WIDGETS ARE HERE!
You have been asking for them for months, and our little team is finally delivering!
We didn't want to just build one simple widget... we've been working hard at building what we believe is one of the most complete suite of widgets of any habit tracker on the App Store. And we have many many more in our design files, shipping slowly over the next few months!
We have spend hundreds of hours planning, designing and developing those widgets. We have been testing them for a few weeks and we hope you'll love them as much as we do.
If you want to talk to the team or to other users, you can join our community on Reddit: reddit.com/r/HabitsApp
Some important information:
• You may notice that the widgets are not perfect yet, they are not interactive (we tried, but there are some iOS limitations that prevented us to make it work flawlessly —we are keeping an eye on Apple's annouvements), they might not refresh immediately at midnight, etc. But we have all this on our to-do list and will improve them over time.
• You need to be on iOS 17 to access the widgets.
• All users are able to create as many weekly calendar widgets as they want. Our more fancy widgets (current month calendar, last 3 months calendar, last 20 weeks grid) are exclusive to Premium users.
If you appreciate our work, please consider upgrading to Premium!
Huge thanks to everyone that sent us feature requests and ideas about widgets. We took note of everything!
---
By the way, this is Kevin writing, and I am lucky not to be alone working on the apps anymore. We are a small team and our company is called Cosmic Taps, you can check out our other apps at CosmicTaps.com
I would like to send a huge thanks to the entire team that was involved in making the widgets possible, they will recognize themselves!
I would have NEVER been able to work on this alone. I have been using the widgets on my phone for a few weeks and I still can't believe that they exist and look so beautiful.
Thank you
— Kevin

• Fixed the bug where you could not change the app icon.
• The default app icon is now the dark blue one (sligthly improved with a 3D effect).
But please vote for your favorite app icon on our Reddit community: reddit.com/r/HabitsApp

2023-06-14
• Fixed the size and display of the yearly calendar on many models of iPhone: iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 12 and 13 Mini, iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone 11 Pro, etc.
• Added: we added a link to our new Reddit community for the app, join us! It's on the Settings tab
• Fixed: when importing a data backup, if the only data present on device is the demo habit, the app will automatically delete it without showing a confirmation alert
• Fixed: if you try to export your data but have no habits, an error alert will appear
• Added a small explanation on the screen that appears when you take a screenshot. It looks like most users do not realize that this tool creates a perfectly cropped image that you can share to your friends or on social networks: it's centered, it hides the navigation and the tab bars, etc. So we added a small text that explains just that.

• New: if you'd like to see a short video explaining the following release notes, you'll find one in the Settings tab, by tapping "What's new"! Let us know if you like that format.
• Fixed: any user that was not on iOS 16 could not long-press a habit on the Today page to see the context menu with shortcuts. It's now fixed. Try it, there are many useful shortcuts in that menu! Thanks Mark for letting us know.
• Improved: you can manually delete the demo habit, if you'd like. This only applies to new users, so most of you reading this will never notice.
Remember to email us if you have any idea of feature request.
Take care, the team at Cosmic Taps
2023.7
2023-03-21
• Fixed: we should not be able to edit the information of the demo habit. Thanks Kien for letting us know!

From 2019.19:
• This update fixes an issue on iOS 13 that I had not even noticed: after creating a new habit from the Today page, it didn't automatically appear on the list! (because of changes in the way iOS 13 works).

As an example, if one of your habit is going to the gym, you can now record what muscle groups you trained last time, or how long you ran, etc. Thank you Andrew, Glenn, Nathananel, Dylan and many others!
• Shortcuts: I've added 2 new buttons to the tool bar, Reminders and Notes.

• iOS 13: fix the colors when the iOS mode is Dark but the app is in Light mode.
2019.12
2019-09-26
• WIDGET: I've increased the checkmark tap zone so that we do not accidentally open the app instead of marking a habit as completed (thank you Harry!)
• iOS 13: I made sure that the app works well on iOS 13. I was made aware of a little bug: if your habit title is too long, only half of it will appear (thank you Rishi). I will work on implementing 2-line titles soon, which will help fixing that. In the meantime, please shorten your habit titles :-)
As usual, if you have a minute to leave a review for the app, I would be incredibly grateful. It really helps climb the ranks of the App Store and get the app discovered by more people.

2019-07-15
- Added a promo banner, because Super Habit is celebrating its 1st anniversary with a price discount!
- Improved the error messages when failing the upgrade to Premium.
1.6.1
2019-04-09
• WEEKLY GOAL: all users can now create habits with a goal per week rather than a daily goal -it is not limited to Premium users anymore!
• REMINDERS PER HABIT: you can now create reminders associated to specific habits. They will only trigger if that specific habit’s daily or weekly goal is not complete yet, and you can specify on which week days the notification should be sent. To add reminders to existing habits, just tap ‘Edit’ on the habit page and scroll to ‘Reminders’.
• SHORTCUT FOR YESTERDAY: I’ve added a shortcut to quickly mark yesterday as Done/Not done. Just do a long press on any habit on “Today” tab and tap “Mark yesterday as Done“ (or Not Done). Keep in mind that you can tap ‘Past dates’ to quickly edit your completion for any other day.
• RELEASE NOTES: since a lot of us use automatic updates, we might miss on discovering new features because we do not read the release notes. An emoji will now appear in Settings to let you know that you haven’t read the most recent version of the release notes. It disappears as soon as you open the release notes.
NOTE: please note that you will keep your Daily notifications, and you can still add more in Settings/Daily reminders. The difference is that they will now trigger every day, even if you have completed all your habits for the day.
I know that it’s tiring to read ‘Please leave a rating or review’, but there is a reason why indie dev insist on this: each time of you takes the time to leave a positive review or rating, it has a real positive impact on the app ranking (basically the more positive reviews, the higher the app ranks). The better the app ranks, the more people discover it and the more time I can spend improving it.
So I’m sending you a BIG thank you if you take these 10 seconds to leave a rating, or 3 minutes to write a review!

Hi everyone! I am pretty excited about this update... I've finally implemented WEEKLY GOALS! :-)
There are some habits that we only have to do a few days a week rather than daily. It was pretty frustrating to see "0-day streak" when you actually went 3 times to the gym this week, for instance.
This is now a thing of the past: I am glad to announce that Premium users can now set a weekly goal to their habits! You can edit any habit you already have in the app and set its weekly goal.
Your streaks will be shown in weeks if your habit has a weekly goal, and in days if it's a daily habit.
Also new in this version:
• CALENDARS: the little calendars on the home page now show the current calendar week, rather than the last 7 days. You can change the first day of your calendar weeks in Settings.
• SHARING IMAGES: I've slightly improved the design of some sharing images. More templates coming soon.
• WHAT'S NEW: I've added a button in Settings to easily access release notes.
• SMALL TWEAKS: if you are typing a habit name and start scrolling, the keyboard will automatically close. If your current and longest streak are 0, no trophy emoji is shown. After you've tapped the "TO DO (TAP)" button a few times, the button text just becomes "TO DO". The add habit page has better spacing on small phones, as it's now a scroll view. Performances have been improved. It ain't much, but it's honest work.
Thank you all, and keep sending me feedback!
Leaving a rating or a review also REALLY helps climbing the ranks, so that more users discover the app.
Kevin

2019-02-22
Hi everyone! Hope you're making fantastic progress in your life and that Super Habit is helping you build great habits. In this version:
• VISUALS: you can now create beautiful visuals to share on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter. I plan to add more templates and gradients, so if you have a good eye for design, please send me your suggestions and I might implement them into the app :-)
• QUICK ACTIONS: on 'Today' screen, you can long press on a habit to access quick actions. This should help you save time and discover new settings!
• HISTORY and EDIT buttons: Many people asked me how they could mark dates in the past as "Completed", because the "Past dates" button was hard to spot. I've improved that and made the two buttons clearer.
• NOTIFICATIONS BUG: a few users encountered issues with notifications, I might have fixed that. I've also added a way to debug them, so if you have any issues, feel free to get in touch.
• v1.5.1: just noticed that the visuals images exported had a size of about 7MB! In v1.5.1 we’re now down to about 500KB per image.
More features coming soon!
Keep sending me feedback, I have received some fantastic ideas over the months.

• BUGS: this update fixes a few bugs that I noticed in the code, including one that could have caused a crash to some users.
Ratings and reviews are incredibly value to independent developers like me, as they really help climb the charts. So if you like the app and haven’t already left a review or a rating, please take a minute to do so! You can do that by going in Settings and tapping “Rate the app“.
Thank you so much,
Kevin
1.4.3
2018-11-14
• ONBOARDING: new users now see an sample habit when they first open the app. It automatically disappears when you add your first habit.
• NEW HABIT: when adding a new habit, it will not be automatically be marked as “completed” for the day anymore.
• LIFETIME PREMIUM: some of you have asked for an option to upgrade to Premium without subscribing, so I have now added a one-time purchase as an alternative option!
• RE-ORDER: small detail, but when you try to re-order habits (via the Settings), if you do not have habits, an explanation will now appear.
• BUG: on very rare occasions, the app crashes when opening the yearly view. It has only touches a few users, and I am not sure yet what’s causing it, but I’ve added some code that might solve the issue.
App Store reviews are extremely valuable for indie developers like me, as they really help climbing the ranks. So if you like the app and haven’t already left a review and star rating, please take a minute to do so. You can do that by going in Settings and tapping “Rate the app“.

Hi everyone! As the end of 2018 approaches, I hope you are still building strong new habits. I'm approaching 500 days of piano, with a 85% completion rate!
• HISTORY: I’ve added an additional warning emoji to make it clearer, but FYI: many users do not realize that you can mark dates in the past. Just tap on the habit tile itself (not the bottom band of the habit) and then tap “History”. I will work on making this clearer, and adding it to the habit creation page.
• LAST 365 DAYS: if you have completed a habit less than 2 days in total, the app will not display the “Last 365 days” calendar (it was confusing for new users).
• DAYS PER ROW: the app now displays an info message when you change the number of days per row (to make it clearer).
• UNARCHIVE: before, if you had no archived habits, tapping “unarchive” would not do anything. I’ve added an alert to explain what the option does.
• RATE THE APP: when you tap that option in the Settings menu, it now directly opens the review panel in the App Store. Thank you!
• PREMIUM: I’ve implemented monthly and yearly subscriptions for Super Habit Premium. Thank you very much for your support since the beginning.
• IMPORT/EXPORT: when you tap on Import/Export, if you are not Premium, the app will now show the import/export options available with Premium.
My to-do list is still very long, but I’ll work on all the improvements you’ve asked me! Looking forward to helping you build new habits in 2019…
Thank you,
Kevin

2018-10-05
Hi everyone, and a warm welcome to the thousands new users from AppAdvice and Reddit! I’ve received many feedback emails and reviews (thank you) and am working on all your suggestions. If you haven’t rated or reviewed the app yet, please take a minute to do so, it helps me SO much to climb the App Store charts! There is a button to do so in “Settings”. Here’s what I’ve added to this version:
- LAST 7 DAYS: many of you wanted an easy way to check your last 7 days for each habit. I’ve added that to the Today tab: each habit tile now contains a mini 7-day calendar :-) Please let me know what you think.
- AUTO-REFRESH: if you happen to be on “Today” screen when a new day begins (at midnight), the page will now automatically refresh to show data for that new day.
Many more improvements coming soon. Keep sending me your suggestions by tapping “Contact” in Settings!
Keep building a great life,
Kevin

Hi everyone! Here’s what’s new:
- CUSTOM APP ICONS: Pro users can now chance the App Icon –the one that appears on your Home Screen! If your favorite color is not listed, just get in touch and I’ll create it and add it to the next update!
- HELP ALERT: The app now shows a help alert after a new user creates its first habit, to help understand how to add dates in the past.
- HELP ARROW: It also shows an animated arrow to indicate where to tap to add a habit (thank you Benjamin).
- REMINDERS: I’ve slightly improved the screen to add reminder notifications (thanks Ed).
- BATTERY: I fixed a small issue that could drain too much battery and that was introduced in the previous update. Don’t know if anyone noticed since we don’t spend hours on the app every day, but anyway, it’s fixed.
Keep sending feedback and working on your habits,
Kevin

Hi all, I'm glad to announce that an exciting new feature is ready!
- REMINDERS: you can FINALLY add daily reminders. You can set a daily reminder at a certain time of the day (in the Settings tab), and if you haven’t completed all your habits that day, a notification will be sent to your phone. You can choose to use a custom title (ex: practice the piano), or to leave the field empty, and therefore receive a random motivational quotes amongst dozens I have gathered. Pro users can set up unlimited daily reminders!
- Haptic feedback: when you complete a habit, you should now feel a slight vibration to celebrate that small success. You will also feel a “negative” vibration if you uncheck a habit. Please note that this only works for iPhone 7 and above.
- Bug: in Dark Mode, there was a section on the habit “History” page that was white. Fixed.
More features coming soon. Keep sending feedback!

Hope you are having a fantastic summer! This update adds import/export for Pro users.
Here's how it works: all users (Pro and non-Pro users) already have their data automatically backed up to their iPhone's iCloud/iTunes backup. But in some cases, you might want to be able to export that data and have a second backup, or to import data to another device.
If you do not use iCloud backups, or if you want to install the app on a new device that you do not restore from an iCloud/iTunes backup, you can use that new option to import all your habits data. I recommend saving a backup every two weeks, but you can do it more or less often.
Next up: I am now working on daily reminders (notifications). You've been waiting for it for a long time, and I thank you very much for your patience. Keep sending me your feedback and suggestions, it is very useful.
Enjoy the summer and keep building yourself a fantastic life!

TL;DR: added “Last 365 days“ when tapping on a habit. Many more features coming soon.
Hi from Barcelona! It has been an incredible week, Super Habit has had a fantastic launch this week on ProductHunt and Reddit, and I can’t thank you enough for all the messages of support you have sent me. Many of you told me that you upgraded to Pro in part to support my indie dev adventure, and I am so thankful… Also, I am so glad that this little app will maybe have an impact on so many lives. I’ve implemented several long-term habits in my life, and they are so rewarding in the long-term.
This is a very small update that adds a “Last 365 days“ to your habits history. As some of you know, I built the app to track my daily practice of the piano. I’m very close to reaching 1 year of practice, and want to take a nice screenshot when that milestones comes. But since I started in the middle of the year 2017, the 1-year screenshot would have been weird and split in two different years.
So I just made myself a favor and added a “Last 365 days“ calendar when you tap a habit. I hope it will be useful to some of you as well!
Many of you have sent feedback and requested the same important features, so let me tell you what is definitely on the roadmap over the next few weeks, ordered by priority:
- Import/Export for Pro users. Data is saved in your iPhone iCloud and iTunes backups, but what if you never backup, or want to do a clean install of your phone, or import/export from/to another app? This feature will solve these issues.
- Reminder notifications. That has been very heavily requested. I’ll start with one global notification a day for the app, and then will add notifications for each habit if enough of you are interested.
- Support habits that you have to complete several times a day (drink 8 glasses of water, meditate two times a day, etc.).
I will try and implement those features as fast as possible, but I don’t want to ship half-baked features, so I won’t rush just for the sake of releasing an update quickly. I thank you all for your patience.
A few reading recommendations:
- If you suffer from procrastination, read the book “The Now Habit“ by Neil Fiore PhD., it will probably change your life.
- If you are learning difficult and long-term skills (languages, music, programming,…), read “Mastery” by Robert Greene. You will see that the path to mastering any skill is not a smooth and constant growth: it’s made of long plateaus where you can’t see any progress, followed by sudden improvements, and then back to a new, higher, plateau. The key to “mastery” is to have the courage to follow through during plateaus, when you can’t seem to notice any growth, and then celebrate those surprise improvements.
- Also a great read, https://jamesclear.com/goals-systems helps understand that we should not focus on the result, but rather on enjoying the journey as much as we can.
Please keep sending me feature requests, your feedback plays a big role on defining product roadmap.
All the best and keep growing as a person through great daily habits, it is so worth it.

Hi all, here is a small update that fixes two issues:
- In All-time completion of a habit, the data for the completion rate was for the current year, should have been all-time.
- Some devices with specific configuration could not use the app, because the walkthrough alert was not centered. Sorry about that!
Keep sending feedback and building great lives!

Thank you for all the feedback! Tap “Contact“ in settings to get in touch. Here’s what’s new:
Features:
- Brand new design for Today’s page! It's clearer and puts more emphasis on your current streak, as well as letting you see more habits on screen. To mark a habit as done for the day, tap the bottom zone of the cell.
- I added all-time stats information on the details page of a habit (to see them, tap on any habit cell).
Bug fixes:
- Some screens could show a "snap" effet when scrolling. It's now smooth as butter!
- White spaces are now automatically removed from the beginning and end of a habit name.
- After editing the name of a habit, the title of the page now immediately gets updated.
Thank you all and keep building a great life!
Kevin
