HabitKit 1.16.0 added a journal to the habit tracker. Day notes let you write a line on any day of any habit, so the grid shows not just whether you showed up but what happened.
Release notes · 1.16.0
Day notes are here. Press and hold any day to write down what went well, what got in the way, even on days you missed.
Also in this update:
- A refreshed look across the whole app.
- Sharper text and graphs on every screen.
- More reliable imports and backups.
- "Uncomplete Yesterday" now clears the day correctly on habits that allow going past their goal.
Crash reporting is now on by default so we can find problems faster. You can turn it off any time in Settings.
Write A Note On Any Day
Press and hold any day to write down what went well, what got in the way, or how it felt. It works on missed days too, which is where a note is often most useful: "travelling", "sick", "late shift". Looking back at a month, the notes turn a gap in the grid into a reason you can learn from. Log a completion and fix a past day shows where notes sit next to logging.
Later releases built on it: 1.18.0 added a Shortcuts action to log a note, 1.18.1 shows how long ago each note was written, and 1.17.3 lets you hide notes entirely if you never use them.
A Refreshed Look
A refreshed look across the whole app, with sharper text and graphs on every screen. Imports and backups became more reliable, and "Uncomplete Yesterday" now clears the day correctly on habits that allow going past their goal.
Crash Reporting
Crash reporting is now on by default, so problems are found and fixed faster. It never includes your habit data, and you can turn it off any time in Settings.
