Identity First

Small actions.
Consistently.

Habits are the proof you cast for your identity. Here's everything you need to know about how they work.

🗳️
Habits are votes
Every time you log a habit, you cast a vote for the person you're becoming. One vote matters. A hundred votes is a landslide.
🪜
Start smaller than you think
The best habit is one you'll actually do. "Put on gym shoes" beats "run 5k" when you're building the identity — the bigger action follows.
📐
Flexible by design
Life isn't always daily. Choose daily or weekly goals, target specific days, and change your goal anytime — your history adjusts fairly.

Adding & Managing Habits

Each identity holds a stack of habits — the specific actions that prove you're living that identity. You can add as many as you need and manage them anytime.

Add habits when creating a new identity or anytime via the Edit Identity modal.
Each habit has a name (up to 80 characters) and a frequency goal — daily or weekly.
You can have multiple habits per identity. Each one tracks independently.
Rename any habit anytime — tap the pencil icon next to its name in the Edit modal.

Daily vs Weekly Goals

Choose the rhythm that fits your habit. Daily habits ask "did I do it today?" Weekly habits ask "how many times this week?"

Daily
Once a day
Good for: rituals and non-negotiables.
Meditate · Write in journal · Take vitamins · Read before bed
Goal resets every day at midnight.
One session marks it done. Bonus sessions are always welcome.
Optional: restrict to specific days (e.g., Mon–Fri only).
Tapped by mistake? Press and hold the log button to undo today's session.
Progress bar fills to 100% on first log, then shows "Bonus" mode.
Weekly
N times per week
Good for: higher-effort habits.
Run 5k 3×/week · Gym 4×/week · Cook dinner 5×/week
Goal resets every Monday. Progress counts from Mon–Sun.
Set target between 1 and 7 sessions per week.
Progress bar shows e.g. "2 / 3 this week".
You can log multiple sessions on one day — they all count toward the weekly total.

Change Your Goal — History Stays Fair

If you change a habit's goal — say, from daily to 3×/week — your past records don't get rewritten. The app remembers what your goal was at any given point in time and scores your history accordingly.

Change your goal anytime from the Edit Identity modal — tap the pencil next to any habit.
Past weeks where you hit your old goal still show as complete — no retroactive failure.
Your calendar and weekly review notifications always reflect the goal that was in effect on that day.
You can switch between daily and weekly as many times as you like.

Archive a Habit Without Losing History

Sometimes a habit runs its course — you've internalised it, or you need to deprioritise it. Archive removes it from your daily view without deleting a single logged session.

Archive from the Edit Identity modal — tap the archive icon on any active habit.
Archived habits disappear from your home screen and stop contributing to daily progress.
All your past logs are preserved. Your calendar history stays intact.
Restore any time from the "Archived" section in the Edit modal.
You must always keep at least one active habit per identity.

A Nudge at the Right Time

Each habit can have its own daily reminder — a push notification that arrives at the time you set. Fully optional, per habit, at any time of day.

Toggle daily reminders on or off per habit in the Edit Identity modal.
Pick any time in 15-minute increments — from midnight to 11:45 PM.
Reminders respect your quiet hours setting — nothing arrives while you're sleeping.
If the habit is set to specific days only, the reminder only fires on those days.
Already logged it today? The reminder is skipped — no nagging once you've cast your vote.
At most one reminder per habit per day — no duplicate nudges.
