If you went through the welcome steps, you already have one: onboarding sets up your first habit for you. To add one yourself, use the orange + button in the middle of the tab bar.
- Open the Today tab and tap the orange + button.
- Type a Name, like "Read" or "Meditate for 10 minutes".
- Add a Goal (optional) if you like, such as "10 pages a day". It shows under the name on the card.
- Pick an Icon and a Color.
- Under Days, choose Every day, Weekdays or Custom.
- Turn on Reminder and set a time if you want a nudge.
- Tap Start habit.
Your habit now shows up on the Today screen. Tap the check next to it whenever you've done it for the day.
On the free plan you can have one active habit at a time. If you already have one, the app offers to archive it or to go unlimited with Plus.
