Read 20 pages a day? That's 7,300 pages a year, about 24 books of 300 pages. Skip one day a week and it's still 20 books. Save this for your reading goal. How many books did you read this year?

Missed a few days of your habit? Don't wait for Monday. In data from 30,110 gym-goers, the longer the gap, the less likely most of them went back. Restart today, even small. Small today beats perfect on Monday. Source: Buyalskaya et al. 2023, PNAS

Can't make yourself go to the gym? Listen to your audiobook only at the gym. In one study, gym visits rose 51% at first; a bigger study still found 10% more workouts months later. The rule: only enjoy it while you do it. Sources: Milkman et al. 2014, Kirgios et al. 2020

See your habits add up. One tap a day, one square for every day you show up. Look back a month when you need proof it's working. Write one line on the days that were hard. Check your numbers once a week.

HabitKit 1.18.1 is live on the App Store! Now you choose what happens to completed habits. Tap the filter button at the top right of the overview and pick one: • Show in place: everything stays where it is, like before. • Sort to bottom: finished habits move below the ones still open. Check one off and it moves down a moment later. • Hide: finished habits disappear for the rest of the day and come back tomorrow. "Show completed" lets you see them any time.
