Temporarily skip a tracker
When circumstances do not allow me to perform task I would like to have it turned off temporarily. For example I am out of home and task is about cleaning up home.
Thanks to that I would not be troubled by reminders and it would not count to task statistics.
Thanks for your feedback on the skip feature for Strides. We just released a huge update that I think you’ll like…
New features: Skip and Due After Goal Met! Sometimes there’s a legitimate reason you can’t do your habit (like when you’re sick) or log one of your goals (it’s tough to log your weight when you stay in a hotel room with no scale). Now, you can swipe left and tap Skip so that tracker won’t count for the day! It won’t affect your Perfect Day, and none of its stats will consider the skipped date, including Reports.
For habits, you can also long-press a date in the calendar chart to log yes, log no or skip. For weekly/monthly habits, you can also enable the new Due After Goal Met option if you want to be encouraged to keep doing the habit after the goal has been met. By default a habit is hidden for the rest of the week/month after the goal is reached, but with this option you can keep seeing it, and skip without penalty if you don’t want to be an overachiever. :)
This update also improved the habit add log view, and added log yes, log no and skip options when long-pressing a habit calendar date. This update also made it easier to tell which date is selected in the calendar, and comes with several fixes.
Enjoy!

I love Strides. It’s beautifully simple. And it works like nothing else I’ve tried.
The trouble is, most of my habits are work-related, so it’s also at risk of turning me into a workaholic.
I totally get the logic that you need to do something every day to make it a habit. But there has to be a way to accommodate some time off from work at weekends (not least because you’ll eventually run out of steam otherwise).
Keep up the good work, guys. I’m off to pay for a subscription. :-)

Agree! When I’m traveling it doesn’t make sense to consider home related habits.

I agree. I am seriously contemplating purchasing a subscription. The decision would be much easier if I could pause certain goals. I am still waiting though until I see true progress on a couple of goals before taking that leap.

I agree.
Also for habits that you cannot do or choose not to do on holiday.
