HabiDone Support
HabiDone is an app for managing habits, tasks, actions you want to limit, and diary entries from a single list. This page explains the main workflow, settings, premium features, and backup options.
1. Main structure
HabiDone uses four item types.
- Habit: things you want to keep doing
- Task: things with a due date or target
- Limit: things you want to cut back on
- Diary: daily notes and records
All of them appear in one list so you can record and review daily activity without switching screens.
2. Getting started
Add items
Use the + button in the top right of the main list to add a new Habit, Task, Limit, or Diary entry.
Enter progress
You can enter progress directly from the list.
- Tap: add progress
- Long-press: enter a value directly
Diary items use text entries, while habits, tasks, and limits use numeric progress or counts.
Move to other dates
Use the date at the top of the list and the left/right buttons to move between past and future dates.
- Past dates: review or add past records
- Future dates: check upcoming items and pre-deadline states
You can always return to today by scrolling the list upward.
3. Reading the list
Guide display
Each item can show guide text such as remaining days, required pace, count progress, or deadline information. The guide style can be changed in Settings.
You can also tap the guide on each item to switch how it is shown.
- Remaining + Pace
- Remaining + Count
- Remaining + Progress
- Deadline + Pace
- Deadline + Count
- Deadline + Progress
- Hidden
Status labels
Items can show states such as Active, Ready, Allow, Must Do, Do Not, Over, Done, Done Late, Not Started, or Ended. These are calculated automatically from the item type, schedule, and the date you are viewing.
For example, Habits and Tasks can show Active, Ready, Must Do, Done, or Done Late, while Limits can show Allow, Do Not, or Over.
By checking these status labels, you can quickly tell what kind of action to take for each item.
Edit or review an item
Use the … button on each item to edit it, duplicate it, open the monthly summary, or review history.
4. Creating items
Schedule
Each item can combine start dates, end dates, recurrence, weekdays, month dates, months, and flexible intervals based on the last completion date.
Show Early
Tasks can be shown before their due dates.
- Show Early: how many days in advance to show the item
Some Habit setups use Active Before Due to define how many days before a due date the item becomes active.
Secret
When Secret is enabled, premium users can mask the item title and diary text with passcode protection.
Color Tag
Color tags help categorize entries. For Diary items, you can also use the selected tag name as the title.
5. Common usage patterns
Track habits
Create a Habit and set a daily or weekly recurrence. You can record it directly from the list.
Manage deadline-based work
Create a Task, set an end date, and use Show Early if you want it to appear before the due date.
Reduce unwanted actions
Create a Limit to track how much or how often you want to stay under within a period.
Keep notes or a daily journal
Create a Diary to store personal notes. You can review them later from All Diaries.
