Log counts, amounts and timed habits
Habits with a daily target, like 8 glasses or 20 pages, can be logged by tapping, by typing an amount, or with the focus timer.
Updated
Set Per day above 1 on the habit form and the habit gets a target, like 8 glasses or 20 pages. Then choose how you Log by.
Tap
“One tap per unit.” Each tap on the check adds 1, and the ring fills segment by segment until you reach the target.
Enter value
“Type the amount each time.” Tapping the check opens a Log sheet that shows what you’ve done so far. Type the amount and tap Add.
Timer
“A focus timer counts it.” Give the habit a Duration, then long-press its check on Today and choose Start timer (or Mark done).
The focus timer can Pause, Reset or Add five minutes. When time is up, tap Mark complete. Or tap Finish early and mark done. Each finished session adds 1 to the day. On iPhone, a running timer also shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
A day counts when the target is met
Streaks and Insights count a day once you reach the full target. Partial progress shows on the ring.
Undo resets the day
Tapping the check of a finished counted habit sets that day back to 0, not one step back.
