HabitKit 1.19.0 rebuilt how streaks are counted, so a streak follows the schedule you actually keep. A habit can repeat on specific weekdays or every few days, the days in between are free days that never break the chain, and weekly and monthly goals can count their streak in weeks or months in a row.
Release notes · 1.19.0
- New repeat options: on specific days, like weekdays only, or every few days. Free days never break a streak
- Weekly and monthly goals can count their streak in weeks or months in a row
- Free days get a small dot on grids and widgets, and reminders skip them
- Fixed: rare streak miscounts around time zones and clock changes
Habits On Specific Days, Or Every Few Days
Open a habit's Repeat setting and choose how it repeats: every day, on specific days, so many times a week, so many times a month, or every few days. Gym on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, or no work habits at the weekend, is now one setting rather than a streak you lose every Saturday. How streaks are counted explains each option and what it does to the number on the habit.
Free Days Never Break A Streak
The days a habit is not scheduled are free days. Skipping one costs nothing, and doing the habit anyway still shows on the grid. Free days get a small dot on the habit grid and on home screen widgets, so you can tell a planned day off from a missed one at a glance. There is no streak freeze to manage: taking a day off works by planning it.
Weekly And Monthly Streaks
A goal such as three times a week used to count its streak in days. It can now count in weeks in a row, or months in a row for a monthly goal, which reads the way you think about it: twelve weeks of three workouts, not a day count that resets mid-week.
Reminders That Skip Free Days
Reminders now follow the same schedule and stay quiet on free days. This release also fixed rare streak miscounts around time zone changes and the clocks going forward or back.
