For the best experience, add Habitat to your home screen. On Chrome (Android): Tap the three dots (⋮) at top right, then "Add to Home screen". On Safari (iPhone): Tap the Share button, scroll down and tap "Add to Home Screen". The app will open like a native app without browser bars.

The Vision tab helps you visualize who you want to become in 6 months. This gives context and meaning to the habits you're building—each action becomes a step toward that future self. If you're using this app for something other than personal health habits (like household routines, for example), you can toggle off the Vision tab in Settings if you don't need it. Note: The preset habits that come with the app are generic, so customize them to align with your personal vision. Add, remove, and rename categories and actions to match your unique goals.

Click on your name in the header (it says "Friend" by default) to customize it. Type your name and press Enter to save it.

By default, your data is automatically saved to your browser on this device and remains completely private. All information is stored locally on your device only. If you create an account and sign in, your data will securely sync to the cloud (Firebase), allowing you to access it across devices and browsers. Whether stored locally or in the cloud, your data is private and secure. Local storage warning: If you don't sign in, clearing your browser cache or data will erase all your progress. Export your data regularly as a backup, or create an account for automatic cloud backup.

Tap any action button to log it and earn points. Use the "Log Steps" field to enter custom step counts (1 point per 500 steps).

Click any category name (like "Workouts" or "Nutrition") to rename it. Click "+ Add" in any category to create custom actions with your own emoji, name, and point values. You can also add new categories using the "+ Add New Category" button at the bottom of the Earn tab, and delete custom categories using the trash icon in the category header.

In the Rewards tab, click "+ Add" to create custom rewards with an emoji, name, and point cost. When you have enough points, click "Redeem" to unlock a reward. Use "Undo" if you change your mind.

Swipe left on any preset, reward, or history item to reveal the delete button. Swipe right on presets and rewards to edit them (change emoji, name, and points/cost). You can also drag and drop presets to reorder them within a category or move them between categories. Note: deleting a history item will subtract those points from your total.

Tap or swipe the hexagon logo next to "HABITAT" for a surprise! You'll get either a motivational quote or a bonus.

When you spin the logo, you have about a 10% chance of receiving a bonus! Instant bonuses (+3 or +5 points) are added immediately. Multiplier bonuses (2x or 3x) activate for your next action only—a golden badge will appear below your name. Once you log an action with a multiplier, it's consumed and disappears. Important: If you delete an action that used a bonus, you won't get the bonus back—bonuses are one-time use only.

Export your data to save a backup as a JSON file. Import allows you to restore from a previously exported file. This is useful for transferring data between devices or keeping backups.

HABITAT stands for Habit Accumulation Tracker—a tool designed to help you build positive routines through consistent action and earned rewards.

The name also alludes to the idea of a habitat being a natural environment. Rather than feeling forced, your habits are designed into your environment, making positive actions feel organic and sustainable.

HABITAT works twofold: it helps you both build habits and hold off on impulse decisions by positioning them as rewards that you earn permission for. This creates an ecosystem where every action contributes to your growth, and indulgences become intentional celebrations of your progress.

HABITAT pairs perfectly with the "No Zero Days" approach to habit-building. Create actions for min, medium, and max levels of each habit and assign points accordingly. For example: "10 min workout" (5 pts), "30 min workout" (15 pts), "Full gym session" (25 pts). This way, doing something is always better than nothing, and you're rewarded proportionally for your effort.

The free version of HABITAT gives you everything you need to start building positive habits:

• Up to 5 categories — Mix and match default categories (Workouts, Daily Movement, Nutrition, Hydration, Self Care) or delete them and add your own custom categories
• Up to 4 habits per category — Edit, rename, or replace the preset habits to fit your goals
• Up to 4 rewards — Customize the preset rewards or create your own
• Full point tracking system — Earn points, redeem rewards, track your progress
• Vision tab & future self tool — Visualize who you want to become
• Spin the logo for bonuses — Get motivational quotes and bonus multipliers

The free plan is perfect if you want a simple, focused system. You can absolutely build sustainable habits within these limits by editing what's already there.

HABITAT Pro removes all limits so your system can grow as your life does:

• Unlimited categories — Create systems for work, home, family, hobbies, or any area of your life
• Unlimited habits — Add as many habits as you need without choosing what to delete
• Unlimited rewards — Keep your point system flexible and motivating
• Future features first — Get early access to new features as they're released

Pro is $3.99/month and requires creating a free account (for secure cloud storage and subscription management). It's designed for people who want HABITAT to be their complete system—not just for fitness, but for everything that matters in their life. Whether you're tracking household routines, work projects, creative habits, or personal goals, Pro lets you build without constraints.

Start with the free plan and see how HABITAT fits into your life. If you find yourself wanting more categories, more habits, or more rewards, upgrade to Pro. You won't lose any data—everything transfers instantly when you upgrade. And if you ever downgrade, your data stays safe; you'll just need to delete items to get back within the free limits.
