HabitKit 1.18.3 brought daily cloud backup to Android. Turn on Google Drive backup once and HabitKit saves a copy of your habits to your own Drive every day, so a lost, broken or replaced phone no longer means starting your streaks over.
Release notes · 1.18.3
- New on Android: back up to Google Drive once a day, so a new phone never means starting over. Turn it on in Settings › Backup & Restore
- Reminders now stay quiet once the habit is done for the day
- Fixed a crash after reordering habits, and home-screen widgets update more reliably
- iCloud backup on iPhone is more reliable and says more clearly what to do when something goes wrong
Back Up Your Habits To Google Drive
Go to Settings › Backup & Restore and tap Turn on Google Drive backup. HabitKit backs up once a day, into Google Drive › HabitKit, and keeps the last five backups from that phone. The backup lives in your own Google account: there is no HabitKit account and nothing passes through a server of ours. It joins the seven daily backups HabitKit already keeps on the phone itself, explained in backups and how to restore them.
Moving To A New Android Phone
Install HabitKit on the new phone, open Backup & Restore, connect the same Google account and pick the backup to restore. Every habit, check-in and note comes back. Moving your habits to a new phone walks through it step by step, including moving between iPhone and Android with an export.
Quieter Reminders, Steadier Widgets
Reminders now stay quiet once a habit is done for the day, on both platforms. On Android this release fixed a crash after reordering habits, and home screen widgets update more reliably; if one still looks stuck, see widget not updating. On iPhone, iCloud backup became more reliable and explains more clearly what to do when something goes wrong.
