Widget Done Feature
When you log a habit it shows as done on the widget.
For instance I’m trying to break a bad habit so I want to track how many times a day I do it. Even if I set the goal as zero and less is better, once I log one instance the widget shows as done.
Essentially making the widget useless.
Hi Kelsey,
Thanks for reaching out! This is really interesting, I see what you mean about bad habits.
When you log a bad habit, it’s logging a No, which is like saying “I did not do this bad habit today”.
If you do that in the app itself, it moves to the Done section, where you can tap the checkmark to undo and move it back up if needed, or swipe to log Yes/No again.
The Widget is designed to be a quick way to show just the things that are left to log today, and the more there are the slower and less reliable it becomes, so we can’t show the Done section without a significant performance hit.
So, in this case you could always open the app to see where you’re at with the bad habit, or you could create the tracker a bit differently as a normal/good habit with a name that takes the opposite perspective. For example, you could call it “No Sweets” and only log when you’ve gone the whole day without sweets (Yes, successful since it’s not set up as a bad habit).
Hope that helps! Feel free to reach out through email if you need anything else.
