HabitKit 1.17.0 made it a quit habit tracker as well as a habit builder. A quit habit tracks what you are not doing, like smoking, late-night snacks or doomscrolling, and turns every day you stayed clean into a tile on the grid.
Release notes · 1.17.0
Quit habits are here. Track what you are not doing: every day counts as good, you only mark the days you slipped, and your streak is the run of clean days.
Switch an existing habit over any time, or switch it back. Past days keep the meaning they had.
Also in this update:
- Reminders for a quit habit go quiet for the rest of the day once you log a slip.
- Quit habits read the right way round on every home screen widget, on iOS and Android.
- The consistency graphs fade out at the edge that hides more, instead of cutting off at the card.
- Reminders now survive a change of timezone, so an 8:00 reminder stays at 8:00 when you travel.
- Cancelling a purchase no longer reports that something went wrong.
How A Quit Habit Counts
Every day counts as a good day by default. You only mark the days you slipped, and your streak is the run of clean days since the last one. That is the right way round for breaking a habit: a quiet day needs no tap at all, and the grid fills with the days you held out. Track a habit you want to quit covers clean days, slips and limits, and how streaks are counted explains the number.
Switch An Existing Habit Over
Already tracking something you want to stop? Switch it to a quit habit any time, or switch it back. Past days keep the meaning they had, so your history is not rewritten.
Reminders, Widgets And Fixes
Reminders for a quit habit go quiet for the rest of the day once you log a slip. Quit habits read the right way round on every home screen widget, on iPhone and Android. Reminders also survive a time zone change now, so an 8:00 reminder stays at 8:00 when you travel, and cancelling a purchase no longer reports an error.
