Habits
A focused view of the few behaviors that matter most. No scores, no streaks, no noise â just your practice.
Practice without pressure.
The habits view is the center of Habitus. It shows only your active habits â not a dashboard, not analytics, not a congratulatory score. Just the behaviors you've decided matter, ready to be completed.
Habits don't have streaks you can break. Missing a day doesn't punish you. Coming back after a week away feels the same as coming back after a night away. The system holds your practice without judgment.
Start tracking habitsHow to use the habits system.
Add a habit
Start with one or two behaviors that genuinely matter to you. Enter edit mode to add a new habit with a name and any relevant notes.
Complete it daily
Tap once to mark a habit complete. On mobile, long-press to add a completion note or adjust the completion time. That's the entire workflow.
Review history
Switch from card view to history view to see completion patterns over time. No graphs â just a calendar-style record of your practice.
Reorder by priority
Use edit mode to drag habits into priority order. The highest-leverage behaviors belong at the top, where you see them first.
Getting the most from habits.
- Keep your habit list short. Five or fewer habits is usually better than ten. The list should represent what you're actually committed to practicing.
- Completion notes are underused. A short note on a particularly difficult completion or a particularly good one builds a richer record than checkmarks alone.
- If you miss a habit, don't delete it â just come back. The absence of a completion is already recorded in history. Adding a note about why can be valuable on its own.
- Review your habit list every few weeks. If you haven't completed something in a long time, it may not belong in the system. Remove it without guilt.
