Account & Data
Is my data private?
Yes. We don't sell your data or share it with advertisers. Your habits are your business. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Can I export my data?
Yes! Go to Settings > Preferences > Export Data. You can download your data as JSON or CSV.
What happens if I delete my account?
You have 30 days to recover your account after deletion. After 30 days, all data is permanently erased. See Account Deletion.
Habits & Tracking
How many habits can I track?
Up to 10 habits at a time. We recommend starting with 3-5 to avoid overwhelm.
Can I edit past days?
Yes, you can mark past days as complete (retroactive completions) or add failure tags. These are shown with slightly different styling so your record stays honest.
What are failure tags?
When you miss a habit, you can tag it with a reason (forgot, busy, sick, etc.). This helps you identify patterns without feeling guilty. See Failure Tags.
What are pause days?
Pause days let you take planned breaks without affecting your streaks. Use them for vacations, rest days, or special occasions. See Pause Days.
Stars & Rewards
How do I earn gold stars?
Complete habits on the same day to earn 1 star each. Bonus stars for perfect days and milestones. Retroactive completions don't earn stars. See Earning Gold Stars.
Can I lose stars?
No! You never lose stars. Missing habits just means you don't earn new ones. This removes guilt and punishment from habit tracking.
How do rewards work?
You create personal rewards (movie night, treat yourself, etc.) and claim them when you complete all daily habits. See Gold Stars & Rewards.
