HabitKit 1.11 made the habit tracker count. Instead of only checking a day off, you could type the actual number: pages read, minutes meditated, kilometres run.
Release notes · 1.11
A Custom Value mode: type any number when completing a habit, pages read or minutes meditated, alongside step-by-step counting.
- Habits can keep counting past their daily goal, so extra-productive days show a real total on the list, detail page and widgets.
- The week can start on any day, not just Monday or Sunday, respected everywhere including widgets (1.11.1).
- The habit editor folds interval, reminders, categories and tracking mode behind a collapsible Advanced Options section.
Since then Since 1.18.0 a habit is Yes / No, Count or Measure. Measure took over typing in any number, now with decimals and a unit of your own, and the habit editor no longer has an Advanced Options section.
Type Any Number
A new Custom Value mode let you enter any number when completing a habit, alongside the step-by-step counting that was already there. 1.18.0 later grew this into Count and Measure habits with decimals and custom units; daily goals, counts and amounts describes how it works today.
Count Past The Goal
Habits could keep counting past their daily goal, so an extra-productive day showed its real total on the list, the detail page and widgets, instead of stopping at the target.
Start The Week On Any Day
The week could start on any day, not just Monday or Sunday, and every screen and widget followed it (from 1.11.1). The habit editor also tucked interval, reminders, categories and tracking mode behind a collapsible Advanced Options section.
