What's new.

Mostly repair work, and one fix worth calling out.

Fixed: reminders could go quiet for the rest of the week, depending on the day you last opened the app. If your notifications had been unreliable, this was why.

Also fixed: an export could report success after you cancelled it, the app could hang on the launch screen, and the subscription screen could get stuck on a spinner.

The compact list view has been redesigned, and habit counts now update the moment you change them.

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.

A compact home screen widget showing several habits at once, each tickable without opening the app. Medium (3 habits) and large (up to 8) on iPhone; one resizable widget on Android.

• Widgets can follow the system theme, or be pinned to light or dark independently of the app.
• A week of automatic daily backups kept on device, with one-tap restore. A failed import can no longer take your existing data with it.

Up to three reminders per habit, each with its own time and weekdays. The free plan keeps one; the second and third are Pro.

• A new Daily Check-In reminder at a time and on the weekdays you choose, with your own notification title and message.
• Font Awesome 7: 15 new habit icons and every existing one redrawn heavier. New app icon on iOS.

Habit history moved onto the detail page itself, always visible, with the habit's color washed behind completed days.

• Compact list became configurable (Pro): 1 to 7 days, optional habit names, bigger tap targets, translated weekday letters.
• Noticeably quicker. Graphs cache their layout, view switching stops redrawing the whole dashboard, and the app downloads smaller.

Any habit can use an emoji instead of an icon, on the list, detail, charts, archive, share cards and both platforms' widgets.

• Every icon carries keywords, so "workout", "sleep" or "meditation" finds the right one. Keywords are English, and the field says so in other languages.
• Icons and emoji share one picker with a toggle; the emoji side is searchable by name or by pasting an emoji.

A Custom Value mode: type any number when completing a habit, pages read or minutes meditated, alongside step-by-step counting.

• Habits can keep counting past their daily goal, so extra-productive days show a real total on the list, detail page and widgets.
• The week can start on any day, not just Monday or Sunday, respected everywhere including widgets (1.11.1).
• The habit editor folds interval, reminders, categories and tracking mode behind a collapsible Advanced Options section.

Choose what your habit cards show (Pro): streak count, streak goal, month labels, weekday labels and category icons.

• The long-press menu on a card gained Edit, Appearance, Share and Archive.
• Categories can be reordered by dragging a chip, or deleted, from the overview.
• Backups now include categories and their habit assignments, so nothing is lost when you move or restore.

Group habits into categories: a built-in set (Fitness, Health, Work, Nutrition, Morning, Evening and more) or your own with a custom name and icon. A habit can be in several.

• A filter bar on the dashboard narrows to one group; it can be hidden in Settings.
• A refreshed look across dashboard, settings, editor, onboarding and Pro, with dark mode unified into a single near-black palette.
• Fixed a launch crash for anyone whose device language was outside the 13 the built-in category names were translated into.

Two new view modes: Compact fits many habits on one screen for checking off today, Month shows a three-column grid of swipeable month calendars.

• A bottom bar switches Classic, Compact and Month. It can be hidden, with your preferred default in Settings.
• Siri and Shortcuts on iOS 17+: add or remove a completion by voice or from a shortcut.
• Fixed "Uncomplete Yesterday", which had been re-completing yesterday instead of clearing it.

Check a habit off directly on its home screen widget, without opening the app.

• Widgets follow the device's light and dark theme, highlight today, respect your week-start setting and refresh when a new day begins.
• Complete or uncomplete yesterday straight from the habit list.
• Reorder habits by long-pressing and dragging on the list itself.
• Russian language support.

Set a daily goal, say three times a day, and log each completion separately. The overview button becomes a segmented ring that fills a slice per tap, and the graph and calendar fill in progressively.

• A shareable Year in Review card: pick the year and habits, set an accent color and theme, export as square, 9:16 story or tweet image.
• The calendar shows how many times you completed each day, and outlines today.
• Pure black dark mode reaches the home screen widgets on both platforms.

A new Charts & Statistics screen (Pro): completions, current and best streak, completions per month, a time-of-day breakdown and a full-year heatmap, filterable by habit and year.

• Pure Black Dark Mode for OLED screens, the default dark theme from 1.5.7.
• An option to highlight the current day in the habit grid.
• Settings are now included in a backup, so a restore brings your preferences with it.

Home screen widgets arrived on Android in small and medium sizes, with the habit chosen at placement and a tap jumping straight to it.

• A small widget joined the medium one on iOS, and both gained appearance settings: light or dark theme, and toggles for the completion indicator and description.
• Reminders were rebuilt to fire when they should, and are rescheduled every time you open the app.
• Completions and streaks stay correct across time zones.

Share any habit as an image: light or dark, any habit color, with the completion indicator, description and streak switched on or off.

• Editing a habit's icon, interval or reminder saves the moment you tap back. The separate confirm button is gone.
• HabitKit asks once whether it may send anonymous crash reports; changeable any time in Settings.

Widgets came to the iOS home screen (Pro): pick the habit a widget shows and tap it to jump straight there.

• Arabic, Belarusian, Catalan, Dutch, French, Hungarian, Italian, Brazilian and European Portuguese, Spanish and Turkish joined English and German.
• The icon library grew from 98 to 195 icons, all redrawn in one style.
• The week can start on Sunday, from a new General section in Settings.
• Fixed the grid and streak counts drifting a day around daylight-saving changes.

Every habit can carry a streak goal: Daily, X per week, X per month, or None. The current streak shows on the list and detail view, and changing a goal asks whether to apply it to past completions or only from now on.

• Reminders per habit: choose weekdays and a time, on iOS and Android.
• Check a habit off from the overview without opening it.
• Four new colors (slate, gray, neutral, stone) bring the palette to 21.

Track any habit and watch it fill in as a colorful tile grid, up to a year of completions on one screen, grouped by month, so gaps are obvious.

• Name, description, an icon from six categories and one of 17 colors per habit; light, dark or system theme.
• Open a habit's calendar and tap any past day to add or remove a completion.
• Archive habits instead of deleting them, and reorder from Settings.
• Back up to a JSON file you save or share yourself, and import it on a new phone. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.
• Four habits free; Pro (monthly, annual or lifetime) unlocks unlimited habits, import and export, and restoring archived habits.
