streaks allows up to 24 tasks. A missed day mends once a week instead of ending the streak, and a habit can carry a cue such as “After coffee” so its reminder reads as that cue. Every tap plays a chime. If you want Apple Health automation, an Apple Watch app or a longer list, Streaks is built for that; for an RPG with parties, Habitica; for Android and open source, Loop.

Yes. Home Screen widgets mark a habit done in place, a Lock Screen widget shows how many are done, and Control Center, the Lock Screen and the Action button can each toggle one habit. At 8 pm, Last call puts a Live Activity on the Lock Screen with a button for each habit still open. The Lock Screen guide shows how to set each one up.

Pair with exactly one person. When you both do the same habit on the same day, your chimes harmonise and they get a soft notice. There is no feed and no ranking. Duet needs an account on both sides.

Yes. Retire a habit instead of deleting it: its history and streak wait for it to come back, and the slot opens for something new.

Export everything as CSV or JSON from Settings. Delete your account from inside the app, or by email if you can’t open it; Delete your data has both routes.

An iPhone with iOS 26 or later. The Habbits is iPhone only for now. Reminders and Last call reach your Apple Watch.
